Really like the idea of browsing knowledge instead of searching it. Have you noticed people discovering books they wouldn't have found through a traditional search?
Not so much for individual searches, but for types of information. I have had people ask for hexagons covering ceramics, knitting, art, and other hexagons. A lot of the public domain sites are very generic. They are designed to promote popular subjects. Most of the tracking is at the hexagon level. Each hexagon has its own URL. I can add unique categories like Wisdom Literature, Visual Novels, Ancient Romance books. I can more easily add customizable subjects. The cortex map allows for a kind of browsing by subject. Once the subject is there, they go and find individual books. Through trial and error I managed to set it up so I can drop a full hex list of books in one step. It is kind of like a subject bibliography.
I am finding that crafts as a subject is somewhere between science and knowledge. People argue about whether a craft is an art or more related to science with things like glass blowing or welding. There are other things like how Greek drama basically set the standard on the types of shows we watch even today with television with its basic set of categories. There are other things like the further back you go, the more basic the categories. Since the beginning schooling both in the Egyptian scribal schools and the Eduba has been about reading, writing, arithmetic, and morals. People seemm to want to keep the morals part out of it but it existed in Egypt and Mesopotamia as kings lists, wisdom literature, and religion. The kings lists seem to be the original political documents. You can watch the subjects expand as you go forward in time.
I am looking for use cases and testimonials for the site which I created. If you have any suggested uses or experiences let me know. It would be helpful to see how people use the site as well as positive statements about the site. I need them to be from people that have some separation from me. I don't want to make things up.
Yeah, you're completely right. A lot of them don't put their location on their profile, and their stats really vary. But I've noticed many US users do add their location.Talking about that, I will add stats on what percentage are located
