Spread the Dr Horrible Word
Help get Dr Horrible noticed among the masses.
The video has been submitted to a number of social bookmarking sites and you can help it get noticed more by going to those sites and clicking (If you don’t have an account with them sign up – usually free). This is one of the most effective ways of spreading the word around the ‘net but it takes a lot of people participating to really make it work – so click away.
This is awesome!

July 15th, 2008 at 2:45 pmYou seem to have be experiencing what I presume to be the digg/slashdot effect on drhorrible.com — as I am sadly unable to load it to watch Act 1.
July 15th, 2008 at 2:47 pmWhy does it say FREE airing will end july 20th you mean to tell me we have to PAY to see a SHOW. Its CRAP like this that makes IP TV not in the masses SHAME ON YOU. too bad too cause its a really good show but i am not PAYING to watch it for sure
July 15th, 2008 at 2:51 pmI still can’t see it. I’ve been trying for forever. Why won’t it let me in???!!! I need to see this now.
Is there any other place online that we can access it from? I saw something about hulu, but I don’t see it there.
July 15th, 2008 at 2:51 pmThe Site Doesn’t Load. Sweet Fluffy Lord, THE SITE DOESN’T LOAD!!!!!!!!!
July 15th, 2008 at 3:04 pmI’m soooooo disappointed! I still can’t get on the site and I don’t know what to do!

July 15th, 2008 at 3:37 pmDo you see any other revenue stream for anyone that was part of the film? Do you see any advertising or product placement other than the iPhone? Do you really think Apple would give them a dime for that? This isn’t primetime with millions of viewers sitting through advertisements for cars, drugs, phones, and food. Show a little respect, pony up a couple lousy dollars and support the work. It’s Joss Whedon doing the production with an actual cast. This isn’t a backyard project with friends. Even the Hulu stream had no ads!
Some more examples of “FREE” media with the option to BUY something to support the work:

Ok I don’t want to go off on a tangent but…
Craig: what you are saying is 1) Rude and 2) not accurate. “Free” TV (ex. broadcast stations such as WB and Fox) is supported by ads. From what I understand Dr. Horrible has none. On top of that ad purchasers aren’t really behind the whole “Internet video” thing despite being able to better track how many people are watching your ad; basically people aren’t buying into it because it’s too new. To sum up it’s very hard to make money from internet video in the traditional way.
This is a work that in all likelihood would have been expensive to make if Joss hadn’t called in so many favors. On top of that it has very high quality talent attached to it. These people should be paid. Finally this is really no different from a TV show that goes off the air and the only way to see the show is buy the DVDs.
Mr. O: I don’t think free media would work in this case, I think Joss’s business plan for this particular work is very sound.
