Day 6 - Details on my "wish list" from the other day...

(I'm feeling nerdy)

User creatable chatrooms: Simple enough concept, just like on Stickam really, doesn't need any real detailed explanation...

Groups functionality: What I'm thinking here is several things, one, to have a block on your pages where the groups you belong to and/or created are listed for anyone visiting your page to see. Also a link on your home page to go directly to your groups (just your groups, as well as possibly to your subscriptions, that'd be helpful too).

The "Gifts": Perhaps once the site starts to look into profit sharing concepts, down the road, this feature would come in handy as you could maybe give gifts of actual value to other people on the site or maybe even hook your account up to your paypal or CC to allow you to give real gifts. Might be a security risk though, but I've never been hacked here...

Skins & Layouts: Idealy, what would be great would be a small program that would give you the tools you need to create the whole layout package, including the CSS. You could use the image editor of your choice to create the graphics but the program would be fairly WYSIWYG and allow people without coding experience to create killer layouts for their channels or which they could share with others. A system similar to this exists on zoints.com but in a more limited way, in that you don't have a client application to help you out and any images used must be stored on your own server space. But a site like this could probably afford to spare the storage space for some graphics and the code for a ton of layouts. But PLEASE don't make it too MySpacy, argh, that'd be painful.

Video Editing: With this, here's what I'm envisioning... You create your lead in and your credit roll in whatever video editing program you use, then you upload those two files to a folder on LiveVideo that's specially assigned to this task. When you've created a LiveCam video, you're given a finalizing option to add your intro/outro to the video, maybe limit each user to 3 or so intro/outros. As for the editing features, some other sites have done this with limited success. I don't imagine anything TOO fancy, perhaps the ability to add text over your video, insert a soundtrack, add some simple effects, cut sections of the timeline out, use some basic transition effects like fades and so forth. It wouldn't have to be too elaborate to allow people to use the LiveCam tools to create MUCH better content on the fly.

If anyone (including Admins please) finds any of these ideas useful, please, let me know and I'll post more of them, with more details and graphic accompaniment.
