YouTube Accounts, Keep them active!

OK, I want to tell you a story but I don't want to, or actually, I can't tell you too many details. So recently I was at Gasser's in San Francisco and I was asking about a Canon to Nikon adapter ring... I just wanted to see one and and decide if I wanted to get one so that I could use all of Jeff Regan's Nikon lenses on the 5DMk2.  The guy next to me was asking about the 5D too and we had a good long chat about the pros and cons of the camera as a video camera.

Turns out he works for a certain video site that, uh, lets you broadcast yourself in San Bruno.  We'll I had been having some problems with my account and after a nice chat with this guy and a couple eMails later that night I had everything taken care of with my account. (sometimes it really does pay to live in the San Francisco Bay Area as I would never had this face to face, chance encounter anywhere else in the world).

So, my word of advice to anyone that has a youtube account is make sure you keep it active. (did i just say youtube?) Don't let it go dormant and you may want to keep some activity every, say... 6 months or so.
