A Little Side Trip into the Xtranormal

I received a link from a colleague to a little animated short on the dangers of simply Googling a topic for information.  I thought the video was quite innovative, and I wanted to learn more about the application behind the project.  I spent about four hours on the Xtranormal website using their Movie Maker application.  I found it to be easy to use and entertaining.  It does have its limitations, namely cost - while a membership is free, users must buy "points" in order to select features and to publish movies.  At anywhere from one to five dollars per movie, the cost is not very significant, but with teachers watching every penny, it is noteworthy.
