ning could work. I'm on a couple of ning sites (we make zines subversive knitting) they work quite well.

Re: [videoblogging] Videoblogging social network
Yeah - I used Ning to set up Navlopomo a couple of years ago - we just used it to embed videos in discussion threads - but a lot of people didn't like the interface for some reason. My main objection to it was the fact that everything was locked in the Ning system. If Ning went bust or the servers went kaput, we could lose everything. I'd prefer to use something that was Open used exportable data.

ok myabe drupal then if you want opensource/exportable. it's great for community sites. or joomla (the online course sites I use maybelogic.netuses joomla. has forums etc too, not sure about video but there's prob a joomla plugin) the ning emails I get are links back to the site to read the posts - not sure if this is configurable by admins? but if someone sends me a message to my user account I see most of the message (it truncates in the email but has a link to the site) 2009/9/21 Rupert Howe rup...@twittervlog.tv I remember the biggest complaint about Ning during Navlopomo was that they didn't include the text of the message in the emails they send you.

Re: [videoblogging] Videoblogging social network
The only downside to something more open like a drupal install is that someone (or even better, a couple of someones) need to commit to running / maintaining the thing. Also possibly paying a little bit once in a while if it has a domain name, etc. But I agree - it DOES sound like the next iteration of this videoblogging group. And I like those ideas!

Re: [videoblogging] Videoblogging social network
I remember the biggest complaint about Ning during Navlopomo was that they didn't include the text of the message in the emails they send you. Have they changed that? Ning never changed their email notifications. You get told there's a message...and then must go to the site to read it. Ive always felt Ning groups are way too busy with noise. It would be interesting to have a more full featured group site. Ive always wanted better archives and ways to document the smart things people post. Ive tried to do it in a very limited way the past several years on this wiki: http://videoblogginggroup.pbwiki.com/ It's open to anyone to add/edit. As you've mentioned, we bring it up every so often to move to a forum or website. Rupert, I think you stated a facebook group for videoblogging a couple years ago. It's really about someone owning the process. Plus, it's been said that email lists push these messages to my inbox. If I had to remember to visit a site, I'd be less inclined to do this unless it was SUPER compelling. The interesting thing about this group is that it comes in waves. Some months it seems dead. Then someone pops up and starts a really interesting conversation. Every six months or so, some new people join that inject life back into older conversations. People subscribe and unsubscribe depending on their mood. As Verdi said recently, many of us seem less inclined to do development work, or make work. Tired of building plugins and websites and customizing opensource flash players. Seems things quieter here because, I think, many of us are just creating. A lot of the boundaries are gone. That's a really good thing. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://jaydedman.com http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790

Re: [videoblogging] Videoblogging social network
I was going to suggest ning too as it does have so many features. There is a lot of RSS built in that allows for reading; but yes, must log in (AFAIK) to participate. But the participation is so much more fantastic than an email list. Simplicity vs depth, that is the question. It too does take a little admin, tho nowhere near as much as a drupal site. Admins can send emails to the membership with highlights of what is going on this week; we could rotate that role on a monthly basis. And some day I hope they include the message in the body of the notification! It is irritating.

Feel free to make whatever new community based off this group that you want, but does that sound good for a group that is 99.9% Lurkers? Sounds like making a ghosttown.

Re: [videoblogging] Videoblogging social network
Schlomo, Just FYI: Joined vloggerheads today. Was able to post some video, get some feedback and see what other vloggers are up to. It even has specialized groups (you can form your own, too) to target your interests. Seems a pretty active and involved group for those interested. thanks again for suggesting.
