Duckie I can totally accept that this is just some backstory leading up to the movie, but isn't that what we all expect it is? Can it have some jokes and humor in it too? Certainly.
Finding humor in knowing they are all probably going to die or at least loose a friend on the fateful day - that's just macabre. I like it.
But actually I think that same reasoning of our foreknowledge of their fates can also increase the sense of suspense and dread that goes with such a thriller sort of a movie.

All movies have a sort of a 'backstory', some have it in preexisting works, while others work to create it, and others incorporate it into the movie. A few explain or create it later, as a sequel or a form of fan support. The new way of creating the backstory for us here is what's novel and fun to me.

this is what i think about this whole game/thing that we are following here as pertains to jamieandteddy.com & the myspace profiles:

in any good horror/thriller movie a portion of that movie is dedicated to character development to flesh out the protagonists and ultimately make you feel sorry for them when michael myers comes around the corner and knifes them. now if they didnt go through the character development process you wouldnt give a crap if they live or die in the end and the whole movie experience would be less satisyfing to you.

in short i believe this side of the game is a fresh, new, and expanded take on character development.. x1000.

I posted a new video

Everyone is sticking to only two things she could shout at a person, "GET OUT" and "GET UP".
Consider that the person is basically laying on her thigh, hand at the waist. That's a bit intimate, don't you think?
If that's a guy she slept with, or a woman she doesn't know, she has every reason to say "GET OFF/AWAY FROM ME".
Considering the phonetics of it, and how horny some people think our party girl Jamie is, couldn't she be yelling "GIVE ME ANOTHER ORGASM!"
(OK, that last part was just for humor's sake.)

She could be also yelling at marlena to get the #$% here to take care of her cousin.

no editing for jamie

It could just be Jamie's lack of technical know-how. The site is registered to Teddy, not Jamie. So, if Teddy set it up for her, or at least gave her the equipment and told her what to do, then it's possible that she only knows how to start, stop, and send a video. And, that's all. Hence, no editing. She might not even know how to delete a file and just start over from scratch. Maybe anything recorded gets saved, not on Jamie's computer, but on a site that Teddy has access to - who knows?

Anyway, we'll never 'figure it out' because we don't have enough information. The simplest explanation for a lot of our speculation, though, would be that Jamie just doesn't know how to do anything w/regard to the videos; hence, the UTI talk, and the person in the bed, and Jamie's general clumsiness and lack of style on these videos. We'll see, I suppose.

Sorry if this has been brought up already..but if she can send him texts
and videos.. why cant she just call him???

To me that the weird part...

I believe she mentiond that she was going to call him when she gets her new phone.

Even if you could get the videos to post automatically, someone has to setup the link on the webpage for each new video. And that web page says "for my baby", which implies to me that it was setup by Jamie as a way to give something to Teddy.

Of course, that seems to conflict with the way Jamie is portrayed as a bit of a techno-klutz. I get the subtle feeling that some of what we're getting is being made up as they go along, since we've seen some apparent inconsistencies (e.g., Hawk mentions chugging a Slusho back in early June, but Tagruato is just now gearing up their campaign to market it in the US). Ah well, it's a fun ride anyway!
