Welcome!

Hey there, and welcome to what is called BirdReview!

First of all, no this is not a second NSFWtv, though it features both Quentin Debode & Michiel Vossen, the two last members of the project.

The problem with NSFWtv wasn't the fact that we didn't like what we did. I'm sure I speak for both Quentin and I that NSFWtv has been an amazing project, and letting it go was one of the hardest things I have ever done. The problem might've been the fact that the project started to feel as a full time job. We spent a lot of hours on creating the content that a lot of people loved, but almost didn't have time to do our own things. That's where this will be different!

You see, this network won't be about writing gigantic blogs or making a lot of awesome videos. In fact we don't even have a schedule. The main focus of this project will be Twitter. Yes, the birdthingie. On Twitter we'll give reviews no longer than 1 tweet every time. This will result in us being able to just quickly mention a game, movie or album, give our opinion on it and rate it. That's quite a lot to do with just 140 characters, but we're absolutely in for that challenge!

So, why do we have this blog?

Yes, great question! Sometimes we might feel like we wanna talk a bit more about something we tweeted about. In that case we can either write a blog right here or upload a video to our Youtube-channel. Either way we'll find a way to tell you what we couldn't in one tweet. Once again: this doesn't mean we'll upload on a regular basis. Quentin and I will both keep doing our own stuff and by taking a slow approach to this concept we'll be able to not stumble and fall. For now Quentin and I have agreed that we both try to make at least 1 blog and 1 video a month. Doesn't mean we have to be shot if that doesn't happen, because once again, that's not the main purpose of this small purpose.

I'm pretty sure It's all sounding rather minimalistic at this moment, but I have to assure you that we can't wait to kick this project off. Where it'll take us? We don't know. But we sure love the idea of creating a dynamic platform in which you find your way towards us. There also are plans to do videos together for this project, together with Livestreams in which we take live suggestions or questions and give live reviews or opinions (a great way to get feedback if you're in a band!).

Now the first two tweets are out there we officially kicked off this project.

Let's do this.
