Adopt a Feature: Round #1
Tuesday, 24 March 2009
Recently we launched
a programme called Adopt a Feature,
in which we asked you to give certain features some TLC by making videos explaining how they work. Just over two dozen of you took us up on it, with the majority choosing to talk about
AudioSwap
and
Insight
. We're collecting these clips on the
adoptafeature
channel, and as you can see they're a mixture of straightforward instruction and comedy -- there's even some bile, a fake corpse, more than a few bleeps, and a bit of innuendo... In other words, you are indeed taking these features and making them your own, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Here are some highlights so far:
*
SteveDutzy
lets you in on
a fun (if perverse) game
he plays with Insight
*
BelgianDann
employs annotations
(and the undead!)
to promote AudioSwap
*
Petercoffin
broadcasts from space
to explain how Insight can contribute to inspiration, monetisation and, um, you'll see
*
Thecomputernerd01
stops talking about batteries, GameBoy, his mum's shades, his new knit hat, and an ace of hearts card long enough to
explain how the country/language pulldown menus work
* The dapper
Bobby SoFamous
shows how AudioSwap can
mask a foul mouth
(and, of course, make you a better YouTube participant)
*
BeanerLaRue
's mother, Lola, makes her third cameo to
impress the kids with her knowledge of AudioSwap
While these videos continue to work their magic, and as new ones are added, we'll continue to watch how usage of these features evolves with your adoptafeature uploads and we'll report back on any significant shifts. So take a look at what's been created so far and consider this an open call to produce something even better, particularly for some of the features that didn't get as much love this round:
Country and Language Options
,
Playlists
,
QuickCapture
, and
Subscriptions
. (If you feel compelled to make a video about a feature not on the list, go for it -- just include "adoptafeature" in the tags. We might use it in a future installment.)
Anyway, get those cameras rolling. We want to have a lot more to talk about come March 31, the next adoptafeature update.
Best,
