Shark Week has always been something I have looked forward to on Discovery for as long as I remember and this week has been no different. To have a channel focus on one subject alone for an entire week and to gear all it's programming around that provides a week of compelling entertainment. What has changed, since my days of watching the show as a teenager, are all the fun and exciting ways you can explore shark week.
Some of the features are games like SharkRunners where you manage a shark research vessel in real time (SMS or emails alert you when its time to take another dive). You can also alter your picture to have shark teeth as a mouth in Shark Yourself. You may recognize the SharkYourself from the billboards on bus stops around New York City. Video podcasts can be found on iTunes with 3-minute snippets of shows and fun facts. Many of the videos can also be found on the Shark Week site as well.
So go ahead and click around the site and get to know sharks from a safe distance (your laptop).
