Now you can share DIY: What Can I Do? even more! There are several options:
1. On the right sidebar, there is a link to sign in using your Facebook account instead of the Drupal sign in.
2. There is a "Share with Facebook" link on the right sidebar that will allow you to check off which friends to share the site with. Remember, on the lower right section there is a link on the toolbar where you can share the site with a number of different social networking sites also.
3. A "Share by Email" link is now in the right sidebar.

Gigya Integration
I have included a module by Gigya that adds a toolbar to the bottom of the site where you can update your status on DIY:WCID with your Twitter, Facebook, or MySpace account.
You can also share the site with many social networking platforms, email it, and view the DIYWICD live feed on Twitter and get access to the Facebook fan page.

New Points System
I have added the Drupal Module "Userpoints" and can now award points for comments, page views, profile views, YouTube videos and 12second videos. Points have been awarded retroactively for those who have already registered.

New Module considerations
Considering two Drupal modules to make the site more engaging:
Bookmaker: Allows users to place bets on outcomes of events.
Tribune: User chat module on the main page for registered users.

12seconds Room Live and first focus group test
The YouTube and 12second rooms are now both active with a challenge posted on each site.
I created a Twitter account name "diywcid" and embedded a Twitter feed on my site, all videos with the #diywcid tags feed into the DIY:WCID site after I enabled sharing from the two video sites. Now we can see exactly when new video content arrives on both channels.
The focus group created as an event that lasts until December 31st now has its first instructions. My first request of the group included two different tasks:
1. Go to www.diywcid.com, explore the site and create a member profile. This will allow all of us to be linked together and lead to more member privileges in the future.
2. Follow the links for the YouTube Challenge or the 12seconds Challenge (or both) and follow the instructions on each page to respond to a challenge. Remember to tag your videos with #diywcid so that each video posted will be included in the live feed on the main page.
Every page on diywcid.com has a comment space, so if there are any ideas on where improvements can be made or any questions, they can be posted under the appropriate page.

It's Alive!
The DIY: What Can I Do YouTube Channel is live!
Presently there is an introduction video that explains how to post video responses to challenges, two posted challenges and one sample response. I am now encouraging every video to be tagged with #diywcid so the tags can eventually link to a Twitter feed and a live feed on the DIY: WCID site.
