Hey Mike,
I would love to get your feedback on this http://coursebacon.com/ http://coursebacon.com/. The basic idea behind CourseBacon is to help you identify the best free online learning resources.
For the "star algorithm" I am pulling backlinks from Google, SEOmoz and Twitter.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance,
Carl
- eranation 14y agoI like it... tip - use embed.ly to get better favicon / image / title / desc to the course list, will look much more of a list than a search engine result...
- mikegreenberg 14y agoThis. Would add a LOT to your experience.
- mikegreenberg 14y agoNot sure what you meant about "star aglorithm" but if you're talking about the social proof at the bottom of the course description, it's a nice touch. The site is straightforward. I see the reviews, but is there something more going on here that I'm not noticing? Why would someone want to use your site instead of Google? I think an online course review site is nice, but there's a lot more that you could possibly do here. Why not setup "degree" programs which are a curated selection of courses from across the net and lead people down a journey on a specific topic? Why not instructor profile pages that can track the quality of the sum of their materials online? Maybe these points don't matter if this is just something you're doing for fun. But if this is for profit, I'm not sure where you business model is. (And I'd be happy to discuss the above ideas with you.) Just my two cents. PS: Would LOVE to see a way to delete my account afterward.
- carlsednaoui 14y agoThanks a lot for your suggestions mike and eranation. Will definitely work on that next weekend!
