 		Posible Jamie Theory
Ok, here's my 0.2 cents...

There will be a seventh vid by Jamie and it will start out like normal. Jamie will complain that she is so P.O at Teddy that she is dumping him. She reaches to turn off the cam, but stops when she hears a knock. She wanders off screen and she talks to someone speaking japanise. We then hear a fight break out. Jamie wanders back on camera being strangled by a man in a buisness suit. The camera falls on it's side. the fight falls quiet. We see a hand coverd in a white glove slowly feel the cam, then smash it. the video goes to static. If you freeze frame the vid right before the cam is smashed, you see the man has cufflinks with the Tag logo on them.

Cool, huh?

 		It would be cool, yes... but... who would upload it?

1. The camera would be smashed.
2. Jamie is gone and can't upload it.
3. The Tagruato employee isn't going to want that video to get on the internet, so he's obviously not going to want to upload it.

i think that it has been reasonably well established that the camera is a live feed. otherwise, why would jamie have posted the entire vid of her opening the present, she would have just posted something afterward saying "you're a prick and i'm done" also she wouldn't have posted the part of the 3rd vid with the he/she moving around in her bed. so the vid would have been posted automatically.

here is my theory, jamie is doing a "i am so pissed, teddy i hate you, man my uirnary tract is killing me..." video when all of the sudden you see a black blur and hear a sword getting unsheathed and then jamie's head falls off, and the video cuts to an "ask a ninja" video.

p.s. if you dont know about ask a ninja go to askaninja.com and watch some of the vids, hilarious.

Oh, I got ya, I was under the impression she uploaded them to the site.


And any video that cuts into an ask a ninja video is automatically awesome.

Period.

 		But she's at the party. And happy. "Spread my hotness" and all that. I don't think it's a live feed, but as to why she would have posted the "oops, someone in my bed" is pretty odd. I don't think we're supposed to "think" too much (hence all the clue being spelled out for us and being less "clues" than pointers).

I seriously doubt that it's meant to be a live feed.

She's just too lazy to bother re-shooting them when something goes wrong and doesn't know how to edit them.

Watch the widget trailer. She's not at the party.

Then how do you explain her writing a note to Rob on the back of one of the 1-18-08.com pics which obviously show her at the party?

 		Randy could try to contact her after the fact. Then go and investigate. Find the video and upload it with a message before hand.

I dunno. I think it would be cool.

Look at 1-18-08.com. She's at the party.

Both sources are very official, thus both as credible as you can get. Either you accept that she just doesn't show in the footage thus far (or at all) or you say that the photos on the site are a lie. If they are, then what's the point of having Jamie in the viral campaign? A character that exists only in the story leading up to the movie, just to vanish like she never existed? She interacts on MySpace with the others, makes little sense to have evidence of her at the party then make her vanish completely.

The videos don't make any sense as 'live'. You don't use a password to get into a live feed that's a link to a named video file. Also note, she said of the first video that Teddy 'watched it 10 times already'. Hard to do that with a live video, unless Teddy has some miraculous power over time and space or makes her act out the same video 10 times. Granted, Jamie appears dumb enough to follow such orders, but really - let's keep to something reasonably plausible.

She makes it to the party, the videos are not live. Neat sounding scene for sure, but doesn't make any sense in light of what we know.

 		She'll start out at the party and then wander off to the harbor, not an unreasonable walk by any means.

And then all hell breaks loose.

Just a theory, though... Wink

 		ok so here is my take on the whole "but she lives to make it to the party" argument. I dont think that she is at the party. in fact i dont think that she is even in the movie. I completely believe that the pics on 1.18.08.com are only there to lead us to the arg, and to lead us further into the arg. because if you are going off of validity than there isn't a much higher authority on the film than (sorry i am tire and can't remember his name) the guy from the production who said that the events do not take place on 1-18-08. so I think that jamie/teddy are both solely arg characters who are completely expendable. just my take.
