Anthrocon 2010 commercial

[giza]

So the user Jalterixnar on the Anthrocon forums was nice enough to create a commercial for Anthrocon 2010 and post it on YouTube:

That is amazingly cool, and the tool used to create it was at http://www.youtube.com/searchstories. I've been playing with it on my own, and it's quite neat, as it allows different kinds of searches to be performed, as well as choosing different music.

I'm unclear whether this was just a "toy" that Google created, or whether they plan on using it to revolutionize the advertising industry, but it certainly is a great step in that direction.

That was an ad for Google, not Anthrocon.

Yeah, this isn't some advertising revolution. This is based on Google's first TV commercial (which was AWESOME), and lets you create your own version of that.

Google had a TV commercial? Seriously, I did not know that.

Ten bucks says the next search string would have been "define: slippery slope"

Commercial aside, the results show how fast the fandom has grown.

Back in 2003 when I discovered the fandom there were (my guess) only a few hundred websites that were about it. Most of the popular websites in the fandom now like Wikifur, Fur Affinity and video streaming sites such as YouTube didn't exist either.
