Anyone can view the group content thanks to the relaxed permissions specified by whoever owns the group (Elias?). It's also publicly searchable. Only members can post (but that's just like a forum anyway). http:

I'd take it of Google Groups so that it is available to the public rather than just to members (i.e. more like a forum), making $ from may be a pipedream On Jun 13, 2:13 pm, Alex North wrote: > On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 11:52 PM, Chris Bayley,www.domainpartners.com.au< > > ch...@domainpartners.co

Hey, thanks for the Wave props, people. Unfortunately it's not *quite* ready for prime time. While it's not open to everyone I don't think it's the right approach (but I'm excited about it being part of one in the future). But I strongly support Elias's vision. There's no need for it to be a centr

I reckon... 1. get it off Google groups (with the data?) 2. Trial Wave API (for what it's worth - this should look after everyone's needs for a public voice currently delivered by blogs/UGC etc etc) 3. A crunchbase type thing 4. Make some money from it (prob need to go a bit more global or widen

Something like crunchbase (http://www.crunchbase.com/) would be awesome... And even greater layer of awesomeness would be some type of funding proposal system where by entrepreneurs registered to the system can put in private funding proposals that can be read by angel/VC users. On Tue, Jun 2, 2

[SiliconBeach] Re: "The Website" - Ideas for siliconbeachaustralia.org

Whatever is built could have some structure that defines groups by city, an 'area' that residents of a particular city would naturally gravitate. Grouping will encourage further involvement and connections interstate, lead by the thought and do leaders of that city group. Each city could have it

Nice. And instead of you having to add a profile; you instead markup a webpage from your company's website in a Microformat or something - and sba.org acts as an aggregator (or anyone else can do so - the data is reusable for people to innovate). You never need to upload data - just point to

[SiliconBeach] Re: "The Website" - Ideas for siliconbeachaustralia.org

I was thinking that we could have the following: - start up profiles, outlining who is actively working on what sites/businesses currently and also a hall of fame style section so new comers can see what has been done in the past - body of knowledge section which outlines some example documents l

[SiliconBeach] Re: "The Website" - Ideas for siliconbeachaustralia.org

Another possibility would be to set up something really simple on the site that allows for aggregation of the various other Australian sites mentioned earlier in the thread. Setting up a Gadget server (such as http://incubator.apache.org/shindig/) would hopefully let something be wired up that prom

Not another social network please! Let's do some forward thinking and incorporate trends like the data web, real time web, distributed social networking, etc. Less destination site, more of a network.

What is going to happen to all the startup events like StartUpCamp and BootUpCamp that are part of the current StartUp Australia Site. Will they remain part of the new site? GrowthTown have their new site launching soon, so will it still get a mention on the new site? What the new site needs is a s

Thanks for the feature discussion Tyrone. Can you explain what you would get out of a forum? How would that be different than this mailing list? (there is already a web-interface with threading support for this) Also, what types of things would you do with a wiki? To help jump start other ideas

If you're doing it as an exercise in Drupal, perhaps as a learning project for a bigger one, then fine. Ning would be fantastic for this unless there's already functionality that has been discussed offline. Anyway, if you are going to build it then I would look for a forum, a wiki and a Twi
