Davis Freeberg’s Site Of The Week
This week’s winner of the site of the week (cough: weeks) was Tube Battle. I’m not sure why I like competitions so much, but Tube Battle is a lot like another favorite site of mine, PickTheHottie.com TubeBattle puts two videos up against each other and the audience votes for their favorite ones. They have categories ranging from comedies, to movie trailers, to viral videos, they even have a sexy category for the Break.com crowd.
One drawback to using the site was that it does take a bit of a time commitment, if you really want to play the game right. If a video was really lame, I wouldn’t watch the whole thing, but for a lot of the videos I found, they weren’t the sort of things I’d look for normally.
By finding a new way to organize videos, Tube Battle has been able to create it’s own community beyond YouTube. It’s another neat example of how the web 2.0 community is using existing technology, in order to create a unique experience. By taking embedded content from other sites and rearranging it for their users, Tube Battle has created a new way to discover video content.
Congratulations to Tube Battle on winning this week’s site of the week award. The nominations for next week’s award are listed below. You can vote in the sidebar. If you know of a good site that should be nominated for site of the week, please feel free to contact me and I’ll be happy to take a look.

What is going on with Pow . I can not get any information on this stock.
They just made a multi year deal with Disney ,But the stock price is flat.
Wow why is guerilla mail is winning wtf with that. you can create any E-mail account with any E-mail provider and just leave it you don’t need one the expires in 15 min. the only thing that having a 15 min E-mail address is good for is to make sure you don’t get any more information that you want. and what if you want to go back and see an old E-mail can’t do it with Guerilla mail . thats why everyone should vote for i jigg.
I thought the idea of Guerilla Mail was neat, but I’m not sure if there is really a lot of value to having it expire. Still, it’s a tool people can use to stay anonymous, if they don’t feel like giving out permanent info. Combine it with an anonymous proxy service and a fake Skype account and you could almost be untraceable. On the poll, Guerrilla Mail is winning, but my secret proprietary sotw forumla discounts votes that come from the same IP address. According the official count, it’s actually tied right now, so the next vote will pick the winner and trigger the start of a new contest. I’m not sure if Stan Lee’s voted or not, but I love the comic books, but would take a pass on the stock. It’s a creative way to stock spam, so I’ll leave it up, but trust me, I’m not the guy you want taking a closer look at your hot stock picks. There are no reporting requirements on the pink sheets, it dramatically increases the chances for fraud. I don’t think that it’s a good idea to buy companies that aren’t required to update shareholders. Stick with things that are on the big exchanges, they provide a lot more liquidity and protection.
