Tech Limelight
Creator: Marc MacLeod
Original Concept Conception: June 2006
Project Start Date: November 2008
Tech Limelight attempts to combine tools and services offered by a variety of websites in order to allow its users to easily find quality information on the products and technologies they are interested in.
Some run of the mill inspired features
- Digg - News stories sorted by rating
- Wikipedia - Wikis, including history
- Blogging - Content feeds, user micro-feeds, story comment systems
- Twitter - Follow a user to keep up to date with the content he/she is submitting
Other features
- Limelights
- Items (news stories, reviews, media, etc.) are no longer submitted to categories, but to Limelights. A Limelight is an area on the website that represents a single product or technology. It is the Limelight that belongs to one or more categories. A Limelight aggregates all of the information streaming in about a particular product or technology and presents it to the user in a logical way.
The key goals kept in mind while developing Tech Limelight were user experience, ease of content moderation, ease of finding quality content.
