eSnips Launches MicroPortals

Client eSnips is a sponsor of the Web 2.0 conference, being held this week in San Francisco. Today, eSnips is announcing their new Micro-Portals, which brings the power of the social web to niche communities.

eSnips provides even the smallest affinity groups with a centralized social, dynamic portal, allowing what peers think is the latest and greatest in their community to surface.

Each community, regardless of size or type, can now have their own dedicated social portal called a Micro-Portal. The Micro-Portals provide a comprehensive, dynamic, centralized glimpse into everything that is happening within a particular community; the latest, most popular and favorite files and folders, access to new and favorite members, a forum to discuss community affairs, and community only areas that list unique tags, news and activities.

The Micro-Portal can be formed around any group of people who use the same tags (categories) to describe the content they publish. For example, the new DJ Micro-Portal, will include the latest and most popular remixes, comments, new members, and favorite performers, and will serve as a showcase for emerging talent. Other interest-driven Micro-Portals to launch this week include painting, karaoke, and photography. New Portals will be added based on user demand and interest.

Social sites revolutionized the way visitors to these sites with a constantly updated view to what their online peers find to be the most interesting and valuable content on the site or on the net. While this is available for very broad areas of interest such as news, photos, or videos, eSnips new Micro-Portals will be the first social site to extend this compelling sharing capability to even the smallest and most esoteric affinity groups, such as DJs, African poets, Persian cat lovers, video creators, karaokers, impressionist artists, and more.

As the eSnips user base continues to explode (nearly a million registered users in under eight months), unique communities have sprung up with a myriad of diverse interests and content. eSnips Micro-Portals provides these growing niche-communities with a social dynamic portal to share and sell their content.

For a glimpse at some of the new eSnips Micro-Portals, you can check out the karaoke community, the Remix community, the Photography community and the Painting community. More to be added soon.
