Hi,
what I think is missing from Drupal is a distribution/social network site that has multimedia as the central point.
So as people can share photos,videos etc.And the Media module could play an important role on this.
Is anyone interested on such a social network?Any thoughts?
Thanks

Have you checked into the Drupal Distribution called "Commons" - found here: http://commons.acquia.com? I used that Distro to build OpenSourceUsers.com... I'm sure you can easily add the media module to it quite easily.

Yep,I know Commons.Maybe it is a good idea to use it.Question:On your site http://opensourceusers.com/group/drupal-users-group how did you add the "How to"
menu item on the menu?I thought that it was not possible with Commons.

Great idea

I'm building a online community in D7 with photo and video sharing. I haven't used the media module because it wasn't ready a few months back.
The core image module works well but the video module with Zencoder and S3 integration is non-trivial at this point.
I'll be happy to talk to you about more details.

@mototribe, sure, would like
