Awesome New Front Page

That is great!! I love the youtube video. However, Southern America is not the name of the continent, and Alexanders Empire, should have an apostrophe. Fix those two typos, and you will have a wonderful first impression.

I see a vaguely familiar image repeated a few times in that video. I'm just sayin'.

The usage of the video itself is super good. Are we sure that Orff's work is free to use? I know he's been dead for 100+ years, but I think its a fair question.

Generally speaking, when the owner of such a piece of work has been dead for so many years (not sure of the exact number) it becomes public domain. It is always worth looking into thou to be on the save side.

I love the new video, it definetly give a better impression than the classic image.

The problem lies in the recording. The orchestra/choir has ownership of the recording.

True, I think it looks better, but I do think it could still use a lot of work. I doubt you would have stamped it yet if it were a map gims

I like it ... it's pretty cool

To those who don't know, I'd like to add that the video is made by karelpietertje for the 100 map competition. He made a great work on it and you should everybody congratulate him so he would get the proper attention and respect for the video. Hopefully lack will also give you the proper recognition.

Well done, karelpietertje!

I seem to have problems with firefox loading the video. Just a white space, no video. Anything going on there? I'm using the latest Firefox browser with the latest flash plugin installed.

(edit) Just released it's directly linked to the youtube video - which my company has blocked youtube. Lack you should host this on blip.tv - it's better quality than youtube anyway.

I'm not shy on playing critic, but that little piece of advertising is phenomenal!

You should have the web address in it at the end if you have it on YouTube to generate traffic.

Bravo!
