HUMTALK - March

It's been a while so we thought we'd take this opportunity
to update the HUMTOO community on what's happening on HUMTOO. We've taken on
board our member’s suggestions and we've been busily working on upgrading the
site. You'll notice a range of new features on the site, and we've a load more
in store - including upgrading the quality of video on the site and also
improving the messaging system (both coming very soon).

You’ll notice that you can now upload tracks to your profile
and then attach them to a project. You will find an upload track button on your
profile and on every project you will now see a pull-down list of your
available tracks from which you can attach up to 2 tracks at any time to a
project.

All of your attached tracks now feature a small "x"
in the top right corner for removing them from a project. You can add+remove
tracks right up to close of the project. The tracks that are there on close are
locked there until the content creator makes a decision. All tracks that don't
win are then released back to you. If your tracks are unsuccessful, you can now
easily attach them to another project.

You can now also mark each of your tracks differently by
giving them individual graphics! Speaking of graphics, we’ve been getting
creative with the way the site looks and have given it a major overhaul, check
it out!.

We've also implemented a new system of 'Humming' tracks,
it's a positive vote-style rating system for music on HUMTOO. Every 24hrs,
every member of HUMTOO gets one HUM which they can use to signal their
appreciation of a track. Nobody can HUM their own tracks, and there are no
negative votes.

To HUM a track simply press the HUM button on the player for
that track. Tracks with more HUMs go to the top of projects, and so will get
more visibility. So next time you hear a great track on the site, do the
community a favour and HUM it. If you’ve any queries on these, check out the
new how it works section on the site.....

This how it works will be updated regularly over the coming
weeks as new features are added to the site - so check in when new stuff
appears on the site for a full explanation.....

Also online in the new how it works section is the HUMTOO
Template Sync Licence. We've had our lawyers draw up a sync license template
for you all to use when you win projects. We hope it helps!....

HUMFEST continues. There are currently 3 projects on the
site in the running (Heads Up, The Barman and Enfant) and plenty more short
films looking for music are on their way. For more information about HUMFEST we’ve
created a short explainer video -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySaXUeF69mA


The Smart AV guys have been so impressed with the quality of
music for their project, that they can't make up their mind. This is truly a
testament to how talented you guys are. The quality of music submitted to that
project was excellent. Well done everyone!!! The deadlock will be resolved
shortly.

As always, if you're keen to hear about new projects when
they are uploaded to HUMTOO, send an email to newstuff@humtoo.com with
ADD ME in the subject line.

Thanks everyone and if you've any suggestions for the site
message Mike - mike.humtoo.com

Keep up the great work!


Cheers,
