Idea 2 - Regional web portals

view a random?

I am always amazed by the amount of content out there that is produced in New Zealand… Obviously this is the same all over the world, you often discover things going on in different countries before you realise it is also happening in the appartment beside you - perhasp not literally - but this is the way of the internet.

I have just come across this site: kiwi writers which seems to be a CMS based group for writing, including a community and writing resources. It is an idea I had a while ago - write a Sci Fi novel… then I thought other people must want to write a novel (duh!).. and ultimately, they could write a novel for me…

Sorry digression… a community of like minded people is always a good idea, especially if they can help contribute to your successes. But what if you can’t find the community you are looking for? Techquila Shots mentioned a user controlled search mechanism a while ago… I think this is a web directory - but with rankings etc it could be used as a search instrument… where users add sites and tools to the portal…

The end product is the most important web tools in the region are clearly visible links… the rest are there but are hidden or need to be searched for etc.
