Hey,

We hope to change your mind over the next few months. We don't actually limit video length, would be interesting to know which video caused you that problem because that is something we certainly want to resolve quickly.

Feel free to drop me an email if you like alex @ socialgo.com,

Have a good day!

That's why were looking forward to the maturity of the portable identities which will be a big plus for offerings like ours.

Hi Guys,

I'm part of the team here at SocialGO. Firstly thanks for taking the time to check out the site and for all your comments.

Thanks to Kirsten for her comments which we will take on board (that's the purpose of BETA after all!).

With regards to the API, we are currently working on V1 which will open up user account control to allow developers to build bridges between existing membership databases and their SocialGO network. API V2 will follow shortly with further access.

We think we have built a unique service that differs from what other people have to offer and that gap is only going to grow as the service matures. We have an aggressive product roadmap and over the coming months hope to convert all the skeptics out there! :)

I'm always available if anybody has any questions or suggestions on alex@socialgo.com.

Cheers

Re: Ning's Disgruntled Widget Maker Returns: Back As SocialGO Partner

Thanks for the blog post. Just to clear up a few things, the widgets in the store will start from free and will be sold for a one-off fee rather than a monthly payment although this is of course subject to change as we get feedback from our developers.

The third party program is one part of a series of changes to SocialGO over the next 8 weeks which will make the service a more flexible framework for network owners. The ability to mash-up the features and add custom-code throughout their network is something we are increasing support of with the release of our new admin system shortly.

Later today we will be posting an update on our blog alongside a refined terms of service, which protects network owners and gives them the reassurances they need to build a long-term businesses out of their niche networks. This is alongside a series of monetization tools including PayPal subscription integration and additional monetization tools as well.

We look forward to a busy few months and to converting the skeptics too :) Subscribe to http://www.SocialGO.com/blog for further updates.

One final note, Spencer and his team are a totally seperate team with their own views. We are glad to faciliate their creativity and energy and look forward to working with them in the future.

@Angel, We have carefully constructed our third party platform to allow WidgetLaboratory and other third parties to build and deploy widgets without them being able to cause any damage to the overall platform. It's difficult to imagine how a small bit of code could cause a total shutdown of a platform.
