  Would like to see Oslo equivalent of Convergence call it Divergence. Immediately but out a disclaimer "Opera does not condone driving and linking or drinking." You can show my Blog anytime. That would really be cool.

  Sorry guys but Ithink you did a bad job.
  
  Really bad.
  
  If I showed this to someone who had no idea what Opera Link (or Opera browsers for that matter) was they'd have no clue what it is and why they would want it.
  
  It looked like a short films about nothing in particular.
  
  I wanted to stop watching them 1/3 of the way through. They were like bad indie music videos.
  
  Try again, or see what the community can crank out.

  Great feature - great video (Convergence).
  
  Unfortunately I have to agree with WolvenSpectre: as an Opera Link commercial it sucks, as "a short (I would prefer it to be a bit shorter.) film about nothing in particular" it rocks.

  About the Opera Link clip, I didn't like the Youtube message: watching the clip on the PC, reading the comments on the mobile. Instead of "Link = complementary PC and mobile", I get the message "Link = now you can read on video sites". Also using Dell instead of a generic laptop doesn't look right.
  
  The Opera Link Convergence clip is too American, and again uses Apple instead of a generic laptop. It's a little worse, featuring aimless instead of diverse convergence. I didn't get the sitting position while going to the restaurant, the "play" and "bid" scenes, and why there's no Wii. "Flirt" is risque.

  One thing we (at Opera) need to emphasize is that the videos are part of a larger set. In other words, we have more coming, and each of the videos is intended to serve a different purpose, reaching different target audiences.
  
  The first two videos above are more about generating interest and piquing curiosity so one will be motivated to visit opera.com to see what we're about. One upcoming video we're working on is a much more informative user testimonial.
  
  I think we need all kinds of videos. The challenge to figure out what works best in different places and with different people.
