Another Weekend Over ....

.... and I've not reached the target of 100 words on the site :(

I posted a link on a fellow IT contractor's forum on Friday and thought that it may generate a few words. It did, unfortunately, most of them had to be deleted due to the unsuitability!

I believe that most people assume that the unsuitable, vulgar posts on the net are from teenagers. I'm not so sure. I believe that they are widespread across the whole spectrum of internet users.

Anyway, 41 words (lots added by me). I need to think how I can generate more visitors to the site. Ho hum.

Day Two - Feedback

Some interesting feedback on the site received today.

• "Why can't we scroll the site like Google maps".
  Nice idea. I'll look into this. I'd need to cache more data to allow quick smooth scrolling but I agree that it would look really neat.
  
• "I scrolled about, ending up on a blank page and couldn't find my way back"
  Good point. I will add a button that will allow quick navigation to a random point in the grid (one with some words).
  
• "A bitmap overview showing the whole grid would be cool"
  What a great idea. I'll look into this too.

Some nice feedback there. Looks like I may be busy for a while.

Remember if you have any feedback send it to me at webadmin@webwideword.com

Visit the page again tomorrow - Thursday nights are good for me as the rest of the family sit down to watch "Grey's Anatomy" (I dislike medical programs) so I get an hour or two uninterrupted development time.

WebWideWord is Launched

WebWideWord launched today at http://www.webwideword.com

WebWideWord is aiming to be the world's largest word grid. It allows anyone with a valid email address the opportunity to put a link to their site on the crossword style grid with a hyperlink to their site and a tooltip allows further description.

Puzzled? Why not head over there and see for yourself.

For the more technically minded to server side code is written in C# and the database is Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

I'm hoping for 100 word by the weekend - please help me reach the target.
