"Magnify.net, the company that lets you create your own niche video channel, will announce a plethora of new features this week - they're expected to go live on Tuesday.  \nFirst up, they've improved their drag-and-drop function to include your members on your Magnify frontpage, and block the members you don't want on your site. They've also added a discussions board and a chat widget, powered by Gabbly to encourage member interaction on your site.  Other widgets include buttons for bookmarking, and Paypal integration to accept credit cards.\nFirst mentioned on Mashable back in February, Magnify has always been very inclusive in the video hosts they allow you to search from, and now they've added DailyMotion and Metacafe to the list.  They've added to their search capability as well, allowing you to find a YouTube video based on someone's username, their favorites, or the most popular videos.  This is an interesting integration that I haven't seen from any other third party video aggregating service.  Another important addition is RSS integration, allowing others to subscribe to your Magnify site and get optional alerts when a new video is added by you or your members.  Also important is their provision of support channels via screen-cast videos offering step-by-step instructions on how to manage your Magnify site. \nIn all, these new features are user-focused and aim to improve interaction and viral growth.  Perhaps Magnify could become the Ning of video - less heavily integrated than white label video solutions, but offering anyone the ability to instantly create a niche video site.\n\nShow RSS Feeds on Your Magnify Homepage"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
