New on eSnips: Community Micro Portals

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.

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.”
