Charity: Water Birthday Results!
You all know I’m a superfan of Charity: Water.
So this year, just like last year, I ‘gave up my birthday’ to raise money for their cause and I am so, so excited and grateful that we already hit my goal and have so far raised $1278 for Charity: Water.
What’s awesome is that 100% of that money will go to providing clean drinking water for people who need it. 63 people to be exact… how f***ing cool is that?!
To everyone who donated… You. Are. Awesome. THANK YOU. To those who haven’t (yet!), there’s still time. ;)

P.S. - Today is WORLD WATER DAY. So step-up and pledge your next birthday!
hilarious that @garyvee straight up calls @fakegrimlock a “dick”! “Gary Vaynerchuk meets FAKEGRIMLOCK” on http://shel.tv/wtSHal via onshelby
Either Tracx sucks at math or #projectgoats was a total success. Regardless, I’m so psyched about being included next to CNN, Nike, Amex, Google…!

We’ve set them loose! The Project G.O.A.T.S. interviews, that is. See how people like Gary Vaynerchuk, Ben Huh, Geoff Livingston, and “The Davids” react when they come face-to-face with a robot dinosaur…

How a Mysterious Robot Dinosaur Won Over Tech’s Top Influencers
When I heard FAKEGRIMLOCK say this in person the other day, I, too, was truly inspired. I love it. So much fun working with him for Project G.O.A.T.S.
Just a teaser…we’ve got lots of photos from SXSW 2012 coming soon! Goats, FAKEGRIMLOCK, and more! But you don’t have to wait—check out what we’ve uploaded to our Facebook page so far.

Feature Week: Search the Videoverse
Just when you think Lauren couldn’t get any more excited about new Shelby features, she announces the Videoverse with an epic, intergalactic graphic… I love it.
I also love being able to search for videos from within Shelby. Right now it’s just for YouTube (can’t wait for Vimeo support), but let’s face it… YouTube’s kind of a big deal.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this edition of “Feature Week” here at Shelby and more importantly, I hope you enjoy Shelby as your home for video. Hit us up with feedback anytime.
Man has always had a need for speed, longed to discover that which is unimaginable, and desired to reach into the deepest regions of the Videoverse. Now, all that which was unthinkable has been realized.
Now, you can
(Say it to yourself in a booming voice. Pretty cool, huh?)
Shelby was already incredible when she pulled in videos from your social networks, but now all of YouTube is yours for the taking. (Additional platforms will be integrated soon!) Type any search into the Videoverse bar, and Shelby will immediately find all relevant results from your queues, and stack them on top of search results from YouTube. If you begin watching an item from the Videoverse, it will be jumped into your Timeline queue, and from there you can favorite a video, save it for later, or share.
>OK. You’re making API calls to YouTube. So what?
So what?! So, THE VIDEOVERSE. You can find and watch millions of videos without having to click around to different websites or social networks. Shelby (like a crazy beautiful Pokémon) has evolved into a video fortress. DO YOU GET HOW AWESOME THIS IS? You can watch and save all your favorite videos in one place!
>Holy macaroni! Mind=blown!
I know, right?! You’re welcome. You’re so so welcome.
>What now?
Go exploring. And try not to hurt yourself. There’s a lot of awesome waiting for you.
Win an Apple TV!
I highly recommend hooking up an Apple TV and kicking back on a Sunday morning with your Shelby ‘watch later’ queue (courtesy of our Video Radar extension). Best way to make a lean-forward web experience as lean-back as it gets…
p.s. - If you haven’t noticed, it’s “Feature Week” here at Shelby.tv and we’ve been dropping new features like, woah. They work great on their own and they fit together nicely. Check out Shelby.tv/blog if you missed the others so far…
Do you want to win an Apple TV? Of course you do! It’s an Apple TV!
We’ve finally released TouchPlay, a first-of-its-kind gesture remote that takes AirPlay mirroring to a whole new level. We all agree with our brilliant iOS developer Mark, ”it seems like this is the way the world should work. I never want to hook up my laptop to my TV via an HDMI cable again.” TouchPlay means no more clicking around on a computer, just relaxing on your couch and watching video the way it was meant to be watched: on the big screen.
We think TouchPlay is one step towards the future of TV, and we want everyone to experience it in all its glory, which is why we’re giving away 5 Apple TVs. What’s the catch? You have to prove you want it.
Write a blog post about why you’re excited about TouchPlay and what you think the future of TV/video will look like. Drop the link in our ask box. Authors of the 5 best posts will win!
Happy blogging. xx
