Yea its up. I suggest that you make the profile questions more Ninja-centric. You might want to ask for example:
- What is your favorite Ninja moment or quoet?
- Where do you watch AskaNinja?
-If you could AskaNinja anytthing what would it be?
Good: Being able to just copy paste my YouTube video's embed code - rather than having to upload them all over again ( ala Myspace ) Homerun on that one. Bad: Ummmm some kind of chat? Hello? IM? Twitter integration. Kinda tough to be "social" and form "weak ties" with other people without real time communication.
Question: Can you add The Ninja as a friend? Or will he be like Tom on myspace, added by default as everyone's friend as the uber node?
Yeah, I'd like to see more ways to integrate person to person communication. The nice thing is that Ning keeps rolling out new features pretty regularly. So I'm sure over the next 3-6 months we'll start seeing more of that sort of stuff.
Oh, I see, yeah, that's sort of a hack we have to live with since we're turning off comments on AskANinja.com, we have to have them in the system here. As the fans site get more videos, they'll be less of an emphasis on the official vids, and more of the fan stuff.
We have the ability to feature on the main videos from anyone.
