Welcome to the PaperShare Revolution!
I’m very happy to announce the official release of thePaperShare Social Content Network for our first industry: Cloud computing & Virtualization
I want to thank the thousands of Beta users and welcome our new users to what I feel is a revolution in resource consumption and sharing!
What is PaperShare and why is it so revolutionary?
To answer this I would like to give you some background on what went into building and designing PaperShare and explain why you will find PaperShare to be the ultimate in finding, sharing, and meeting the best of the best!
In January 1999, I built my first web site (DABCC.com) with the simple goal of sharing information. I wanted to create a site where people could come to find the latest and greatest resources. If you remember the web in early 1999 you will remember a very static place. The information available in those days was sparse and like today scattered all over the place. The goal for DABCC was simple, to create, find, and assemble the best of the best in one place so you don’t have to go look for it yourself.
Over the years DABCC.com grew to be a powerhouse of a site and has served up hundreds of millions of pages to tens of millions of users with stellar results, but in the beginning of 2010 I started thinking there has to be a better way. Even with all the enhancements in web technologies over the 11 years since DABCC.com was built most sites and the experience of finding and sharing killer content is still more or less a static one with almost zero deep human interaction. Of course there are comments and the ability to “email a friend” but whom are the people leaving those comments? Are you similar to them? Is “emailing a friend” the best we can do? I wanted to update this experience and take resource sharing to the next level, one that is quicker, easier, and one where you can dive down into the people who download and leave comments to find out more about them and their interests! Heck, I wanted to leap frog everyone out there and bring to you resource sharing 3.0!
