Facebook Home launch site – big video

Interesting to see how Facebook has promoted the launch of “Home” — not just big type + photos, now they’re using big video as their hero image. Wow. 10MB file size for the video alone, but delivered excellently without delay via the Facebook CDN.

Makes sense I guess, since most “apps” these says sell via a prominent “demo” video front and centre — these things are easier to understand when you see them being used.

Why can’t our course pages look like this? 😉 Or at least “about” — imagine what it’d be like if we had a loop of the “Curtin experience” in the big video at the top?
