Oscar Recap in Video Highlights
by Jordan, Intern[A]* So you missed the 84th Annual Academy Awards on last night.  Perhaps you had errands.  Maybe you had a hot date (me neither).  Or maybe you, like me, were too busy experiencing an emotional rollercoaster with Lifetime Movie Network’s impromptu screening of “A Walk to Remember.”  Whatever your excuse, here’s what you missed out on in a quick recap of the good, the bad, and...

Server maintenance, Sunday 1am - 6am EST
Due to maintenance at Rackspace, on Sunday morning from 1am - 6am there will be a disruption of connectivity to the Internet for all of our services. This means shelby.tv may not be available for some amount of time during that window, and our pollers will miss some updates (from Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr) during that window as well.

Learn By Doing
Most of my life has been baptism by fire. I remember my college coach used that term about me as a player at the end of my freshman season, saying I survived their baptism by fire as a rookie starter. I remember my first internship interview when I had no experience in TV production, but said “I’ll do anything you need” pointed to an unfinished wall and said “I can finish...

NYC Tech Blood Drive - Round 3
reecepacheco: For anyone who’s still wondering if we here at Shelby.tv actually bleed video, or if Myles is really a cyborg, you can get your answer on February 11 when we host the next NYC Tech Blood Drive. Besides THE CHANCE TO SAVE A LIFE, we’ll be hanging out watching Shelby, talking tech, and maybe even playing a little ping pong once our blood pressure comes back.  So sign up. Seriously....

Shelby, and TechStars and SXSW, oh my!
SXSW Interactive. The infamous weekend where techies the world over collide in a BBQ-sauce-covered shouting match of startup ideas and marketing spend. Am I mocking it? Yes. Will I be there shouting just as loudly? Yup. ;) But I won’t be alone! Instead, I’ll be hanging with 1000 of my closest friends as TechStars teams from NYC, BOS, SEA and even the original gangsters of Boulder...

Shelby.tv is going dark to protest SOPA
By now, we’ve all heard about SOPA (booooooooo!). Shelby.tv is joining sites such as Wikipedia and Reddit to protest this dangerous bill, and will go dark tomorrow (January 18th) to show just how sad the web would look under SOPA. (And a world without Shelby is a sad, sad world.) If SOPA passes, the U.S. Department of Justice and copyright holders could seek court orders against websites...

This is the best birthday gift Shelby could have hoped for <3 Thanks, other Shelby! :) From the article:  I expected the sticker in the mail but was thrilled with the handwritten note I received along with it. When I saw it, I thought, “They get it. They really get it.” When I say that, I mean that they get how to humanize and personalize their company, which is something I valued at a...

Building in a bubble
reecepacheco: I’ve said before that it’s easy to get hopped up drinking your own startup Kool-Aid. You’re sitting around with great people, rapping about an idea and everyone feels the energy and says “yeah YEAH YEAH! Let’s do it!” When it comes to building a product… that’s a death sentence. Or is it? On the one hand, when you build, write, or create in an insulated environment, you’re...

2 inexplicably popular videos from this weekend
Usually when I track video popularity within Shelby, I’m not surprised by what boils up to the top. But this past weekend, two very different videos competed for attention. One of these is an ABBA tribute. The other is a new rap video. I’m not telling you which. Good luck.  http://shel.tv/zjLUzy | http://shel.tv/Aa0Rsg -Lauren
