Correct, it would definitely be a "worldwide" database as I did mention
state/country below in my second sentence. : )

I like the idea.

Have to say though, you mentioned in a previous post that the forum is
worldwide and should be capable of reflecting that in this regard.

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.
