Why do you love Twitter?

Darren over at ProBlogger posted a great video on YouTube, which of course I found out about via Twitter. In this video he has compiled the answer to the question he posed - “Why do you love Twitter?”.

The result is a very enlightening and entertaining view of Twitter from ProBlogger’s followers.

Here is Darren’s video:

So now I ask you the same question, Why do YOU love Twitter?

Sharkwater now out on BluRay

The documentary Sharkwater is now out on BluRay. Filmed in visually stunning, high definition video, Sharkwater takes you into the most shark rich waters of the world, exposing the exploitation and corruption surrounding the world’s shark populations in the marine reserves of Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.

I haven’t seen the final retail version, but the animations I saw being produced for the menus and the menus themselves are absolutely stunning! I think Alex Pero (our DVD guru) definitely has showcased the new dynamic features BluRay has to offer in the authoring process.

If you get a chance to check it out I hope you’ll let me know!

Disclosure - my employer creativePOST handled the authoring of the Sharkwater BluRay disc, to our knowledge it is the first BluRay disc which has been authored in Canada for the retail market.
