Dear Mr. Robert Scoble

I’m personallly sorry and apologetic that I haven’t made SURE you grok PeopleAggregator.

So lets say I have this podcasting company - with lots of channels.

And I wanna offer my customers a way of meeting each other, flirting, schmoozing, collaborating, clustering into groups, blog, podcast, vlog - you know - a “MySpace in a Box” experience.

You see Robert, MySpace and Facebook have been doing our advertising for us.  We offer folks the ability to have their own social network.  Without spending $100,000’s.

And lets say that back in July - I personally went and created a PodTech Network in PeopleAggregator - which Val helped me set up.  I suggested to Val that an archive of best hits from your show, and other podcasts could easily be uploaded or linked in and that network members could submit their own content as well.

You could/should also creates groups - around particular affinities, promos, clients, conferences, channels or topics.

Hosted network you ask?   Yes - we offer FREE hosted social networks - with intense blogging, podcastigng and vlogging capabilities AND we also offer source code - as well.

Lots and lots of folks want this stuff - and we’re hard at work getting it to them.  And others are just doing it themselves.  We’ll have formal announcements once a couple more contracts get signed.

But the short answer to your question is “MySpace in a box“.

BTW - Your hosted network can easily be migrated to a downloaded source code version - so if you want to incestuosly bind the network to your site and authenticate members to get PeepAgg accounts - that’s why we designed it like that. 

You dip your toe in a hosted network - for free - and we then ‘upsell’ you into a paid ‘enterprise’ version.  Get it?  Its called a business model.

    [...] I was following some links from Scobol and Marcs own blog about what he describes as “MySpace in a Box” - People Aggregator. (See http://www.peopleaggregator.net or http://peepagg.net.) I’ve never cared for myspace and despite it’s success and wide adoption by the youth and businesses who cater to them I have no inclination to join the mayhem. [...]

    Marc, this is a great start! I know this is sort of an alpha right now with plenty of bugs and missing functionality, just wondering when we can see a stable release?

    I am currently using Community Builder as it is tightly integrated with Joomla, but would love to have another (more robust) option for my CMS of choice. Any possibility for a version that integrates with the Joomla user DB? Would it be possible to create a bridge to synch Joomla Users with the PeopleAgg User DB using my own hosted version?
