Nice post. Seeing as that there are now so many social networks catering to such a wide range of niches, my biggest problem is finding ones relevant to me and related to my specific interests or product niches. Google seems to be inefficient and returns alot of irrelevant results. A cool resource that I use is this search engine designed specifically to find social networking sites.

I think social networking will offer pickings but it will just take a while to work out how.

Comment on ZDNet wins “Best business website 2007″ by Matt Loney

And Mike, it would never have happened without you!

You also like to know that at the inaugural Flackenhacks awards, ZDNet.co.uk walked off with another ward – this one for Best Business Tech Publication 2007.

This means that in addition to being judged the best business tech website by the AOP, who represent the publishing industry old and new, ZDNet.co.uk is also the best business tech publication (online or off) according to the UK tech industry.

This latest award was for the site (or publication) that has the most credibility. “We’re not after the one that looks best on top of a pile of clippings, or the one that’s done you the most favours this year…we’re after the one you go to for solid, unbiased (business) tech news, views and reviews,” it says here.

And I do think that the site build has helped a long way towards the credibility, giving the editorial team so much more space ad ways to experiment with online content types and of course the way we interact with our readers.

Comment on CMS evolution, publishing revolution? by Mike Barrett

Steve, Thanks for your comments, no I wasn’t involved in the site unfortunately, I just think it’s a great example of abstracting the content / functionality/ design layers in a way that everyone can understand. It’s built on a platform called Amaxus by Box UK who I was working with on another product of theirs, Clickdensity, see this post Mike
