http://blogoforum.com/tag/business+community Talk about business and community http://blogoforum.com/tag/business+community+craigslist+link+wsj/craigslist-ceo-interview-on-wsj-1345.html Wall Street Journal published an interview with Craigslist CEO: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB115049840863382886.html Pretty interesting reading however left most interesting questions unanswered. Why Craigslist isn't profit-oriented? This theme is closely related to Blogoforum.

This is a surprise. This is good surprise for me! How did talkinghub get here? I would I know! I have 2 web projects which are pretty popular. They are http://dotuseful.sourceforge.net/ - Java Swing tree library, and http://dkrukovsky.blogspot.com/ - "Make the Software Shine" - writings on software design. Both of them are pagerank 5. talkinghub.com is first one with PR 7. talkinghub was produced as a result from "How to Write Software" - I got an idea that it would be interesting to people if I will publish step-by-step story on how to write software from scratch. First post on it: http://dkrukovsky.blogspot.com/2006/01/how-to-write-software.html Some people were inspired in it and cheered me up. Thanks! If you are reading this please leave a few words about you.

I'd still recommend giving people some way to identify themselves in a post without typing their name in the post body. It would help in following the threads, but it would also be nice to include as another way to organize the posts. If you liked a post by someone, you could read other things that they'd posted. In your case (if I could filter posts by your name), it would be an easy way to follow the progress of talkinghub's development, for instance. RSS feeds would be useful. To keep people coming back if a thread they participated had new activity and make it easy to find those previous threads. I don't know how hard it would be to implement, but possibly make use of a service like tagthe.net. It takes your text and pulls out likely tags... that way you take the burden off of the user to come up with relavent tags for a post and make things easier to find. I like the idea of letting people start their own "hub". That's pretty cool. Keep up the good work!

Are you sure your idea is good, or you do have some worries about it? Or you are completely confident with your idea, but have some worries about how to convince the world about it? Then I'm like you. I have an idea I believe in, and I work on implementing it and making it popular. The first part was relatively easy. Software development is my profession, and basic functionality come up fast. My idea is now live and work here. Now the second part. How to tell the world about how good the new service is? How to ask people's feedback and make the service they'll actually love? This field is unclear for me. Are you in the same position? Are you built something and looking for users to gather feedback and continue development? Thinking about creating user community around your product or service? This is where startup people can help each other. Startup people can be each other honest supporter and beta tester. Startup people can give feedback to other startups, and receive feedback back from them. Startups can help each other to grow and mature, and to form a supportive community around. So here is my manifesto. I am willing to be beta user and provide feedback for a product or service I will find interesting. I will ask for feedback on talkinghub service and propose other startups to review. Are you a startup looking for feedback? Post your product or service here. Do you find talkinghub idea interesting, or have improvement proposal? Please provide your feedback here. Do you have other thoughts on how startups can collaborate to help each other? We would love to read your ideas here. Good luck then.
