Peter, thanks for the link to gojobby.com. Too bad I didn’t patent this when I had the chance. ;-)

David,

Sadly, I have not. Too many ideas, too little time. :-)

Hi Jason,

Liked your comments re the “skills tracking”. Seems to be a more dynamicly efficent way of doing it.

Have you amde any progress on this to date?

And hosted groupware like Joyent supports tagging of contacts/profiles. Even better, the same tags can be used to mark events, mail etc then you can create a bundle which pulls in information from disparate sources under the same set of tags (e.g. Show me everything with the tags J2EE AND InvestmentBanking).

The new version of Confluence has tagging I believe so as long as you can tag profile pages, this should be very feasible.

Knee-jerk reactions suck. Implicit knee-jerk reactions suck even more. Neither Rails nor Django will let you do the job 1000x faster and none of them will cure diseases while you’re sleeping. I use Django, and I think Django should be considered.

” The knee-jerk reaction by someone excited
by this idea would say Rails! or ‘Django!’ “

Nah, no one’s going to have a knee-jerk reaction to use Django ;-)
