Thanks to all who have stopped by Consumerpedia and made additions and suggestions!
As previously noted, we were just barely ready to get our "friends and family" alpha testers to take a first look at the rough build of the site when it got noticed by some prominent bloggers a few days ago (not that we are complaining or anything - just bummed that we did not have the "house cleaned and decorated" before so many honored guests showed up).
But there is absolutely nothing more motivating than live users on an unfinished site.
Along with all the great user feedback, we also finally got two of our alpha testers to sit down with us and they pointed out many obvious (to them, not to us!) things that needed to be addressed (thanks!)
Many changes will soon be coming to the Consumerpedia site - first addressing basic usability issues (doh!), then additional site functionality to follow after that.
So please keep your suggestions coming and forgive us if we neglect this blog for a while... :-)
I happened to discover Consumerpedia during a Google search. Coincidentally, I had been looking for something that I could use as an easy-to-use personal wiki. Obviously Consumerpedia isn't personal, but perhaps it is. I've started to add some information about my immediate geographical area; hope it's helpful.
