::I think it will help us to get quantity, and eventually, as the users mature, there will be more careful development of their pages -- either by themselves, or as a result of accepting "offers" to do so by '''MyWikiBiz''' or '''Page Creations''' types of stylists. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 15:07, 8 March 2007 (PST)

:::Admittedly, any form driven input will fall far short of the type of professional looking pages one can render at Centiare simply due to its fixed/static nature. I still thank our lucky stars that we decided, as one of our top priorities, to meet/exceed the capabilities of Wikipedia. This, in essence, means a free-form editing environment.
:::That being said, I've come full circle and now agree with Greg that we should have a simple/fast input capability as well. Even better, it doesn't necessarily have to appeal to business owners. It could work just as well, given the right incentives, where there could be tens/hundreds of young entrepreneurs under Garrett's direction quickly inputting business listings.
:::What's the payoff? How about the inclusion of an optional field where one could enter their Google Adsense account? That way, a quick 7-10 data element (name, address, phone, NAICS, zip, etc) entry could be made along with the originators' Adsense ads. To take it one step further, I could add other additional fields for interests, which then would be linked via aficionados from any Main page articles.
:::IOW, it would incentivize, in the same exact method as the [[Directory:Sylvie De Caluwé|Belgium Bomb]], the rapid build out of content. Except in this case someone could probably add 15+ entries per hour instead of one. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 17:31, 8 March 2007 (PST)
