Sure NXT would be good and what about bioncle? I hope they can copy those parts
across from their in-house version of LDD sometime soon...
I don't understand why cross linking popularity with a key word search would
take a lot of development - especially when they have it working in other parts
of the site... I mean if you are setting up a gallery based social network one
of the first things you would want to implement is a way of seeing what people
are interested in... they must have the stats on the pages anyway unless they
also use a privative admin panel as well...

I don't understand when you think people are going to change their factory
submissions to be un-kid friendly?
When a user uploads a model and description that is checked - right?
Then it is stored in the database etc... then you COULD just be given a URL -
right? Nothing hosted by lego in the factory gallery is bad because it's been
checked...
I don't understand what the difference between a walled off gallery and one that
allows people to embed their factory submission in a html page or at least link
to a URL?
For example if I want to show you my latest creation I have to tell you to
search under my user name and if the search doesn't break, which it sometimes
does, you might get to see it. This is like the dark ages of the internet!
Surely Lego is interest in viral marketing of URLs like other social networks?
I just sent my self a LEGO Factory postcard and it only has a link to A PICTURE
of the factory submission but not the submission itself! (download, price etc)
If Lego wants the awesome LDD to grow they should make the listings more
sharable/rate-able... eg:

| One comment I will make-- I don't think they would want the general "rating" per se. I think there's potential for kids to feel bad if their submitted models are rated poorly. Doesn't mean you couldn't circumvent that risk, but you'd have to base (...) (17 years ago, 12-Mar-08, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
