Three hearing friends and I designed a text messaging website called www.text4deaf.com, the aim of the website was to bridge the communication gap between the deaf and the hearing communities. Anyone can send a text message from this website (your computer) to any cell phone regardless of service provider. 10% of the proceeds goes towards a deaf charity. I did a vlog that introduces this website and in order to reach both communities at the same time, I incorporated sim-com which is simultaneously communications. Also note something, the first time I did the vlog I realized that you couldn't see my hands as I was signing that's because the wall was originally pale and did not provide a contrast with my own skin color. So we posted a navy sheet on the wall and you could see it so much better. Just an FYI to all that if you ever do a video of someone signing make sure you have contrasting background. :D
