So, well, gee, we're Bopsta now huh? Fair dinkum!

A few of us are happy, a few of us are sad, a few of us are just plain confused. What's important though is that we're ALL Bopstas! We've had to make some pretty monumental changes over the past few days and in the transition/rebranding of any site, that's to be expected. I thought I'd try to help you along the path to Bopsta-dom with a couple of hints.

1. Time to update your browser bookmarks.
   Ditch googleidol.com, it's bopsta.com now. Think of this as spring cleaning, because it's 4 letters shorter and you'll never mistake it for a search engine again!
2. While you're at it, update you links.
   If you have your own personal website/blog/journal/myspace or any other online presence, please take a few minutes to update your links from googleidol.com to bopsta.com. This will not only get your site up to date, it will also help Bopsta to be 'seen' by more people.
3. And last of all, tell the world what's happened to us and why we're now Bopsta.
   (If you're not sure, click here.) If you've got your own blog/site, take a minute to write about the pressure that Fremantle Media have put on us and why your favourite site has been forced to change its name. I'm personally not happy about it, but I'm only one man. Why not voice your own opinion? The more people who read it, the more people will come to Bopsta and the more people will watch your videos! Everybody wins!! Except Fremantle Media, hopefully :)

So, life after Gidol goes on at Bopsta. We will remain the world's very best online video competition site, where the community supports the artists, and the best performance wins!

Your Captain Bopsta,

Ben Petro
