I’ve been laying a bit low of late, but the Sift marches on - and other people have been very busy during the past few months. @lucky760 has been working with our best website friends forever, Neatorama, to build a new online shop for VideoSift.

In fact, Lucky has built the online store for both Neatorama and VideoSift and we’ll be pooling some of our merchandise to make it a good shopping experience for the two communities. We’ll also have our own unique items like the VideoSift tee (now in black, gray, and many other colors!) and designs from TeeVirus.

I should mention something about TeeVirus, our tee shop that Lucky and I started independently. We’ve learned a lot doing this on our own - but we’ve decided to fold it into the new VideoSift Shop. Many of the same designs will be available in the new shop - but we’ll be wrapping up TeeVirus as an independent business at the end of the year.

Lastly, we’ve been hearing what you’re saying about the layers of social media widgets and gew-gaws that have been incrementally layered over the user interface of VideoSift. Today, we’re stripping a lot of that off and providing what will hopefully be a cleaner experience for everyone.
