Share Your Thoughts On How To Make EPL Talk More Interactive

Started by The Gaffer · 10 months ago

I’d like to get your valuable input on a couple of new ideas I’m interested in implementing to EPL Talk. Over the past 12 months, the EPL Talk site has zoomed up the charts and you’ve posted 7,943 comments. As a result, I’ve taken down the messag ... Continue reading »

    You could create a EPL Talk social network on Ning to promote reader gatherings, pre-game celebrations, post-match drunken wallowing, etc...

    Well Web 2.0 equals social networking in many respects. So bendi has a good idea in that respect.

    I've always supported a forum and think it is still a good idea. While the comments on the blog are excellent, they become limited and given the outstanding # of the posts you have to really search for a post, since it will be a few posts down quickly. A actual membership directory where we can interact with other members individauly would be fun.

    I believe that a televised post game show moderated by the Gaffer on a u-stream/justin.tv type site would be great. We talked about it before, but most of us in this community do not have a local post-match call in show to vent on. Time of the show has always been a problem, but immediate post-game would solve that.

    Bendi and eplnfl,

    Thanks for your suggestions. I appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts. I'll definitely consider Ning. Hadn't thought about that.

    A TV show would be great but it's hard to nail down a specific time (not just for me, but also for the viewers/readers). The great thing about blogging is that it's easier to do timeshifting - where it doesn't have to be live.

    Let me see what I can cook up from the ideas that everyone presented.

    Cheers,
    The Gaffer

    I really like the recent commets but I would like to see it expanded with a link that shows "all comments" in order. Speaking for myself I don't have the time to open up every link to see if a new comment has been made. Also if a person goes back in time and makes a comment on an older post it is more likely to get lost once it is off the recent comment list that is displayed on the front page. If there is a way to read all the comments made in order please post where I find the link on the page?

    I also miss the forums. I didn't really participate by posting all the often but every couple of weeks I would dip in and read other peoples thoughts.
