Weekly Implosion: My Latest Site

Written by Jason Boom on June 15, 2008 – 9:25 am

I have a lot of enthusiasm for the Internet. The sheer volume of things I can learn really sparks my interest. This is why I do all my work behind a computer, forsaking my eyes and back for an opportunity to learn and invest in website development and blogging. Is there a better way to live?

I’ve been dropping Entrecards this week, trying to softly launch a new website I started. I’m going to showcase the site later on this week, but I’m a little nervous. Here’s why. I thought of the site idea last February. The premise was to help bloggers gauge what’s wrong with their site. [site's trademark secrets removed] Alas, I’m too much of a newb with PHP and MySql to make the site work without spending thousands of dollars I don’t have. I went the more economical route.

I changed the idea, for now. The site is a Yahoo! Answers type site. It’s specifically setup for bloggers. You can ask questions, answer other peoples questions and earn points for doing it. The site is very infantile right now, but it is ready to use. To bootstrap its use, I’m offering 50 EC credits to the users who write the first 50 questions on the site. There’s a limit of five questions a day.

So my question to you, readers. Do you like the site? What could be improved? Do you think you would use the site? Is it a waste of time? Let me know what you think in the comments section.

Hi Jason,

I’ve registered. And when I login, it redirects me and logs me out. I couldn’t post any questions. I am user ‘harmony’.

Overall, I think it’s a good idea for a site.

Yeah, for some reason you have to select remember me, when you login. I’m working on fixing this. Thanks for pointing that out!

registered and asked. I have a couple of questions in relation to a project that’s nearly ready to go live. Only thing is, not really a blog as such but still looking for ideas on multiple subjects like, gaining a good subscription base, good backlinks, approaching blogs/websites that would benefit this project without being dis-repectful or desperate, list goes on lol. Idea is great. ^ Can you delete previous comment.
