I produce a YouTube show about media literacy/criticism. Right now we post weekly, on a schedule which is driving me insane. Does frequency of publishing new content matter (whether it's for a blog, a podcast, a comic, etc) so long as you publish regularly? Could I do it every other week or monthly without losing people's attention? And what do you suggest doing to help make up for less-frequent publishing? [more inside]

I would like to take a given RSS feed (e.g. MetaFilter's feed), and create a derivative feed containing only the items with YouTube links in the content, with the destination URLs changed to the YouTube links (rather than the source of those links). Does something like this already exist? If not, what's the simplest way to create it? I can write code if necessary, but would rather not if there's an alternative. [more inside]

Is there a way to make a copy of that still shot and post it on a website?

Has anyone used the Multi-Video Upload Tool to upload their video to YouTube? It's been over 24 hours since I uploaded a 200mb video and it has yet to show up in My Videos. On the upload tool it mentions "It may take 30 minutes or more for extremely large files to appear on your My Videos page." While 200mb Is big, I didn't think quite counted as "extremely large" considering they allow videos up to 1gb now. And of course any and all emails to YouTube have gone unanswered, which I hear is the common response to tech support questions. When I uploaded the same video to Google Videos it went online almost instantly. So, how have other people's experience with the Multi-Upload Tool fared?

Early in the summer, London 2012 released a hybrid animated / live action brand video showcasing their new Wolf/Ollins logo. It has since been scrubbed from the internet - I linked to a YouTube posting of the video that has been taken down (along with an excellent Save The Rave remix), and they've done a crack job of flushing it from the internet entirely. Apparently, there were health concerns. Help me find a copy of the original I loved so much!
