When Adam Curry promised the launch of the long expected Podshow+, meaning the relaunch of his company’s website Podshow with a completely new feature set, for July 4th (Independence Day in the US), he was definitely not expecting his mother’s death just a day before - and hey, good things need their time.
The reason I write this is because what Scoble complains about - the use of flash on podshow.com - is in fact a side effect of the relaunch, AND what I think the best “coming soon” message ever written. What they are doing is showing little flash movies while they are getting the website straigt - with Adam looking if the website is up yet:
… waving at the people out there:
(both pictures taken from the website http://music.podshow.com/PDNswitch/)
… but there are clips from his staff in there, too - they seem to rotate.
I think this is a great thing to do. It is entertaining, it shows the user that they are currently working on it and that they don’t take themselves too serious. Love it!
For all who can’t wait to see what it will look like, go here.
