why, why at all? Good question... my original thought was that it would be a great place to forge partnerships, link exchange programs, meet suppliers, technology providers and infrastructure providers and even end customers in the field for web services.

I find that very difficult to do currently as the data and secure access is scattered all over the place.

I am willing to challenged in this assumption of mine and I agree that I am just starting with tools for only a fraction of that vision and will have to figure out the rest as I go along.

I agree with the need for the filter... I thought about that too.. but I want to start off with the easier definition to begin with just so I can get something off the ground.

Bloggers will be a very important part of the whole thing and is included in my definition of website owners. When the site is fully ready, they will be handled as a special case.

This was thought provoking. Thanks a lot.
