.tv Me.tv Tools Problem thread

[TheBulldog]

I invited myself to join one of my channels, following the email, I signed up and that was about it. I saw no way to add videos or pictures from strictly a user point of view. The channel is open and public.

What gives?

Looking back, I could have saved some cash, but I too thought I could use their tools more than I will be able to. So I regged most of my .tvs at enom banking on coming tools. Oh well. Live and learn.

But remember, the value of .TV does not rest in what Demand Media did on Tuesday night. It rests in what we do with it now.

Well to me, I would have thought that just the basic ability for users to also post a link to a video was a no-brainer. It sucks that something so seemingly obvious was not workied

I see, as i said, i only see these tools as an better alternative to parking pages nothing more, but i didn't really expect much more at this time to be honest.
All the tools we need are out there and the best and most succesfull sites will be custom made and not using some communal tools provided by DM.

PS i think your missingchildren site could be huge if developed right.

First off I agree with Showbiz that without users being able to participate it really dilutes the whole thing.

Bob this is what I always ssaid these would not be much the whole Britney at the mall example I gave. But people did think they would be more than this. I do not think you could have expected BrightCove but more than this clone of a million .tv's

MC no Me.tv is the tools tied to ENOM the registrar they are only providing ME tools to enom customers so you have to have a domain at enom not anywhere else.

Hey Eq,

I do understand what Showbiz is saying, what i am trying to say ( not very well) is that, for our best domains we need to do what ownthisdomainnow has done and get the specific tools we need to make our names a success.

With regards to the current available tools from Enom, i agree that they need more features, but i do think they are a big improvement on the alternative parked page that was previously available to us.

 

[equity78]

Oh I agree if you looking to do a site right you need to develop outside of Me.tv

I cannot agree on the parking example for domains that get traffic but for domains that get no traffic sure they weren't making anything PPC

Does anyone know how I would get a previously registered domain over to a ME.tv account? If I transferred it to Enom would it show up there? Anyone try this yet?

 

[equity78]

You just need it at ENOM me.tv is not a registrar

Thanks, that answers it -- I knew they weren't a registrar, but I wasn't sure about how to get the domains to show up in my domain list in my ME.TV account. So if I just transfer to Enom, that should do it.

I agree with many of you who are saying that it really bites for DM to not provide other users an upload or vid linking feature in your website.

I guess it's up to each of us to develop/buy a script to fit our needs.
Good luck to you all.
