Having the camera up one day a week for four hours is a great way to cause interest to cease.  I didn't even remember until the last two hours, and never saw the baby once, and doubt I will remember at all next week.


 

I set it up as a repeating entry on the calendar on my phone. So it will remind me. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Yes, i agree that they figured out the perfect way to kill the goose that laid the golden egg!  And did you notice that BabiesRUs is no longer a sponsor on the livestream?  They are including their own logo.  


 

@Shawnie  I didn'tnotice that, but I guess it is business politics or something of the sort.

@mousiegirl  I'd read that Toys я Us sponsored the live stream only for five days after the baby's birth.  There must not be a sponsor now.

@ValuSkr  Babies R Us took over, because their logo was on and if they weren't sponsoring, I don't think the name would have been on the live feed camera, but who knows.  The Toys R Us was on the entire time until the baby was born.

@mousiegirl  I think Toys я Us and Babies я Us are the same company / same sponsor?

ToysRus logo was on the Giraffe Cam live stream until the baby was born (that relationship i believe started about three weeks before the baby was born). when the live stream advertising was changed to BabiesRUs.  They are sister companies.  They paid big bucks for the live stream advertising.  But they were not advertising on last night's live stream.  Hope that helps.

@ValuSkr  Yes, so the company must have been sponsoring until the camera came down.
