Melissa has a keen interest in those specifically.<BR/><BR/>All of the sites you mention have pretty much the exact same feature set that we do - groups, photos, videos, text posting and comments. It's our intent to stay focused on people with interest in the QC community.<BR/><BR/>The main key right now is just allowing people to have profiles and backchannel communications. Hopefully some of the rancor we've seen on the comments will eventually subside (although a lot of the tone you see has to do with the subject matter at hand).<BR/><BR/>And don't worry, we won't tell the punk police if you stop by now and then. I'll leave it out of the next MRR scene report. ;)<BR/><BR/>Great feedback, and thanks for the notice QCI.Timothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995855142565429112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-43797231269941746672008-06-20T13:35:00.000-05:002008-06-20T13:35:00.000-05:00Guess what "boom"town Davenport street front busin...Guess what "boom"town Davenport street front business is going to be the next to close.

My first reaction was of a bit of apprehension. For my personal online viewing "world" or "style," it seems like something that could quickly grow to become too large for my tastes – something that would mean even more time online keeping up on things. I guess the multi-faceted plan seems to much for me. it's like Flickr, Myspace, Yahoo or Google Groups, and whatever else all rolled into one, all moderated by people who work for the Times (at least I think it's run by them). I know Melissa personally and like her, but I think I'd rather keep in-the-know via local bloggers doing their own things with their own sites. Maybe it's the DIY punk ethic that was instilled in me long ago. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, it's like you're saying... it gives people like you, who made a wonderful group called "People Who Actually Like Davenport," a forum for an audience that is potentially much larger than any individual blog. <BR/><BR/>All in all, I'll probably watch for any visual-arts related discussions for a week or so, but my hunch is that if those discussions don't happen on the Reader, they won't happen on Quadsville.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640071593903513572noreply@blogger.com
