OK, so if money was not an object (well it is for me, but let's put that aside for now) what would you want in a directory? What would make it absolutely amazing, unique, fresh, and usable, and more importantly would make you use it as a place to search/browse (not just submit) PMing ideas would be appreciated so that they can be unique +Rep for good ideas
your heart your own innovative thinking & ideas (not others) a lot of time a small to medium sized budget to obtain trusted links a simple flowing design
Ahh one of my favorite DP members Well I am hoping to spend a good bit fo time on this directory, and I have a couple of innovative ideas (or so I think) but I love to hear the feedback of others also. -PM sent about some mods
AJAX and I am diving into it these past few days for Dump's future. (ohhh such a bright bright future that directory is going to have. I shall dub it the 'real deal web 2.0' )
This was the goal of my directory, to be better. PM sent to give you the quick tour but please don't post as I don't want 100% of the people knowing 100% of my secrets so I'll just mention a few. USER MANAGED UNIQUE CONTENT. #1 priority because your link is only as good as the content surrounding it. Yes an0n, Ajax directories will be great, they are coming. Some ajax is already implemented in mine, check the sig. Such as . . . Users can rearrange the order of links with drag and drop Users can use my ajaxified search to check the term not only on my directory but also in blogs, google search & HERE AT DP Just be careful to not use too much ajax as it is not very SE friendly. You must have static URLs to get indexed.
Yes AJAX looks great .... I saw a wordpress theme based on a linux console screen .... using comands like 'ls' to list posts etc ... very interactive .... great stuff. But as bobby said ... Google will need to step up to the plate first ... But on a directory I think it would be great for a 'search' type interactive window ..... something to think about
