      <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/rww_slap.jpg" />Earlier today Corvida set <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/enjoy_12_seconds_of_fun_with_12secondstv_500_invites.php">a difficult challenge</a> for RWW readers, based on a new service called <a href="http://12seconds.tv/">12Seconds.tv</a>. The challenge is to say "ReadWriteWeb" 5 times really fast in 12 seconds or less. Now, it's well known that the name 'ReadWriteWeb' is a tongue twister - even I have trouble pronouncing it at times, and I created the name! Check out some of the entrants so far, very funny...</p>]]>

<p>MacTyler almost gets there, so close! At the end he slaps himself in the face (that's what the screenshot above is). This was his second attempt, his first is <a href="http://12seconds.tv/channel/MacTyler/4492">here</a>.</p>

<p><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://12seconds.tv/players/remotePlayer.swf" width="430" height="360" ><param name="movie" value="http://12seconds.tv/players/remotePlayer.swf" /><param name="FlashVars" value="vid=4493"/></object><br><a href="http://12seconds.tv/channel/MacTyler/4493">Read Write Web Challenge 2</a> on <a href="http://12seconds.tv">12seconds.tv</a></p>

<p>A bearded reader called <em>beach</em> makes a hash of it.</p>

<p><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://12seconds.tv/players/remotePlayer.swf" width="430" height="360" ><param name="movie" value="http://12seconds.tv/players/remotePlayer.swf" /><param name="FlashVars" value="vid=4393"/></object><br><a href="http://12seconds.tv/channel/beach/4393">read write web challenge (5x fast)</a> on <a href="http://12seconds.tv">12seconds.tv</a></p>

<p>To add your entry, you can either <a href="http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB2283KQUWHZY">click here for an invite to 12seconds.tv</a> or use <a href="http://seesmic.com/">Seesmic</a>. We have 500 invites for RWW readers to 12seconds.tv. Unfortunately though, the way the private beta invites are being given out isn't ideal. You have to fill in a brief survey and the invites are emailed out to you. But I did that and I haven't gotten mine yet! So if you'd like to participate and you don't get your invite soon, head over to Seesmic and upload your video there. </p>

<p>Whichever method you use, add the link in the comments below and we'll post the best ones!</p>

<p>Here's mine, via Seesmic:</p>

<p><span style="padding:0px; margin:0px; display:block"><object width="435" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://seesmic.com/embeds/wrapper.swf"/><param name="bgcolor" value="#666666"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="flashVars" value="video=R0TG5Ud2PQ&amp;version=threadedplayer"/><embed src="http://seesmic.com/embeds/wrapper.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashVars="video=R0TG5Ud2PQ&amp;version=threadedplayer" allowFullScreen="true" bgcolor="#666666" allowScriptAccess="always" width="435" height="355"/></object></span><span style="display:block; width:435px; margin:0px; padding:0px;background:url(http://seesmic.com/images/seesmichtml.gif) left top repeat-x"><a href="http://seesmic.com" target="_blank"><img width="100%" height="29" style="border:none" src="http://seesmic.com/images/spacer.gif" border="0" /></a></span></p>

<p>Even after all these years of practice at saying ReadWriteWeb... but it was late on a Friday night and after a couple of beers ;-)</p>

<p><b>UPDATE:</b> A few more entrants:</p>

<p>Seesmic founder Loïc Le Meur</p>

<p><span style="padding:0px; margin:0px; display:block"><object width="435" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://seesmic.com/embeds/wrapper.swf"/><param name="bgcolor" value="#666666"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="flashVars" value="video=GLG4YXkxdN&amp;version=threadedplayer"/><embed src="http://seesmic.com/embeds/wrapper.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashVars="video=GLG4YXkxdN&amp;version=threadedplayer" allowFullScreen="true" bgcolor="#666666" allowScriptAccess="always" width="435" height="355"/></object></span><span style="display:block; width:435px; margin:0px; padding:0px;background:url(http://seesmic.com/images/seesmichtml.gif) left top repeat-x"><a href="http://seesmic.com" target="_blank"><img width="100%" height="29" style="border:none" src="http://seesmic.com/images/spacer.gif" border="0" /></a></span></p>
