Hey guys,

Just launched a small site on the side with a small team and we're looking for a group of beta users to play around with the site and give feedback.

The Site:

http://www.thinkingsmartr.com

The Lowdown:

Thinkingsmartr is (hoping to become) the world's largest, collaborative suggestion box. The site allows you to create any topic you want (by default, you become the editor of each topic you create) and encourages you and others to collectively make suggestions that would improve the topic.

Each suggestion is voted on by the community and the best suggestions float naturally to the top while the least important suggestions fall to the bottom. The hope is that with enough passionatte users discussing their ideas to better a topic --- people will take note and the best suggestions will actually take foot.

For instance, say you have a bunch of ideas to make TV.com better. Go ahead and start the TV.com topic and post some suggestions to help make TV.com a better place. Others can then come in and vote on your suggestions (as well as make suggestions of their own) and with any luck your suggestions will actually be implemented on the site (please note -- this is not a garauntee that all or any suggestions will be fulfilled -- but I will personally be keeping an eye on that particular topic ).

What we need:

A passionate group of users to play with the site and give us feedback on features you would like to see as well as bugs you come across as you use it. We also encourage you to spread the word --- as more get people involved, the more interesting and fun the site will be.

 

Thanks guys

We just optimized the 'Reviews' tab (and subtabs) across all showspaces. There are some lingering cache issues which should be cleared up shortly -- but let us know if these pages are loading faster for you - thx

We have found the bug and will be remedying it shortly. You will all have the appropriate contribution points for your submissions and correct editorships by tomorrow morning. Thank you for your patience. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Hey folks, we just pushed a small flash video player along with shows that have 5 or more videos attached to them.

Check it out on the Arrested Development showspace:

Feedback or bugs as you see them - thanks.

Guys -> a quick update:


We just fixed a bug that was preventing you from submitting links with commas in the filename. So now, for instance - a link like:



http://people.aol.com/stories/230,3240,023.html



will submit properly. However, please note that commas are only allowed in the filename, and are not allowed anywhere else in the url. So, a link like:



http://people.aol.com/stories,goodstories/2303240023.html



will not work.
