Please let me know what you think of it. Thanks.

Basically, I am still working on my project of storing data and information and an easily searchable way from anywhere, while also being able to share that info if you wish as well as get comments on it (ideally adding to the data or information stored). Blogging does this and along with link sharing, i think people having their own personal knowledge base is something that can be easily done (once set up that is...)

So I am just wondering if anybody here uses the services and what they think of it. On weekends and on days I am not working (or not tired to the bone) I am working/coding/playing with DX and Blog Navigator to figure out how to combine all of this to create a system where people can create their own information storage place (for work, school, shopping, job search, teaching and other).

I have a Save This account that does this (Save This.com) but it is expensive to use for a really small company or just someone playing around with ideas (like me), but it does the same stuff in a way.



Well, enough blah blah. I am just wondering if anyone has used it and what they think of it.
Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it.

No, its more like Joe User where you can really interact with people who post the links they find on the net. You can even grab the for yourself if it looks interesting enough.

You're basically sharing links and talking about them. Save This doesn't allow for people to comment on your links. Pluck.com doesn't either.

I found another site called Digg.com that works ok. I just wonder when I will fund one that does it all.

I reciently came acrosss Digg.com as a great place to store and share links, get comments on them as well.

The only problem with it is that if you want to keep a link of a duplicate article, you can't (or shouldn't). Digg (much like Delicious want one link on a story. Te problem with that is that some of the links are not very good article write ups. So you can end up with a les informative link then the one you would have put up.

I have decided to work with Save This of which is more free as to what you upload as a link and will work with you to create a site that does what you want (of which is comments on links by others).

I do like Digg allot though and I think I will combine the 2 so that when you click to save a link for Save This, you also can add it to Digg as an option (that way if the article is already on Digg, you won't put it up, but you still have your link to the place where you feel is better)

I think with DesktopX, I could probably make a browser that allows for this douple use of Save This and Digg. It can interact with Blog Navigator or maybe I can create a Javascript like Save This has and all you have to do is drag and drop the link into your toolbar (that would work for Firefox, Netscape, Opera and IE)


I think a combo of all three (a javascript, a Blog Navigator plug-in to DX, and a DX browser specially made for Knowledge Net), but that will take oooodles of time.

Well anyway...
