WAIT…WISH-WHA??

Posted by blogTV.com On May 11, 2009 9 COMMENTS

The wishlist is a great way for the blogTV staff and community to make sure they are all on the same page. However, if the wishlist page is not used correctly, it will not yield the results you all may have been hoping for. Here are a few tips on how to make it work best for you, as well as some info about wishes that already exist (obviously those people who wished for them were unaware of the features, so they should be pointed out).

HOW TO WISH SUCCESSFULLY:

  • Read the wishes that are currently on the list before you make your wish. This way you will not duplicate an existing wish.
  • Vote for the wishes you want to come true rather than writing them yourself. If you continue to break upthe same wishes into thousands of similar ones, you will never get the full amount of votes for the wish and therefore it will not look like its been voted for very much and wont get onto the radar of the blogTV developers.
  • Write in proper English with fully thought out sentences so that other blogTV members and staff will knowwhat you are talking about (currently there are many wishes on the wishlist that are simply unintelligible and will not be understood, let alone added to the site). This will also help people to not repeat the same wishes. If they understand that your wish is the same as their wish, they will have no need to repeat it.

INFO ON WISHES THAT ALREADY EXIST (DONE):

1. Mobile blogTV: Currently you can use most 3G phones to watch blogTV from m.blogTV.com. Soon it may be possible to broadcast from mobile phones as well!

2. "Where is this person": If you are in a chat room and want to know what show your friend is watching, simply press the MAGNIFYING GLASS icon underneath the username list of the chat, type your friend's name in and it will tell you what chat room your friend is located in.

3. Choose your auto-played video: In order to choose which video plays in your broadcasting screen when you are gone, simply press the "Edit" link above your video section and you will see a link next to each video called "Select VOD for player."

4. Vote to ban a user: With the new poll feature shown here, you CAN poll your viewers to see if they want to ban a certain user from the chat room!

5. No more guests: All of you currently have the option to shut off the guest chat in your rooms. Simply press on the PENCIL icon underneath the username list, in your chat window. You will see options to choose who is allowed to chat in your room and who is not. Click here for a visual demonstration.

6. Partner Program: The blogTV partner program or ad revenue share program info can be found here.

7. Sort the Live Now page by viewers: If you look at the top of the Live Now page you will see that there are several sorting options. You can choose to sort the Live Now page by viewers so that you can see who is the most popular broadcaster at all times. You may use any of the sorting features. We are not going to tell you how to watch your Live Now page.

8. GIF profile pictures: You are already allowed to use either JPG or GIF formatted images for your profile pictures. It will not work for animated GIFs.

9. The blogTV Store: If you want to purchase your very own blogTV gear, you can HERE.

10. Private shows: If you purchase a Pro Account for $25 a year, you can do private shows and only invite people on your friend list. Thereby negating the perverts.

As we continue to make the wishlist page work more successfully for you, we also hope that you will take these tips and help make it more successful for yourselves.

HAPPY WISHING!

    Thanks for posting this. Maybe people will stop posting 10 wishes, in 2 minutes. And maybe they will actually READ the wishes instead of re-wishing them. ALSO, I never knew about the search before until this article, honestly.

    Yes, But the m.blogtv.com doesn't work... No matter what show when you click it (I've tried it on my Iphone, Friends blackberry and on a PC) it doesn't do anything and comes up with various error messages. It'd be great if you could fix this!

    thanks for the info =]

    Thank you all for pulling this together. Raking through comments and grouping them into categories and such is always hard work. Thank you for the update :)
