Your Broadcaster - you in the director chair
If you have always wanted to be a film titan and you love team work, (that ole collaborator in you), Your Broadcaster puts you in the director chair. Your Broadcaster is a Web 2.0 project where everyone (like you) contributes material for 5 full length feature films in these genres: Bollywood, Thriller, Comedy, Drama, Horror.
Members' participation is primarily through the upload of scripts, auditions, characters, cartoons and stunts among others, which are voted on by other members. Uploads of the most successful member will be used as the basis for the final film.
If you don't want to collaborate on the film project, but still want to show your stuff, you can join Your Broadcaster for free and upload your content such as videos, photographs, audio or video mash-up. Currently, the upload limit is 2 MB per individual data, e.g., video, photo, etc. You still get to vote and you can create your own web page, blog to share, view or post information.
If you do want to collaborate on one or all of the films, the fee is $10 for each, or $35 for however many you want. If you so desire, there is a $10 copyright fee to protect your work.
It's interesting to see how the crowd sourcing trend is impacting our world. Who would have thought Joe Public might get a shot at Oscar night? We're not saying Your Broadcaster will garner that type of success. It could very well share the same fate as the Million Penguins wiki novel, an experiment to publish a crowd sourced novel.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
