Great idea. Wish the project much success. Once it is further along, my startup will give this product a shot -- in particular the java server integration is of interest to me.

Whenever a module/feature gets completed, please consider creating short how-to docs/videos. This is a consumer oriented product, so friction to deploy should be minimal.

Good idea. Thanks. We're also working to solve the problems by keeping the design as intuitive as possible. Media sharing should be just a question of dragging and dropping the file in to the channel posting box (we're going to work on this frontend bit next).

The java server (https://github.com/buddycloud/buddycloud-server-java) is nearly feature complete and being implemented by a company called Surevine who plan on using it for "enterprise" customers.
