The Best Christmas Gift - From a Driver in Sri Lanka
By leelefever on December 25, 2008 - 12:32pm
On Christmas Eve of 2004, Sachi and I made a decision. We decided that, in one year, we would depart on a year long trip. We reserved a web site address that night: www.theworldisnotflat.com (TwinF). In January of 2006 we departed, dedicated to blogging the whole trip.

Yay! I just noticed that we've reached a statistical milestone. For the first time, a video we produced "Google Docs in Plain English" has reached the 1 million view mark on You Tube. This is our first 7 figure view count on You Tube, or any single site (other Common Craft videos have over 1m views across multiple hosts).

Russian "Gmail Art" Video - Life Sized Paperworks

From the description on the video page, this is:
A video that Saatchi Moscow created and produced for Google to attract more Russian people on GMail.
Visually, it's a bit like our videos, but in a giant format. Instead of pieces of paper, they are using giant pieces of pre-printed fabric. The video is quite artful and well done. Isn't it funny too, that it's by Saatchi and Saatchi instead of Lee and Sachi?

Help Translate the Google Docs Video on DotSUB
By leelefever on September 21, 2007 - 4:55pm
We've been friends and fans of dotSUB since we first started making video for The Common Craft Show. They make it easy for videos to be translated into multiple languages via subtitles.
The RSS in Plain English video has been translated into 20+ languages on dotSUB. A truly useful and innovative service.
I've gotten permission from the Google Docs team to share the Google Docs video on dotSUB so it's acessible for the hearing impaired and our non-English speaking friends.

Plenty of Fish and Dating Site Disruption
By leelefever on June 11, 2007 - 10:03pm
If you haven't heard about Markus Frind and his dating site at plentyoffish.com, you will.
Markus is singlehandedly disrupting the dating site industry by offering a free alternative to pay-to-play sites like match.com. What makes his story so interesting is that he is the site's only employee - he runs the whole site from his Vancouver, Canada apartment and makes millions of dollars from Google ad revenue.
Here are some of the basic facts from a recent Wall Street Journal story (via: online personal watch):
