::::Now, while we're quite accomplished at criticizing other sites, what about Centiare? What is lacking that is preventing rapid growth? Is it technical? We have every feature/function as Wikipedia + enhancements. Is it marketing ie just brute force market awareness? Or is it something else more intangible? What are your suggestions?

I just had an idea that might bring us a good share of traffic, if we had any assurance that Google is spidering the site on a frequent enough basis (or we ping Google manually).  What if we tried to pick out some "hot" news stories that are brewing in the Wikipedia, Slashdot, and Digg communities, then write an informative article about the subject, while people are in heavy "search mode" for more information?  For example, this whole "Ryan Jordan / Essjay" fiasco at Wikipedia unraveled over the course of about 7 days.  How many people during that time were searching for "Ryan Jordan Wikipedia" or "Essjay Wikipedia" during that time?  Think if we had an article about it on Centiare, as the story was brewing, we would have gotten a lot of hits?  I think so.  Next story that I see unfolding on an "obscure" topic that has the potential to "explode", I'll give it a shot.  Can't hurt. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 21:23, 5 March 2007 (PST)

:It sounds like your's would be linked to main space articles. If the news/current events were related to entities/persons, we could also create directory listings (stubs) in which to run aficionados tags. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 07:46, 6 March 2007 (PST)
