Hi Faldrian,

We don't have specific legal terms written down, but the Participatory Culture Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization and we will never sell, rent, or otherwise hand over any of our user data to any 3rd party (and if we ever did any integration, say with Facebook or Google, we would ask you to opt-in first).

Hope this is helpful.

Hmmm that's too bad... we have hundreds of posts and it would take an hour to do. The spam seems pretty random.

Dean asked a question in IntenseDebate on August 19, 2009 22:42:

How do I automatically close commenting on articles older than X days?

I cannot find a setting or a plugin anywhere (I set it to 14 days in WP-core, but it had no effect). I'm getting spammed to hell and have hundreds of old articles that aren't being commented on anyways.

Dean replied on July 23, 2009 19:56 to the question "Miro -> Portable Media Player (Ipod, IPhone, Windows Mobile, MP4 Player)" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

We're looking into integrating (in a fashion) with doubletwist for the next version of Miro, which would allow for easy syncing with almost any device.

Miro 2.5 does allow you to browse YouTube and download videos directly: http://www.getmiro.com/blog/2009/07/4...

Alan,

This sucks, and the worst part is there isn't much we can do to stop these people. I'm curious, how did you find this website? Maybe there are search terms we can optimize for so that people don't get mislead into paying for Miro?

Thanks a lot for the heads up. We fixed the link!

Dean replied on May 25, 2009 06:15 to the question "No way to submit a feed on MiroGuide" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Hi there, we'll look into this asap! Sorry for the hassle and thanks for letting us know.

Dean replied on April 07, 2009 16:35 to the problem "I tell Miro to start when I log in but it doesn't" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Ok, thanks — we'll look into it.

Try reinstalling VLC and follow these instructions (for the firefox plugin): http://wiki.videolan.org/Windows#VLC_....28Mozilla.29

Dean replied on April 07, 2009 16:31 to the question "How long does it take to approve new shows?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Can you tell me the name and feed URL?

Dean replied on March 26, 2009 06:21 to the question "Aspire One netbook suitable for Miro?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Ah, I see — well there's always the folks at Neuros... maybe still a bit too expensive ($299), but they have HDMI built in. Cool stuff: http://www.neurostechnology.com/

Dean replied on March 26, 2009 06:17 to the question "Why do some videos not preview in the miro guide?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

The quicktime plugin for firefox? We should default to that, if we're not... we'll see what Paul says.

Dean replied on March 26, 2009 06:16 to the idea "i'd like to see ebook functionality" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

We may be branching out this direction.

Dean replied on March 26, 2009 06:15 to the question "Can Miro create DVDs with good definition on regular TV sets from YouTube videos?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Well if you download an HD YouTube video with Miro, you could use a DVD burning app and put it on TV. However, if you're downloading a video on YouTube that's not got an HD version, it'll never get any sharper than it already is.

Dean replied on March 26, 2009 06:14 to the question "Why is the Open/Save dialogs in Miro 2.0 for Windows non-native?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

We switched to native widgets, away from XUL, so I'm surprised you're not seeing a native dialog. Can you show a screenshot?

Dean replied on March 26, 2009 06:13 to the question "Miro+M-Audio sound card+Vista= no sound" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Sorry to hear about this :(

Are you still experiencing this with Miro 2.0.3?

Dean replied on March 26, 2009 06:12 to the question "how do i watch adult videos" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

I'm not sure that adult videos would be any different than other videos. We don't do any content filtering or blocking.

Dean replied on March 26, 2009 06:12 to the question "Is it possible to filter a feed by regular expressions?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Ah yes, smart feeds — this is something that's a ways down the UI improvements list, but it would be helpful to know how many people were interested in the feature.. maybe we could move it up.

Dean replied on March 26, 2009 06:10 to the problem "download item not working (hangs browser, maybe media type not recognized?)" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Is it archive.org that you're trying to download from here?
