It seems that most Web developers, or people involving in new startups like to challenge themselves in preparing and developing new Web 2.0 sites in a supreme short timeframe. Skillbit, still under rapidly development, is a new project that is still underway at the Adobe offices. This project was also sponsored by Adobe, amongst some other sponsors, created as a Web 2.0 targeted at businesses where they can set up a network that employees can use to share their skills, and learn more about their coworkers. It is created as part of the Startup Weekend, despite the fact that not much information can be found on the Skillbit site, at the time of my writing, but we probably know that the people involved in Skiibit are excited and working very hard in delivering this project on time.
According to Startup Weekend, there are 122 were in attendance before decided on Skillbit project. We probably know what are the problems that they are facing when they started this project, such as keyword research, Web site architecture, writing content for the Web pages and splash pages, and etc. from one of the their posts in addition to the definition of Skillbit.
Skillbit is planned to be launched at 9pm tonight. Given the short time frame, we can conclude that an exciting project can also be delivered in a couple of hours if we see this site goes live by then.
hmm, interesting, but still - I guess I don’t see what is ‘better’ than Good reads here. perhaps you mentioned it in the article, but for some reason, I just don’t see anything that jumps out at me as a big ‘win’ for changing from Goodreads over to readernaught.
is it the abbility to buy from Amazon that would make me want to switch? that’s the only thing that I see that might differentiate it.
oh well, I’ll keep looking on the web to see if there is an article that mentions what sets readernaught apart from goodreads.
thanks for the basic info. though.
Wade -out.
