New Features For Fast Company Dot Com Website - Please Add, Edit, Delete

Hi All:

What features would you like
to see on the Fast Company Dot Com website?

• Board Folders covering all topics in
  what C-serve calls forums. Folders’ categories are hyperlinked. Under each
  board folder is listed the total number of messages and the time of the
  last posting.
• A Digest of what is available including the
  topic name, msg subject header, number of views, name of last poster and
  date.
• A very understandable individual listing
  style of each message including its numerical position in the thread,
  ie. 2 of 21, date and time posted, poster’s name, who replying to and a
  number coding that can be used as part of a sophisticated bulletin board
  search.
• Visual Map In Tree Form – see who responded
  to whom with date and time.
• A
  Leader Board – called “Top
  Contributors In This Forum” on SM
  BZ– changes based on what topic area was being viewed.
• Most
  Recent Post – some forum
  bulletin boards have graphic icons to indicate particularly active topics,
  questions answered, updated since last visit. SM BZ has a legend with
  icons.
• Tagging
  – on Small BZ this is called
  “What Members Are Talking About”
• Filtering
  – Allows for narrowing of search
  via drop menu and sometimes includes number of listings per page.
• Fast
  Search – see Compuserve example.
  Should be key word at least and should search current and archived posts.

  back – useful when FC posts are
  added to blogs and bulleting boards outside of the FC website. Also
  applies to posts added from other web sources.
• RSS
• Open ID

  via e-Mail
