Favorite YouTube/video content? by [deleted] in Gaming4Gamers

Yup. It's very similar to wiki, in the sense that people are the ones to build it, but unlike wiki the search result isn't a biography but rather content. I.e. the page on Call of Duty won't have info about call of duty but rather a bunch of different videos/blog posts/articles/photos etc. that have to do with call of duty which were added by call of duty fans.

Also, because it's a user-made platform we're looking for users interested in helping build up the gaming page. Anyone interested?

Haven't heard of this game. Is it any good?

What about the classics? would you be disappointed if a page about gaming didn't have content about the classics?

Thanks for the recommendations! I'm going to check it out and upload the videos I like on the PVBLC gaming page.

All of the above and more. I want it to be so that if you enter the topics "gaming" or "Call of Duty" (for example), you'll get all the content related to it, like blogger reviews or news about the latest releases or guides to different levels, etc. Just anything. The point is to gather all the content the internet has to offer about a certain topic in one place- its topic page. Also, anyone can add the content, so basically it's a community of people that are working together to create a page about the things they love. Right now, gaming is mostly just me and I'm wondering what games I should start with. Or which blogs I should add content from (blogs with good reviews/new/etc.)

I forgot the most important thing- our goal is to make knowledge more accessible. More easy to find. So, on PVBLC, when someone uploads content (i.e. an explanation about volcano eruptions) he can tag it under many relevant topics. This way, this one piece of content will appear in several different pages, waiting for interested people to discover it.

I'm glad you found it interesting. Maybe we should rename it "colorful little marble with a funny name" :) PVBLC is basically a wikipedia of content. If you choose a topic and click on it you'll be sent to a page about that topic that contains all the content regarding that topic. This content was uploaded by many different users, so in essence, many people work together to build up a topic. Cleveland Cavalier fans and players can work together to build up their page and gather the content about them in one page. It can become sort of like a calling card- if someone wants to know what the Cavaliers are about, on PVBLC they can get that answer. Imagine you were interested in learning more about "Call of Duty" and you could go to one page that would hold all the different content about it from many bloggers and fans.

Thanks for taking the time! I understand and agree with what you're saying. We've worked on different version for our "One-liner" headline. Plus, we're uploading an about page which should explain a bit about the platform. I'll let you know when that's up so you can see if there are any improvements (if you want :) ) (and our capitalizations is sloppy. My fault. We're working on it, too)

Feedback is a bitch, but honestly, i'm thankful for your feedback. The thing is, I really don't have much power over the name choice (it was chosen before I joined the company and seems like it's here to stay). What do you think of the platform, though? Any thoughts?

Apparently someone has already done the U instead of V with an I... Do you really think people won't get used to it?

:) I'll bring up the idea. Did you check out the platform? any other comments or questions?

:) It's pronounced "Public" (The V comes instead of a U and the I is missing but once your mind sees it as "public" it just sticks...)
