Subject: [THIN] OT: Sorta...Idea....Consultants Consortium



Hi Everyone,
I just had an idea for thethin.net.  I constantly get people asking me
if I do consulting or know of someone.  I do refer them to people that I
know of who are good who are on the list.

What I would like to do is set up a Consultant referral service of Top
consultants in each state/country that thethin.net could refer people
to.  I would charge a nominal fee..maybe something like $50 to set up a
web page for each consultant and have it in a searchable database.  I
already have a system set up on WorldOfasp that does all of this with an
excellent "needs matcher wizard".  There is nothing else like this out
there! Go to http://worldofasp.com/ and click on the Find A provider
menu and choose needs matcher for a demo. I would modify the needs
matcher and pages for consultants and for choices related to Computing.
They  would be able to put their information in and maintain it via a
password protected page and resumes could be added if necessary. A lot
of work went into this system to build it and the disappointing ASP
industry has really made an excellent idea and utility go to waste.

Questions:
1. Would the consultants here be interested in these type of services?
2. Is a one time fee of $50 payable via Paypal(MC/Visa/Amex/Discover) a
reasonable amount to pay for such a listing and participation in the
Consortium or should it be more or less? 3. Would you be even more
interested if you had a "thethin.net recommended" type logo to add to
your business card? 4. Would a rating system be desirable? In other
words customers could rate the Consultants and the top ratings would
appear at the top of the results list.

What does everyone think.  If I get enough positive responses a system
could be put in place pretty quickly. Tell me if you think it is a
stupid idea or if there are already too many sites doing this. I know
there is nothing like our needs matcher wizard on worldofasp.com out
there cause we wrote it.
