This last week saw the re-debut of Minivid.  As the creativity slowly starts rolling in,  Minivid would like to highlight the past week’s best

We moved.  Again.  This time we find ourselves in the Mission area of San Francisco.  The move was a little more comfortable than the last, probably more long term than Palo Alto, and thankfully did not involve any hotel stays.  We even have more than one room for our  “office space” and a futon in the kitchen to boot!  You can see Chris and Laurence working hard in our new “office space” below.   It’s quite spacious no?

But here at Fuzzwich,  just changing our location wasn’t enough.

We decided to push out a new fuzzwich.com site.  Why change the site, yet again? Well, to be honest, because we have learned so much.  On an regular basis, we looked at our site and commented we could do better.  So we did.  The new site has Fuzzwich firsts, such as navigation.  And consistency. And our favorite, expandibility. Those “features” are only partially listed in jest, as our previous sites have lacked all three.  It has been suprisingly difficult to design a site stylistically unique, as Fuzzwich should be, yet capable of extension as Fuzzwich evolves.    We believe this site has great potential to really grow with Fuzzwich rather than become an obstacle to adding new products and features.

Oh and Minivid was left behind.  You might have noticed the new and improved Minivid, which now runs on and benefits from a brand new Fuzzwich animation platform.  It boasts a new set of completely awesome characters and music, a much larger animation area, and a more clean and polished interface. We will be migrating over all the old user accounts and content in the near future. Check out the sweet new widescreen and characters!

If all these changes weren’t enough, we have also had a personnel change.  Habit is incredibly happy to welcome Chris Patton to the team as our first non-founding member.  Chris has taken the leap from being one of our largest supporters from the “early days of Fuzzwich ” (in quotes because I don’t think we can quite yet claim a time of early days) to working right next to me on a daily basis.  Chris brings a influx of incredible ideas and will be focusing on developing the community and business.  Feel free to give him a welcome call at 555-555-8091.   He’ll appreciate it.  I promise.

Till next time,  animate.
