[TYPO3-UG US] TYPO3 2 minutes Super Bowl Ad

[Patrick Gaumond]

Here’s a draft of an idea I had. Some kind of a 2 minutes ad, à la 
corporate… As if TYPO3 was a commercial application with a million to 
spend in marketing. I’m pretty sure that talented people here are able 
to bring it (or something similar!) to life.

English is not my first language so bear with me!

Comments in ( ) are visuals clues, ideas. Try to put yourself in the 
mood by thinking about the voice in those Apple ads from the 90's.

Here goes my  " TYPO3 2 minutes Super Bowl Ad "

You need a powerful system to drive your website?
You need flexibility in your design and navigation?
You want people in charge of the information to put their own texts on-line?
You need it free of charge?

Introducing TYPO3 version 4, the most powerful and flexible CMS you’ll 
ever use.

MTV-looking)

With TYPO3 you can easily copy content from your word processor
Modify it to your need (put bold, apply style)
TYPO3 give you complete control of your content
You can hide content; show it at a predetermined time or to people that 
should have legitimate access to it.
Those reflexes you have about copy and paste are possible for a block of 
text and it’s also available for whole pages.
You erased something you shouldn’t have? Use the history feature to 
easily get back in time.

You need a workflow, TYPO3 has it.
You need a powerful news system with syndication, TYPO3 has one

You need to know who, when and what? TYPO3 has a handful of tools for 
login and reporting.

You need a feature no one ever needed before; TYPO3 gives you a full 
framework, fully documented so you can code your own extensions.

A CMS must also support the creativity of your designers. It’s why with 
TYPO3 you can just let them go wild (show 10 homepages in 2 seconds).
TYPO3 will never be the tool to limit your web design. Even better, you 
will be able to use TYPO3 to enforce the visual quality of your website 
(Fade in/out of those words: HTML, XHTML, CSS).
