It’s still early, but I wanted to quickly show what we’re working on. It allows anyone to get/give 10 minutes of free advice. :-)

- pauljarvis 11y agoI'm digging it!
- karjaluoto 11y agoThanks Paul—it’s great having you on there as an advisor! We’re awfully happy that people like you are willing to share your knowledge with others. :-)
- dc2 11y agoLooks pretty cool. One piece of advice that will IMHO make or break the usability of the site: You are going to need to add tags and / or filtering options for the skillsets of the advisors. Reading a one-to-two-sentence bio of each advisor to find out what they do is not very workable.
- karjaluoto 11y agoIt’s definitely in the works. We just had to prioritize tasks so we could get a prototype in users’ hands. (Because once we did, we found a lot of things that needed fixing.) Plus, when we started, categorization wasn’t that big of a deal—just because there were so few advisors on the site. That said, the list quickly grew, and a number of folks asked us to add this. Chat functionality is our priority at this moment. Once that’s done, we’ll get the categories and tags in place.

- dc2 11y agoNice and good luck :)
- karjaluoto 11y agoThank you—we’re putting everything we have into making this good! We certainly have lots of work to do, but I feel like this thing could benefit a lot of people. :-)
