They should have given that $50 million to the fishermen whose livelihoods have been lost and tweeted about it.” More to come

A year later we produced a DVD based on the popularity of the website and sold it worldwide.  Foundations is available through the Beatbox.Tv Store.

Soon after its launch, the site took off after receiving a Adobe (Formerly Macromedia) Site of the Day on September 26, 2003 for innovative use of Flash video.  Beatbox.Tv recieved much more press subsequently and the DVD was very well recieved.  Visit the Beatbox.Tv Press section to learn and see more.

Beatbox.Tv was also the inspiration for the RG/A produced Verizon Beatbox Mixer – Beatbox.Tv’s own is one of five featured beatboxers including Rahazel – the godfather of noise.

I see this as a clear winner for website landing pages, but there are definitely drawbacks… the number 1 being: SEO.  Time to test drive
