We’re delighted to announce the launch of the eSnips Micro-Portals.
Close to a million people now share content on eSnips. eSnippers share content about almost any topic you can think of from photography to UFOs. Now with the launch of the Micro Portals every such community can have it’s own social portal, or home on eSnips.
So what are Micro-Portals? Micro-Portals provide people who share the same interest with a centralized and dynamic view into all the activity taking place in eSnips around their specific area of interest. Ultimately we want every community on eSnips, even the most esoteric one to have a ‘home’.
Here's how it looks:
How is a Micro Portal formed? A Micro Portal can be formed around any group of people who use the same tags to describe the content they publish; for example a DJs Micro Portal was formed around people who tag their content with djs, remix and mix. The Micro Portal gets a memorable URL (it’s now http://www.esnips.com/community/remix, and will soon change to http://remix.esnips.com)/ Everything that is going on in eSnips around these tags is surfaced to the Micro Portal: the most recently added mixes, most popular mixes, most ‘favoritted’ mixes, people and/ or folders, recently joined members and so on. We will soon add a forum to discuss community affairs.
We’ve started with four micro portals and will soon launch many more. This is still very much in it’s initial mode and your comments are very important at this very early stage. Here are the links to the first four Micro Poratls (as I wrote in the DJ example we will change the URLs to be even friendlier soon.
Karaoke http://www.esnips.com/community/karaoke,
Remix http://www.esnips.com/community/remix,
Photography http://www.esnips.com/community/photography
Painting http://www.esnips.com/community/painting
In the future we plan on opening it up for anyone to create a Micro-portal for their community without our interference. If there’s a particular community you’de like to see us creating a Micro-Portal for please email me.
What’s the vision behind it? (This is my quote as it appears in the announcement):
“We are thrilled to be the first player to extent the social web revolution to communities that are too small to ever be noticed by major commercial community builders,” said Yael Elish, CEO of eSnips. “In the future, eSnips will enable its end-users to create new Micro-Portals on the fly. This will further strengthen our vision to empower even smallest groups on the web -- groups of people around the world who share interests in areas most of us were not even aware existed.”
Uhm i think n Digital Art Community should be added, since photography doesn't includes all other types of "digital" since photomanipulation is NOT "photography" roflmao confuzzles?

Hi Claudel. will check with the team. we can very easily add any microportal suggested, not sure how it works with a combination of two tags.

I'd like to see if you can add hobbies or carvings into the artwork perhaps? I have a hundred hobbies, singing is only one. I've been carving Elk antler for years, but don't have many pics of the ones I sold. I do have a new folder with carvings I did last fall and spring for Christmas presents and for some silent auctions for non profit organizations.Some of my carvings I paint or paint on. For example, "Wink" has an eye that I tried to make look real and coming from a wood spirit, a real eye gives it a different look.

Hi Dale. Technically we can create as many Micro-Portals as we want. Carving would have been great, but I am not sure there are enough people on eSnips who share content on this topic. When doing an eSnips search by tags on the tag 'carvings' you can see it only shows 3 people (you being one of them) and thus this Micro Portal that will be formed around this tag will not have enough content to sustain it. I would estimate that around 30 people are needed to form a Micro Portal that has enough action going in it. You can run this simple test for your other hobbies and see if there are enough people on eSnips who share that hobby to create a Micro-Portal.

Uhm how about groups of users based on their tags and groups micro-portal, let's say X user has plenty of free time and wants to make an interactive micro portal about "Fishing", doing an search over the website looking for other people with that tag attached then he can invite em into his group about Fishing or about Elvis Presley or Elton Jon or DJ Tiesto or Picasso or w/e they can think of? The group features could be auto-activated ONLY after that group has more then X members.
Why i'm suggesting this? because people noadays don't have the patience to check the billions of pictures posted day by day they will know where to go when they wanna find something about an X subject, they can exchange opinions about those subjects and so, my point is that you will have more interactivity because at this point i dont see any activity other then viewing someones folders and posting comments and then just stops... nothing else. That's why bloggers or site's like myspace and such are overpopulated, most people go there to exchange opinions or comunicate in a way or another, to have something of their own and something to show that represents them as they are or as they wanna be seen.I understand eSnips wants to be different then all others and to have its own way that represents it better and untill now it rocks. Well those are only suggestions plus i aint advertising or anything like that.

Hi Claudel, If i understand you corresctly, than this is exactly what we plan on doing. We will let users create mircroporatals using their tag of choice. Is that what you meant?
