New and Improved Music 2.0 Directory
Jun 21 2007, 3:46 PM EDT
http://rocketsurgeon.squarespace.com/music-20-directory/

A while back, I started this wiki with the goal of creating the ultimate Music 2.0 Directory. Unfortunately, it was pretty much a total bust. The community generated entries were poorly written/categorized, spam showed up regularly, and I did not have the bandwidth to play editor-in-chief. Lucky for the rest of us, Jadam Kahn (aka RocketSurgeon) has never been a fan of most wiki UIs - he says "they are confusing, have a terrible navigation schema, and are difficult to maintain, especially when open to the public (don’t get me wrong, they have their time and place and can be a very useful tool for certain situations)." So, to solve this dilema he created a new and improved Music 2.0 directory. The new directory uses a blog approach - each listing is essentially a blog entry. He feels this approach has many advantages that are apparent in the new directory including:

* Listings can have multiple categories
* Users can browse companies by category
* User can browse companies alphabetically
* You can subscribe to a RSS feed to keep track new entries.
* Users can comment on each company
* Users can rate each company
* Editorial control over listings


Take a look and let him know what you think.
