Skribit
You will notice an addition to the sidebar on the right hand side of seandareonline.com. I have added a widget called Skribit. Skribit allows you the reader to submit blogging topics. You can also vote on topics already listed in the Skribit window. If a topic gets suggested, and then gets a lot of votes, it then becomes the topic of a blog post. It is a way for you the reader to tell me what you want to hear about. You can learn more about Skribit at www.skribit.com.
I first heard about Skribit from one of it's creators, Paul Stamatiou, on his excellent blog which I highly recommend (www.paulstamatiou.com). Paul personally emailed me about a problem I was having getting the widget to work. As a business man he is first class all the way.
Skribit was created by Paul Stamatiou and a small group of programmers in a Startup Weekend. Startup Weekends are where you take the time a startup company usually takes to launch a new product and compress it down in to one weekend. From Paul's posts on the subject it sounded pretty intense. I urge you to read more about the Startup Weekend and Paul's involvement in it by clicking here and here.
So what do you think about Skribit? (Feel free to answer in a post or by suggesting a post topic in the Skribit window)
