Hi,

I'd like to get your thoughts on a website inspired by "web 2.0" that
we've just launched.
It's called quomon.com and it's focused on knowledge sharing between IT
professionals.
There is a point system which motivates quick answers and getting
prestige within different categories of knowledge.
Instead of hierarchical categories, they are like tags and user
defined, and some parts of the website have been AJAX enhanced.
The site is developed in .NET 1.1, and it's using NHibernate (O/R
Mapping) and dotnetlucene (quick, advanced text indexing).

Any comments, critique or whatever comes into your mind is appreciated.

Regards,
David Givoni
 
These types of social networks would do better when supporting web parts and
personalization don't ya think? A public API would enable collaboration that
could genuinely be said to be Release 2.0.

You sure did a lot of good work though and it shows.

Thanks, Clinton, for your thoughts.
You're right about personalization and a public API could be
interesting too. Web parts, I don't know. It's fancy, but my experience
is that in many cases people don't personalize it that much. But well,
it should be easy to implement with asp.net v.2, so I'll put it on the
feature list.
 
I'm developing a solution that will display various sets of data on the
homepage just like quomon.com and many other contemporary applications do.
The application is actually "inside" the site, again like most other
applications.

WebParts seem to be the perfect way to allow members to setup which filtered
sets of data appear on the homepage without requiring the entire process of
selective filtering to be repeated each time the site is used. Very helpful
for information you want to help the member keep "above the fold." I've
reserved the entire homepage of the application I'm working on for a WebPart
implementation I won't be able to get at this for awhile but its certainly a
priority.

I am puzzled why we don't see more sites that implement WebParts. Your
thoughts?
