Friday Moment of Zen
A more-or-less weekly video dose of why you started RC soaring in the first place.
There is a massive amount of video being uploaded to the internet every minute of every day. Purely in fulfilment of our (ahem!) professional responsibilities we watch a lot of RC soaring videos. As one might expect, they do vary in quality quite a bit. But every once in a while one really catches our eye.
A while back we worked with the creator of one of these more amazing videos to put a clip on our Twitter feed. When we chatted about how to frame that exactly, somebody suggested “oh, it’s like that Moment of Zen thing that John Stewart started on The Daily Show”. And it was a Friday. Thus was born our new Twitter-only feature entitled, predictably, the Friday Moment of Zen (FMoZ). Not a lot of science there, we have to admit.
The concept is pretty simple: take a few seconds — maybe a minute — of the full video and put it on the RCSD Twitter feed. Then provide a link to the full video and also where you can find more FMoZ. That’s it. Seriously, that’s really it. Here are some recent examples (click title in caption for full video):
So where do you find all this curated goodness? We have a filter of the RCSD Twitter feed setup so you get just our FMoZ tweets. You’ll want to bookmark that. You don’t even need to sign up for Twitter to do that. However, what if you don’t want to miss a single FMoZ in the future?
That’s easy: just follow us on Twitter by clicking just over there on the left (or just below) and it will take you right there. Then click the Follow button. That’s all there is to it.
We should also say that FMoZ isn’t the only reason you’ll want to add our Twitter feed to your regular intake of RC Soaring Digest. We feature lots of stuff over there which is only available on our Twitter. So unless you’re untroubled by FOMO (fear of missing out), getting to know our feed is something you’ll definitely want to do. And, of course, like all the other great RC Soaring Digest distribution channels, FMoZ and/or following us on Twitter is absolutely free.
We look forward to seeing you there!
