I agree about the rating system. A better consultant may be rated lower
than a lower level consultant simply because of a difference in standards by
the people who did the rating.
The "thethin.net recommended" sounds like an awesome idea. However, I would
recommend some kind of controls. I don't think someone should be
recommended simply by paying. That could weaken the reputation of thethin
if people misrepresent themselves. Thethin is probably the most
comprehensive and respected site on thin client technologies. I would like
to see it stay that way.
With regard to the fee, is this a one time fee or an annual fee?
Lastly, would you be setting this up for individuals, companies, or both?
PJ
