Webjacked: How Freeoverstock.com was Taken Down
By webjacking (the digital or online version of hijacking) standards, this was swift and ruthless. A David vs Goliath contest, and David did not put up a fight - could not afford to. The fight was over before it even started, and the bully stole David’s lunch. If you have no idea what this is all about, here is what happened.
Freeoverstock.com is the bright, business idea of Sarkis Chakarian. The idea was to convince businesses to pay him to offload their overstock - stuff that is not selling and taking up warehouse space, and costing them money to store.

Rollmio’s User-generated Video Commercial
The video above is the first user-generated video commercial from Rollmio. Rollmio, first featured here last month, provides a platform for users to create video commercials for (Rollmio) clients, and the video in this post is one of ten selected by Rollmio for their Think Green campaign. Although not one of the top three winners, I personally think it should have won the top prize, and that is why I chose to promote it.
The video in this post could easily be used for a TV commercial, just like Nick Haley’s, which Apple is using for their latest iPod Touch TV commercial. You may view the other user-generated videos selected by Rollmio here.
