MTV.com Community Beta Launch
As promised months ago when we flipped the site from a short-lived Flash experience back to an HTML platform, we’ve been constantly working on new MTV.com features and improvements. The smaller stuff has been rolling out quite regularly, but now we’re ready to test something a bit bigger.
Today we took the first step towards implementing community features with the launch of beta.mtv.com. Admittedly, it’s a baby step: mostly it’s commenting and the ability to rate content (video, photo, articles). But creating the back end for this lays the foundation for other features that comprise most online communities (user profiles, customization, messaging, etc.) that we will unveil in the coming months.
We have also made it possible for you to snag our music video clips and post them to your MySpace page or blog. The video embed codes sit to the left of our music videos.
Because we want to get it right before going public, we’ve got the beta launch. We invited people who previously registered with MTV.com to take part and asked them to invite their friends. But you’re not left out, either. Interested MTV Labs users are invited to join in, too, by clicking here.
So, please, kick the tires a bit for us. Rate music videos new and old, sound off on a news article and engage other beta testers in conversation. And let us know the good and the bad of how it’s working by leaving a comment here.

Dani, you may not have stolen Tila’s heart but you definitely stole mine! You are without a doubt, the most sincere, compassionate, loving and honest person that (unfortunately I’ve never met). I cried my heart out for you when Tila didn’t say your name. You are way to good of a person for her anyway. I only wish I could meet a woman half as great as you! You are one in a million! I hope that one day our paths may cross. Love, your biggest and most sincere fan!

ok yes im mad about the tila thing i really thought she should have picked dani i mean when she was huging bobby after she picked him there was no love in his eyes there was nothing… all he wants is to be laied… but n e way im on here cauzz every time i got to watch a video or leave a comment on one it swhiches over to a whole new vido and i dont even click n e thing some one needs to fix this plzz…. DANI I LOVE YOU AND IF I WERE NOT MARRIED I WOULD SO GIVE YOU A SHOT AT LOVE I HOPE YOU FIND SOME ONE GOOD FOR YOU…
December 19th, 2007 at 12:15 am
Dude, and i the only one happy that nice lil innocent Bobby won!!!! Dani was too man for Tila, i think that she made the right decision.
December 19th, 2007 at 12:15 am
JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WE ALL ARE WITH YOU DANNI BELIEVE THAT TILA WAS STUPID FOR NOT PICKING YOU. ( LESBIAN LOVE ALWAYS )
December 19th, 2007 at 12:16 am
OK I had to write again. I am just so shocked. I honestly thought she would pick Dani. I cried for Dani. I have been there and know how it feels to have your heart ripped out and handed too you. I am still so upset with how the hangover show went. I dont know if Bobby was trying to be cool because of Dani and knowing that she was still hurting but it really didnt look like Bobby was a man in love. I feel so bad for Dani while she was watching that special message to Bobby. Why did they have to do that? They could have just brought Bobby out to do that and had Dani in the back where she could see or hear it. I am so sorry for you Dani and I wish you the best.
December 19th, 2007 at 12:20 am
Dani, I’ve sent a couple of comments in already but have not given you my e-mail. I think you are the most genuine, unselfish person on that show. Thank you for putting your life on the line by saving others everytime you go to work. (sher867@hotmail.com) Please e-mail me and let me know how you are doing. I am a 40 year old married woman but I think you are someone I’d love to be friends with. Best wishes from Wisconsin. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and both of your families!!
December 19th, 2007 at 12:28 am
Tila Tequila “A Shot of Love” was a good show. I wanted Dani to win. I think Dani should get her own show. Great Ratings. I felt so bad for Dani, why would Tila want a student that makes no money. Just because he has no experience? Dani is a hard working Firefighter. Makes money and wont cheat Tila. I don’t Tila is Bi. DANI NEEDS HER OWN SHOW!
December 19th, 2007 at 12:32 am
DANI NEEDS HER OWN SHOW. She needs to find a SHOT OF LOVE with someone genuine like her. Love you Dani. Tila good luck with Bobby..Dont’ you call Dani when things don’t go right with both of you. DANI>>DANI>>>DANI>>>DANI>>>DANI>>>DANI>>>>DANI>>>>>
December 19th, 2007 at 12:40 am
Dani,
honey keep your head up. You are one awesome chick. I would definately date you. Tila is crazy to have not picked you. Me and and my best friend have been pulling for you since the VERY FIRST EPISODE! You seem so genuine and I think you are a DAMN SEXY FIRE FIGHTER. Ill make you nervous anytime honey.
December 19th, 2007 at 12:42 am
I think that she should’ve picked dani!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 19th, 2007 at 12:43 am
i just want to know how to get in contact with dani because i wanted her since the beginning of the show….. i think she’s hot!
December 19th, 2007 at 12:45 am
OMG…….I can not belive Tila picked bobby i think that that is the worst thing she could have ever done every one knows that dani should have won i think that dani needs her own show and i will be the first to sign up she is truely an american sweetheart and i loved watching her on tv
December 19th, 2007 at 12:50 am
So im very straight but even I would turn for dani! HOTNESS!!! Tila is stupid!!
December 19th, 2007 at 12:56 am
I am not please with the way the show ended. Personally I know Tila made a big, big mistake in choosing Bobby over Dani. Why would you want to spend one half of your time Tila, taking care of a baby like Bobby.He is immature & insecured. You said it…can Bobby handle Tila being around people who sometimes all over her…and not get jealous..COME ON TILA, BOBBY IS AFTER YOUR BODY AND SEX. Have fun Tila while it last. High five Dani.. you are really the one. You are truly a genuine, sweet & careing person. Dont be sad..remember Tila is bisexual, thats bad news. you are a straight up Lesbian. Lala did the right thing when she walk off the show. It was an insult to her and to true Lesbians too. Your true love is out there waiting. I am a Lesbian, very happy and very much inlove with my Lesbian Fiancee. Dani.. you will definetly find true love soon. Take a shot at visiting New York…you might get lucky. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy fulfilling New Year..love you girl.
December 19th, 2007 at 1:01 am
********PLEASE DO SHOT AT LOVE WITH DANI NEXT***********!! Dani was such a true person…I want to see her happy!!! You would have soooo many viewers if you did a Shot At Love with Dani! I would watch every single eposide!!!!! Come on MTV…make us viewers HAPPY!
December 19th, 2007 at 1:04 am
bottom line : DANI SHOULD HAVE WON.
i mean, damn.
December 19th, 2007 at 1:05 am
Overall I wanted Dani to win, but I wish nothing but the best for Tila and Bobby! Just because I personally would turn lesbian for Dani doesn’t mean the show didn’t complete what it was after. Tila found love right?
December 19th, 2007 at 1:09 am
Dani,
I hope you read this because i mean it from the bottom of myheart, you are so super genuine and you desereve the best. i dont know why tila didnt pick you, shes retarded because you are obviously thebest choice for her by far. you can offer her so much and bobby cant, hes always nervous and uncertain, and with tila you cant do that, you need to know what you want and you do! ugh! it makes me so mad that she didnt choose you because you are so nice, compassionate, sensitive, funny, caring, trustworthy, strong, and amazing! i liked you ftrom the very beginning, you always stuck out in my mind and you are simply one of a kind, STAY STRONG!!!!!
December 19th, 2007 at 1:10 am
I think that you picked the wrong person.. Bobby is not the guy for you, dani is. Dani was honest and was really in love with you
December 19th, 2007 at 1:40 am
Well, i dont know what MTV is going to do, but it comes to the conclusion that Dani needs her own show! Im straight, and all i could say is Dani can get any girl she wants! Who cares about Tila her music is wack! She a cute girl, but everything she said was practically scripted anyway. OH, and MTV next time you have a people competing for a show. PLEASE DONT SHOW THE WINNER IN ADVANCE. Doesnt anyone remmeber the beginning commericals of Tila Tequila. MTV actually show Bobby holding the key but doesnt show his face. So, all you had to do was remember who was wearing the suit at the end. Wow MTV all that signing for privacy of show was waste. Good Luck Dani in the future. And for Tila….. Well all i can say is that Your hair looks really cute short and blonde!!! Oh, and Bobby tell your mom to get out of the past your grown!
December 19th, 2007 at 1:54 am
Dani Dani Dani ……. Oh Dani, Im sorry. I am straight as an arrow but, you are the kind of person I would love to have in my life everyday. I need someone, a friend, some one like you, that can be real, honest, caring, (I could go on and on)anyone that has you in their life are very lucky people. You did deserve her love but perhaps you will find your true love sooner than you think. If you need to get away for some place different… come to Wyoming and relax a bit. May life be kind to you love.
December 19th, 2007 at 1:59 am
MTV, can you PLEASE give Dani her own dating show? She is so lovable. I am so upset that she wasn’t chosen. Seriously. Give her a show and a chance to find someone to share herself with.
December 19th, 2007 at 2:01 am
BTW… Dani does need her own show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 19th, 2007 at 2:16 am
DANii DOES NEED HER OWN SHOW…..OR NO WAiiT EVEN BETTER GET WITH ME=] HOPE 2 GET DANii 2 GET AT ME..=]]]]]]
December 19th, 2007 at 2:20 am
that was just terrible and i never want this show to return in reruns. how could she pick bobby over danny? what a clear indictment of how fake this show was if they want us to believe she was fellin bobby more than danny.
December 19th, 2007 at 2:26 am
I cannnot believe that I watched this entire season and BELIEVED that Tila was actually looking for real love. She let it walk off the stage when she let Dani go. Dani WAS the REAL deal and Tila you f@#$&d up! What a scam to think this show was real. We all know that the decision was selected by the producers because its a man’s world. Hang in there Dani. You deserve better than that plastic fake bull%$#@! Bobby’s a mama’s boy with nothing going him in life and his mom is very fake and judgemental. Have fun with that family Tila. Dani’s family is the real deal. Grandma was great!
December 19th, 2007 at 2:40 am
WHHATTTT THE HECK!!!! DANI sooooooooo should’ve won im sooo mad tils i hate you now……………..GET DANI HER OWN SHOW….she soooo deserves it……TILA I HOPE UR’S AND BOBBY’S KIDDS LOOK LIKE MONKEYS!!!!!!!!!!
December 19th, 2007 at 2:41 am
dude… tila, i stay tuned for your damn show. to watch REAL love. i can’t believe you picked that immature virgin boy. he doesn’t even know what a #%?% looks like until he looks at himself in the mirror. anyway, dani, you damn soldier, you deserve better anyway, and there’s ALWAYS going to be someone better than tila :]
December 19th, 2007 at 2:44 am
Dani is the first non-femme female I’ve been attracted to. . . Please bring her back, she deserves her own show!
December 19th, 2007 at 2:46 am
I LOVE DANI!!!!!!! DANI SO SHOULD HAVE WON! DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI DANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 19th, 2007 at 2:55 am
I was so sad to see Dani go but happy Bobby was picked for a shot at love. This season of Shot at Love was so much better than the first shot at love with long hair boy who always had some kind of hat-bennie-bandana on his head, this cast was more so much more cool with each other and not just out to cause drama! Even though the cat fight broke out and that crazy cowboy– hill billy who hurt his own foot gave the show some spice, lol. Great Show MTV! Can’t wait to see the next…Shot at Love!
December 19th, 2007 at 3:20 am
Only reason I ever watched this show was to see Dani, in hopes that she would win. Give Dani her own show! It would be a first, no more playing around with Dani’s heart. Please us true lesbian get so sick of “bi” girls taking our hearts for a test drive. It really sucks. Shot at love “With Dani Campbell” now thats a show I would watch for sure!
December 19th, 2007 at 3:20 am
I really got addicted to this show. I am a straight divorced gal,but let me say, I’d love to get to be friends with Danni, and would love to know how to contact her. She is so real and honest, and she has such a pleasing wholesome face. I have very few girl friens, cause in the single world at the upper age group of 40’s to 50′ the gal’s are so tacky and desperate for a man. Sure I’m looking for a great guy, but darn I’d probably be happy with a fun loving strong friend like Dani. I know a nice little Ski Patrol guy up at Heavenly Resort, Tahoe. and I have learned to respect those firefighters so, and to me Dani is a prime example of an unselfish, sincere person who is out to help other’s.
December 19th, 2007 at 3:21 am
WTF mtv you deleted my comment, how the f@#$ is dani ever going to see that i am in freaken love with her!!!!!! GIVE DANI HER OWN SHOW…Something like start a fire of love with dani…shes a firefighter that is soo freaken hott
December 19th, 2007 at 4:21 am
I believe that Tila Tequila TOTALLY exploited lesbians! Most would concur that she was probably not gay to begin with; it just makes for good T.V. I suckered to the show like many…give all the brownie points to the clever writers of the show…not to the wanna-be lesbian! Boo! Dani Campbell you ROCK!
December 19th, 2007 at 4:51 am
i would do whatever it takes to make that girl happy…..and i mean dani…. how hard must it be to put your heart out there as much as she did. show or no show the girl deserves someone with as much of a heart and honesty and courage as she gave and has. in case you read this, i know we see this a lot later than youve experienced it, but you deserve everything you hope and know you deserve and so much more. you are honestly everything anyone could ever ask for. i’ve always been open minded but never thought i could ever write something like this. If i’m ever with a girl, i could only hope that she would have as much heart and modesty as you. youll probably never read this but if you do, throw a couple words down in an e-mail…it would mean a lot
December 19th, 2007 at 5:20 am
DAM TILA I WATCHED YOUR SHOW EVERY TIME IT CAME ON AND I FEELS THOUGH YOU WAS MAKING ME WATCH IT FOR NOTHING BECAUSE THE PERSON THAT I THOUGHT WAS RIGHT FOR YOU …YOU DIDN’T EVEN CHOOSE HER…YOU HAD MY BOO STANDING THERE LOOKING STUPID…..THEN YOU WANTED TO CHASE HER…WHY CHASE HER AND YOU COULD HAVE HAD HER…THATS SO CRAZY …WHEN YOU DIDN’T CALL MY BOO DANNI AND YOU CALLED BOBBY…..I WANTED TO CRY……BECAUSE YOU WAITED UNTIL MY BOO OPENED UP TO YOU AND YOU BROKE HER HEART…..BUT DANNI IM NOT GAY AND I STILL WILL PUT YOUR BROKEN HEART BACK TOGETHER….CAUSE I LOVE YOU AND DON’T EVEN KNOW YOU BUT I KNOW YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON……….I WOULD LOVE TO BE YOUR FRIEND SO IF YOU EVER READ THIS MESSAGE…HOLLA AT ME BOO….DANNI YOUR THE BEST DONT EVER FORGET THAT…
December 19th, 2007 at 6:00 am
MTV GIVE DANI HER OWN SHOW!! “A shot at love with Tila Tequila” Was supposed to be this ground breaking idea because Tila ’says’ she’s bisexual. Take it the next step and really be ground breaking. Give Dani her own show to get her shot at love. I’ve been reading the message boards and I know you would have a huge turn out for auditions. We Want a Shot At Love With Dani!!
December 19th, 2007 at 6:16 am
what was the purpose of telling the whole world you are bi when at the end you stood with a guy…. i think dani should have been good for her.

December 19th, 2007 at 8:29 am
I’m joining the general outcry to say - DANI NEEDS A SHOT AT LOVE! Or something, she’s a great girl and she has a charisma and authenticity that frankly Tila lacked. I watched every week for Dani and I would glad watch her every week again.
MTV GIVE DANI HER OWN SHOW!
December 19th, 2007 at 9:18 am
I see you have the Disney movie The absent minded professor in the colorized version as well as the B&W.My question was the sequeal Son of Flubber ever colorized?
December 19th, 2007 at 9:53 am
I think Dani deserves her on shot of love,give her, her own tv shot at love
December 19th, 2007 at 9:59 am
I THINK THAT DANI DESERVES TO WIN BECAUSE SHE IS THE PERFECT WOMAN FOR TILA
December 19th, 2007 at 10:00 am
Give Dani her own show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are so many of us out here who are disappointed that Dani wasn’t the one picked. We can’t get enough of Dani. Just look on the iamonmtv site…………she has BY FAR more fans than anyone else………you’ve gotta be crazy NOT to give her her own show……….WE WANT MORE DANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE HER HER OWN SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE DANI!!!!!!!!!
December 19th, 2007 at 10:27 am

December 19th, 2007 at 10:27 am
Dani neeeds her own show. She’s the reason to watch and she’s better than tila will ever be!!!
December 19th, 2007 at 11:21 am
So happy for Tila and Bobby! They both deserve the best which is each other. MTV, give Dani a another shot at love..she should have her own show to find someone she can pick and love..she has a fan base already. Perfect for your ratings. MTV, what are you waiting for???
December 19th, 2007 at 11:49 am
