| dragonflyROAR | my meanderings through a digital life |
For the first time, I am being compelled to censor my personal beliefs. On my own blog. This bums me out. It may be the “right” thing to do politically — but I am having a really hard time thinking it’s ok for me personally.
In honor of that:
I came across this post on American Copywriter and it’s so in line with a conversation I’ve been having with my sister. A great TED video – via a funny delivery guy: “Wait, what’s that you say? I don’t have to get excited about finally getting client approval on work that they limited and I know to be mediocre? Um, sweet.”
The new site emphasizes community + video – and is simply gorgeous. More and more sites are going to feature video like this – front and center.
According to Creativity:
The Flash-based destination seeks to provide viewers with a deeper level of engagement with its shows: “The site features high quality streaming video, including clips and trailers that can be viewed in full screen resolution, an enhanced, easy-to-access schedule that includes HBO HD and HBO On Demand programming and more sophisticated community and sharing capabilities. Viewers also get their own personal dashboard by which they can bookmark clips, discussions and get the heads up on new content they might be interested in.”
Another great tweet from Juliet:
The proliferation of texting to help Haiti is fantastic. Here we have a definite mobilization of networks – from Twitter, to Facebook, to Newspapers – this is the way it’s going to be done from now on.
“To make a $10 donation to the American Red Cross from any Verizon Wireless or AT&T phone, text 90999 with the word “HAITI”.”
