Good Evening! I have some GREAT news! We just got a YouTube LIVE account and tomorrow we will be doing a test webcast at 7pm Central time. Please join us so we can test this thing out. The live webcast link will be on our YouTube channel and I will post it here once we get started. Between now and then I would like you to do me a big favor! Please go to the YouTube page below and subscribe to the channel. If this platform works out this will be a way for you to stay connected when you are away from here. https://www.youtube.com/GottaDeal Thanks!

Dallas, Texas If anyone wants to camp with me and my group let me know.

Here are some camping tips that is posted on the main Black Friday site. http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridayCamping

I think you will see some sales starting early since Hanukkah starts on thursday. You may start to see the sales start early in some Jewish areas as the Hanukkah does start at sundown. Most non Jewish people don't realize that Hanukkah is not a major Jewish holiday. It did not become a major Jewish holiday until the 1950's in the US. It only became a major gift giving holiday because of xmas.

Yes we will. Follow us on Facebook and check back here often. When an ad breaks I will post a time when we will be on the air.

I know this question will come up so I will go a head and address it. Why are we starting late this year? The main reason we are starting a little late this year is I dont want people to become bored with the webcasts. The webcasts in October are not as exciting as the ones in Nov. The ones in Oct are needed but not as many. Last year I started to see the view numbers slipping toward the middle of Nov. Another reason it takes time to prepare for each show. It takes around 10 hours a week to prepare a show. I am not complaining at all. If you are my friend on the books of faces (Facebook) then you will know I have been traveling a lot of my film studio has been growing a lot. I am also going to school for a side career that none of you would ever guess. I cant wait for another fun Black Friday season and if you have any ideas or comments for the webcast post them below!

Here are the details! http://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/198993-black-friday-webcast-thread-details-schedule-more/

Good Morning friends from Bossier City! I just wanted to chime in and let everyone know that we will have webcasts this year. Right now i am in the backwoods of Louisiana but will be back in Texas this weekend. When I get back home I will post details about the webcasts. Next week I will be doing two test webcasts in the evening. One on Google plus and the other on Livestream. We will see what platform works for everyone. I think this will be year number 3 or 4 for the webcasts. I am very thankful for Brad's support and the support everyone here has give me. We are the only Black Friday site that does a webcast and this is why GD is the number 1 BF site in the world. If you have any questions, comments or just want to say you are happy happy happy post them in this thread. I will make a new thread when I get back to Texas.

Just reviewing video from the wire services and on YouTube I would now say that WM is not so bad on Black Friday and that Victoria's Secret is now some place you want to avoid. More violence and mobs at Victoria's Secret then WM this year.

Black Friday 2012 is in the history books! Thanks for your support!

They are different......Asian, Kosher, Cajun, Southern, Baking, Pasta, Sandwiches.

Here is a Blog that the HuffPo did during BF. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/22/black-friday-2012-live-updates_n_2166965.html

Hey everyone! I am sorry about not able to do the webcasts. I tried my best but it could not work. I was not happy because I take pride in my word and felt I let everyone down. We will have a post game show 7PM CT this Saturday. I hope everyone has a safe BF.

The problem with Livestream is that it uses several streams and servers to do your webcast. For example if you pick the High + Mobile + Medium setting it logs into 3 servers. With Ustream if you pushed it to HD or whatever it goes to one server. Using a hotspot it does not work at all. Last year with ustream it worked. I tried to use the BB network and I got flagged for using too much bandwidth.

Night Hawk leaving base.....SECURITY!!

10 min warning!!! https://new.livestream.com/gottadeal/events/1683919

Loose lips sink ships

Just a reminder that we will have another webcast tonight at 7PM CT!

Thanks everyone for posting and giving your thoughts. The reporter went in another direction but we really appreciate your help and thoughts! You are the best. Closing......
