Technology Mashup

I've been pretty quiet over the past week or two as I've been working behind the scenes trying to upgrade the platform, implement new features and generally tidy up the content.

The tag cloud is still a primary form of site navigation and this is collaboratively driven by author contributions.

I've also implemented high level mashup pages. These are accessible through the primary navigation links. Essentially the mashups combine tags I've assigned from various domains, sorts them, removes duplicates and then presents them in descending chronological order. So for example the Social Media Mashup pages is an aggregator combining tags such as "Social Media", "Facebook", "MySpace" etc.

All pages you hit via tags are exposing RSS, so if you want to mashup our content via the tag cloud, feel free! I've not enabled RSS for the mashup pages, but that's on the to do list.

Quite a bit of time got burned wrestling with theme issues on IE6 (a browser I do not really love). Hopefully that's now sorted (or at least usable). I recommend IE7 or Firefox though as IE6 is a flaky browser.

More features in the pipeline now we have the base platform sorted.
