How about using the Products feature of Get Satisfaction to keep this place better organized?
What you guys (Ning and Ning costumers) think about using the Products tab that Get Satisfaction provides to filter our tips and requests according to the components and services Ning offers?
For example:
- Video
For discussions, requests and ideas related to video on ning and the Videos feature.
- Photo
For discussions, requests and ideas related to video on ning and the Photos feature.
- Discussion
- Events Calendar
- Music
- Chat
- Administrative Interfaces
... and so on.
I had proactively categorized a couple of my reports earlier today under 3 "Products": Video, Events Calendar and Discussions Feature. However the admin have removed those categories already.
So, I want the opinions of you guys about this possibility. Would having different categories help or confuse? I can see both points, but I tend to like the idea of having focused areas that one can subscribe to (other than just tags), and all new posts under a product by default go with the main product Ning already checked, so the main stream would still cover almost all topics (the product categorization is not exclusive, the same post can belong to several products, including the main one).
Also, suggestions about other division of categories are welcome.

Hi Fabricio,
I saw your note over here (http://getsatisfaction.com/ning/topic...) about making better use of the Products section — looks like you have something similar in mind on this thread.
I agree that we should take advantage of everything Get Satisfaction offers — to be honest, I am still playing around with the "Products" section and seeing how well it works on other sites (early findings: not that well).
I think it's inevitable that some stuff will get miscategorized, and that's fine. The important questions are, how well can we navigate Get Satisfaction now, and will that get a lot easier if we use Products?
Get Satisfaction just changed its design today, so I'd like to spend a little time getting used to the new look first. In the meantime I'll keep looking for other companies using Products effectively.
Thanks!
Nick

Inappropriate?I like this idea Fabricio. When I first came into here, I thought to myself - 'how is this organized?' and then realized it's a free for all for the time being. However, I do feel that the search function is infinitely better than the one on the old networkcreators group.
In fact, I like this better than Ning's group (albeit they haven't brought any of the old discussions over) that I've added Getsatisfaction onto my own site as a user driven FAQ and Help section.
