The Friendspot

So as you all know 360friendspot is going through quite a few changes, and I am entertaining the idea of expanding the staff to expand we have to offer here at 360friendspot. Everyone remembers our faithful news guy Johndg – well he is going to continue to fill that role, and joining the team of bloggers here at 360friendspot. That’s right we are going to try and have a team of bloggers posting the news, thoughts on that news, or any original content that they feel worth posting about. Joining that team is also a friend of mine DJSteel – who is actually also from Pennsylvania (woot!). So you should start seeing some stories posted by both of them whenever the mood strikes them. Would you like to join the team and have blogging access to have your opinions seen on the front page of 360friendspot? Send some samples my way – we might have room for more

Like to review games? I am looking add some more members to the “official” reviews section of the site. Keep in mind I have to rewrite how reviews are posted (or simply have them posted to the forum or blog), so it might be a little bit before its ready – but send me some samples if you want to do official reviews for the site. Currently those reviews would most likely be based you purchased, because I rarely get review copies of games – but will share them as they come – and as the site expands, perhaps so will the number of reviews we are given.

Finally, it has been kicked around off and on for quite some time that we have a 3fs podcast, or as I like call it “The 3FS Friendcast” – in any event I did not start this idea, but I wouldn’t mind knowing who is seriously interested in being a part of this team – and what times you would be available for recording etc. The more I think about it, the more I would like to give this a shot, and do my best to be part of the teamPlease also let me know if you have previous experience at podcasting, editing, etc.  Â

So long story short, if you want to blog, review games, or podcast simply email me and let me know how serious you are, what you want to do, and samples of previous work – sound good?

Some Recent Site Enhacements Released

• Forum Gallery – where you can upload pictures of yourself and view others – does it work? (I seem to be the only one that used it so far)
• Forum Arcade – great way to waste time – enjoy it guys.

Some things In the Works – or on the List

• My Games - i still see alot of value using the 360voice games list in some way – though I can see the value in allowing you to select other games too, so I will work on some sort of combination we will see
• Reviews Area – going to re-add the reviews area on the site, making it possible to read official 3fs reviews
• Friends Finder – ZaaM will be putting this on his blog, so it will be redirected to there, or removed from the site, or maybe he will let me do some sort of cool remote integration to it, so it runs here, but then says its powered by his friends finder – time will tell
• Live eye - as you know its going to go offline soon, im going to archive all the information for my personal records before that date, but I also might run some stats, and do a little stats page in remeberance of our little baby.
• Site Name change - as you know the current site URL is a temporary one, very shortly I am going to have the original 360friendspot domain point to this site, and this will be our official home with its real address.
• Final Touches – need to put some final touches on the site – such as fix the flash stuff, and also fix the board colors to fit the rest of the site theme.
