We are ecstatic to announce a new feature we released to the site last night. As a result of many sleepless nights, we have completed a very feature-rich Group Podcast/Blog Forum system.

It is a Forum in Audio and Video.
Ever dream of posting forum topics in Audio or Video? Here it comes.

It is a podcast/blog community where your unique personalized podcast/blog meet with the community’s common interest groups.

It is …. . We don’t how to describe our new group system. It likes nothing in the current Internet world. It can be rich-customized to fit your needs. You’d better check it out yourself.

Here are some examples about what you can do in this “Group Podcast/Blog” system:

Case 1: Aggregate multiple Podcast/Blog feeds into one group feed
Want to check out all your friends’ recent posts in one feed? You can simply create a group and invite your friends to join the group. All your friends can publish new posts to their own podcasts/blogs and to the group at one click. You can simply subscribe one feed and get all your friends’ new posts.

Case 2: Publish different characterized posts into different groups
Are you a mixture of Football fan and tech geek? No problem. You can have all the fun by publishing football posts into a football group where all your football friends belongs to and publishing tech posts into a tech group where all your tech friends joined.

Case 3: Publish one post into multiple groups
We think your single one post may be interested in multiple groups? So we create the “One Post Multiple Publish” feature. Your one post can be published into multiple groups at One Click. In each group, your post will be linked back to your original podcast/blog post.

Case 4: A Fan Club Forum in Audio and Video
Want to get interactive feedbacks from your audiences and fans? Open a group and let everyone post feedbacks in text, audio or video.

Case 5: Mashup
We thought that it could be fun to import any your favourite posts into one group, but we haven’t implemented this feature. If you like to have it, please let us know.

Sounds interesting. Create a group now and start to have all the fun in the podcast/blog community.
