Before I take you through long-list of features, I would like to thank you **Mr. Jake Clifford** from **[My Global Vision](http://www.myglobalvision.com/)**. This generous man not only sponsored funds for complete development of following features which spanned 2-3 months, but also promptly agreed to release all the codes & customization developed for him in open-source.

Thank you Jake from me, my team and on behalf of our users. 🙂

As many community members have different perspective of having Media on BuddyPress, so its difficult to satisfy everyone. But if you want customization in this component, we will be happy to provide support.

Like Jake, you can also contribute and lets take the BuddyPress Media Component to a next level!

Send in any reports of bugs. We will get down to fixing them ASAP. 😉

There are too many features to show in single post so I will be introducing the features in coming posts. Yeah, a screen cast will be a better idea… 🙂
