Karen, Greg mentioned that you may be interested in some other MediaWiki extensions. Feel free to forward any recommendations/suggestions you may have.

What I'm particularly interested in is adding both Craigslist type classified advertising & eBay like auction marketing to Directory listings, along with the youTube extension.

You probably know where we're going with this - if you come across anything, could you let me know? Otherwise, I may have to cobble something together myself from scratch. Centiare 13:41, 11 December 2006 (PST)

Subsidiary listings

Karen, I've been talking to Greg about an easy way for you to create separate listings for your various blog properties, and then summarizing them at your primary Directory listing. You can see an example schedule at MyWikiBiz. We can go over a slightly more automated approach if you're interested. Centiare 13:38, 19 December 2006 (PST)

ASK

Example of others that have listed OMG as a friend:

<ask> OmniMediaGroup </ask>

This is exactly how one would create a query to list all subsidiaries of a given company, properties/websites/blogs controlled by an individual, papers/presentations given by an academic, etc.

Family on Centiare

Based on a conversation I had with Dad this morning, I think we're mere hours away from him opening an account on Centiare. Pretty amazing when a new Internet space utilizing the cutting edge in semantic technology can draw in a 73-year-old man whose most recent programming tasks were probably in COBOL. --Gkohs 08:58, 30 December 2006 (PST)

Semantic tags

Considering the (apparent) positive impact on Google SEO, I would recommend that you build into your various directory pages:

  1. Intra-Centiare wiki-links
  2. Semantic tags (even the State of Georgia "belongs" to Country:USA, you know?)
Keep having fun, OMG. --MyWikiBiz 09:52, 9 January 2007 (PST)
Karen, I went ahead and created the following four relations for the state listings. You can link through to each one, as well as the relation definition itself, which has a summary ASK query:
I've updated your North Carolina listing for these 4 tags. I also created Attribute:Year Admitted as a replacement for Year Started. If you want, I can create four more attributes along the lines of city of, has city, has county, & county member of. Let me know. Centiare 12:26, 12 January 2007 (PST)
