This week, we launched a project that we’re all extremely excited to finally show the world. Although we’ve only been working on it for six months, it’s been a concept that has existed in the minds and dreams of the Sixthman team for far longer than that. I’m talking about Sixthman TV.
Andy jokingly told me earlier this week after the the project launch that the domain (sixthman.tv) was purchased before I was born. I’m sure that was a slight exaggeration, but I’m sure the idea of a Sixthman on-demand video service has been bouncing around for years and years and now it’s finally become a reality; I’m just glad to be a part of the team that gets to bring it to life.
Every week, we’ll be adding new content to Sixthman TV: exclusive interviews with Sixthman artists, live performances from some of our cruises, and even the occasional quirky video from artists or Sixthman employees showing you more of our world.
We’ve partnered with Endavo, a new and upcoming video software development company that is really excited to help us bring great Sixthman content to as many people as possible. Got to love the internet!
Here’s an example of one of the videos that’s on the site now, from our friends Gaelic Storm.
Our second big announcement of the week involved our new message boards over at sixthman.net/community. Essentially, this will be the central hub for the communities for all of our cruises. Rather than having separate message boards with separate logins and disjointed groups, we wanted to bring everybody together. Although our cruises have a different music theme, we’ve realized that our guests have a lot more in common than we initially realized; everybody is passionate for music, everybody likes to get to know new people, and everybody is really a kid at heart.
Check out the new boards, set up an account, and start chatting with other Sixthman community members!
So, now that the new message boards are launched, a blog redesign is in the works, Sixthman TV is officially ‘broadcasting,’ and the Sixthman Podcast is on its weekly schedule, I’m trying to figure out what the next big thing should be.
Any suggestions?
