18 months since I last left a comment here (see response number 2); How many of the points does http://www.BestConnected.ie (Enterprise Ireland latest blog in the software area) address?

By my count, it goes some way towards;
1) Social – all the EI authors on the blog are available via LinkedIn (click on the Author Name)
2) Blog and RSS feed – all on the site (uses WordPress)
3) -
4) Search – work in progress
5) Feedburner subscription to mailing lists / RSS
6) Enterprise Ireland people in US and Germany also posting to this blog, look forward to more from other locations.
7) Events – big tick here!
8) Works in Firefox (my own preference), Chrome and IE – let me know if there are
9) Emphasis on using HTML, but uses PDF as format for documents (see software strategy on the ‘about’ page).

It also highlights EI clients (see the company profiles section) and has channels for the software area(s) that you’re interested in (Currently Public Sector, Finance, Health & Life Sciences, Cloud, but open to suggestions!

Let me know the next lot of ideas :-) .

Thanks

Paul

The objective of this network is to improve online connectedness between the ICT industry and the scientists and teams carrying out funded ICT research in Irish Academic institutions. If you’re interested in learning, networking and connecting with researchers and entrepreneurs, you should join up.

I expect great things….

Also on a personal level, just in response to (1) above Joe, there is an existing extranet facility on the site, which could easily be built on to deliver the services you’ve mentioned.

- There should have more information about client companies i.e. if Putplace is EI supported, the it should be profiled and linked to from the EI site (another boost for the credibility / Google page rank)

- I’d extend your comment about search engines, but bring it down to a sector level; you only want to see information relevant to your area and the stage in your companies development.

I would have added Event RSS feeds, but Conor beat me to it :-)

I want a multitude of different ways of knowing about all of them. RSS, iCal, Upcoming.org. Google Calendar etc etc.

I shouldn’t have to go looking to see what’s coming up and I shouldn’t need my D.A. to let me know about important ones or have EI staff being used up sending email reminders to thousands of people.
