BlogTV has shown some modest increases in viewership and traffic. This has also lent itself to some frustrating page load times for members based on the number of ‘friends’ he or she has. A member with several hundred friends could wait 5-15 seconds (or more) for any video stream page to load and that doesn’t include the 15 second video ad placement if you don’t have a ‘Pro’ account.
BlogTV, a social networking site built on amateur webcam video streams, has created a new community toolbar browser addon. This new toolbar provides direct links and access to BlogTV’s video site.
Some of the features of the new toolbar include a Google powered search box (you cannot change the search engine provider), BlogTV news and announcements, links to the best content on BlogTV’s site and more. For regular users of BlogTV, this would be an enhancement they should definitely experiment with.
BlogTV is a social networking site based completely on video ‘shows’ and community chat. The site has become more and more of a haven for ‘trolls’, someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages to disturb an online community. Typically, the person who has to deal with the consequences of a ‘trolls’ actions is the video broadcaster. BlogTV has added new features to help a broadcaster run a smoother broadcast and more enjoyment for the audience as a whole.
