This is the second
last time I bother you with my project :-)
We are nearly
feature complete and ready for an official launch on
01/01/2004.
This is what I can
offer to the meteorite community (to be precise: what I can offer for the
meteorite community to do themselves there):
Announcements of
ebay auctions and site sales
News about
classification and meteorites in general
a forum for
discussions
a place where you
can show off your collection
a meteorite museum
(it already has 140 entries)
visual reports from
expeditions (4 there already)
visual reports from
meteorite shows (2 online now)
a gallery of
meteowrongs
banner advertising
for meteorite sellers
a calendar of
events
links to meteorite
sites
a place to post
articles
What will be added
within the next few days:
I will offer hosting
for meteorite related sites, including installation of the gallery program we
use
A possibility to
upload your collection catalogues and to share them with
others
So far, we have 59
members (membership is free) and app. 10.000 pageviews - it seems this portal is
well accepted.
What I am asking you
for now: If you have a site, please place a link to http://www.worldofmeteorites.com on
it. It will help us to get better rankings on search engines and in directories.
If everything works out nicely, WoMet will do two things for you: bring more
people to this great hobby and drive your sales and your ability to collect and
exchange meteorites. It is nothing I do, because I only give you the tools (and
you will notice that I do not, in any way, advertise my own sales there -
it is NOT my site, it's yours and ours). It will be something You
do.
Ah, yes, and I am
having GREAT fun doing all this :-)
Bernhard
