Newsletter from Apsense – Aug 20, 2007

I am still a member in fast growing Apsense Social Business Network, so I wonder if you (those of you who didn’t join yet but are thinking about this) would be interested in some updates? So here is the latest newsletter from Apsense:

Apsense – Driven by YOU!

Top It? At Apsense the quality of the contents are decided by our users through a simple rating system. If you see contents that think is good and deserves more attention, just take a few seconds to click the “Top It” button. The more votes and good ratings a particular content receives, the higher it will be listed in our listings and search results.

Drop It? On the other hand, if you see contents that are spam, off-topic, or just simply low quality you can likewise click on “Drop It” . This is how users can filter out all the bad contents out of our system to make good quality contents faster and easier to locate.

New Group Directory Added – Make Sure Your Group is in it!

We just added a “Group Directory” please make sure your group is in a category by ….

1 – Going to “Group Discussions” on the top main menu
2 – Click on “View My Joined Groups” and then select your groups under “My Own Groups”
3 – Click on one of the groups you have created and then click on “Edit Group”
4 – Select one of the categories that best suits your group and click “Submit”

One of our staff will put your group in a category on Monday if you did not get a chance to do this. You can also edit the category your group is in if for whatever reason it is not put in the category of your choice.

New Signature File Feature Approved by Many Apsense Users

Everyone agrees that signature files are a great way to promote business because it’s NOT advertisement! It’s usually just 2 or 3 subtle short lines that informs people your name, business url and maybe a motto of your business. The purpose of a signature file is to make it short, clear and to the point. Read more about this subject here: http://www.apsense.com/subject/15564.html

SPAM System Dropped

After weeks of observation we have completely eliminated the spam system. So Apsense users will no longer have to worry about spam ratings, spam scores and spam reports. However this does not mean there will be a rampage of spammers because we’ve implemented the “Top It or Drop It” rating system. Contents that are irrelevant will be dropped to the bottom of the list (but not deleted). So please keep your blogs, discussions and comments informative, relevant and useful to readers.

And for all bloggers I have created group called “Blogging and Bloggers“. Feel free to join!
