Chanced upon this site from renowned "blogvertising" guru Hugh MacLeod. Here's an interesting concept that involves compiling a community "list" that gets longer and more segregated as time passes.
The objective? Well as explained in Hugh's words:
This wiki is designed to give bloggers a place where they can centrally collate their links for whatever reason: Work, jobs, love, networking, friendship, apartments, furniture, cars, arranging geek dinners etc etc. Go ahead and build, design, improve and contribute to it as you see fit, in whatever manner works best for you. I'll pay for the bandwidth.
The Hughpage wiki is up and at your disposal.
Just blogged that you're looking for a job? Then go put the link in the jobs section.
Just blogged that you're looking for a date? Then go put your link in the dating section.
Just blogged about needing an apartment? The real estate section.
Just blogged about something that doesn't have a section? Then create a new section by yourself. No need to ask first. Exactly.
Check out The Hughpage.
The Hughpage has arrived. Enjoy!
There is nothing open source in that service. It's about ideas, not software. "Creative Commons" would be more like it.
the term open source has been expanded to accomodate a community based effort, as pointed out by hugh. its part of his work as a "blogvertising" consultant.
