Welcome New York Times Readers

We'd like to extend a warm welcome those of you who found us through the recent article in the New York Times. Saul Hansell wrote a fine article but unfortunately mentioned only our previous series, "Oceans of Mystery", and missed mentioning our current series for History Television Canada and National Geographic Channel International, "The Sea Hunters". Nevertheless, welcome to you all.

Yes, it is true, we will be working with "Brightcove", an exciting new company delivering video on the Internet to offer our visitors some really great new video content and options. We have been under a non-disclosure agreement with them as we worked through the Beta phase but now that it has been announced we're happy to finally be able to talk about it. You'll start seeing the changes here in the coming days and weeks as we make the switch over to their system.

Many of you have been writing and asking about the progress of our members area. Our apologies for not being able to talk much about it, but rest assured we've been very busy behind the scenes putting things in place, (such as our work with Brightcove in making available to members exclusive footage from our extensive library.) There will be much more about this in the VERY near future. It's an ambitious and exciting vision that John Davis has. At the heart of it is creating a democratic community of members directly involved in choosing, researching and eventually diving on historic shipwrecks. We can bring a certain amount of expertise to the table, but it is the members themselves, working together as peers, who will really make it all happen. If that sounds interesting to you drop us a line to let us know you are out there. (To the hundreds who have already contacted us, the answer you are looking for is "this month".)

To our Canadian friends, have a great Thanksgiving weekend. To the rest of you, have a great weekend and we hope you spend at least some of it exploring the interactive map and catching up on previous Live Dives using the navigation over to the right hand side of the page.
