...and miles to go before I sleep

(I'm feeling tired)

Well, it's been a long night/morning checking out all the new features of the site, so far I'm very pleased with what I'm seeing here. View my latest video for details on my thoughts about the site. I'm considering doing a series of videos documenting my thoughts on the site as it grows, now that it's officially launched. If you're new to LiveVideo this might make for an interesting series of videos to watch, getting the thoughts and opinions of a LiveVideo Veteran as things progress. For now here are my pros and cons, subject to change on a daily basis or as I find out more about how the new site functions and things are brought up to speed.

Pros: Groups, Blogs, Sectioned channels, the overall potential of the site to be the "One Site To Rule Them All" if everything is done properly.

Cons: LiveTV and Chatroom video quality is sub-par, lag is unacceptable, some folks are having problems uploading videos (specifically reports from Mac users unable to upload content), could use a one-click solution to view your subscription's new videos.

And a short list of what I personally would love to see come in the future...

User creatable chatrooms (the ones that are here that are default are nice but I can see them becoming overwhelmed in almost no time).

A few tweaks to the Groups functionality to make it easier to find groups you're interested in and some more customizability for the groups themselves.

The "Gifts" are cute but currently rather pointless, wouldn't it be nice if you could give things that are worthwhile using that system? I imagine LV's coders have this in mind for future development and I'm hopeful that we'll see real, usable "gifts" down the road a piece.

More skins and layouts, we still have the ones we started with, how about some new ones, or better yet, how about a way for users to create and submit skins and layouts to the site which can be voted on and added? Give the users more input on how the site will look.

How about some built in editing features? The LiveCam is cool but picture it if you could throw in effects, edit your final video, splice, rearrange, add soundtracks etc. What about the ability to upload your own credit reel and intro that you can elect to place on LiveCam videos? You upload your intro/credit reels ahead of time and they're stored for you then whenever you use LiveCam you can opt to place those in front of and behind your content.

Believe it or not, yes, that IS my short list of thoughts. :)
