Hi, I saw you logged onto my own dusty bunny story on Planet Jan. I love your photos. Ugh! It’s probably what lurks inside my computer at school, but I don’t want to know. It’s like when you eat out - You don’t want to know what goes on in the kitchen.

Comment on Social Networking for Nurses :: Nurse Linkup by Nurse Phillip

Hello,
I love the new NurseLinikUp! The old website was boring, old fashioned and DID NOT WORK!
I’ve used Joomla and it’s a perfect fit for us nurses - easy to use, full of great features and the layout is clean and uncluttered.
In my opinion, the new development team at Online LinkUp understands how to put a social networking site togther. It’s pretty obvious the previous team di’nt have a clue - and that includes those associated with them. Cheers! Phil

I was a member of the first nurse linkup in April - May of last year. I was not too impressed with the site. I have stumbled upon this article once again a year later, and was quite intrigued when I visited the new nurse linkup. The site is much easier to use, and has more for its members to do. It is a very clean site, looks professional.

@Rooster
It appears you may of known someone in their first iteration that fueled your response. I think the new guys are doing it right, I have used joomla on other sites, they have molded it into an entirely new feel. The site is much more efficient than the first version. Were you an actual member? or just a passer by? A big improvement with member features if you have not yet signed up to their new site.

Great work with the new version I am excited to see what the development team does next.

@johnny & rooster
The best part about the new nurse linkup that you both left out .
It Works! So many sites I visit have errors and time out.

@Johnny Not sure I agree with your assessment on the previous iteration of the site. I thought it had remarkable potential the way it was.

I am not sure I could positively review the service as it now stands. Joomla as a platform? No social networking options for sharing, confusing layout and site nav, poor design. There may well be a future for what your trying to do but based on the standard of other social networking sites and services, as the site is now - there is no comparison. The site is way below par.

Changing the platform and structure was not the best decision to make. But then that is my opinion and I wish you the best.

Hello Everyone,

Rooster I really enjoyed this review, however it is two platforms old, maybe you would like to re-review the latest version?

NurseLinkUp has gone through many changes in the past several months. It now features a much easier to use interface. “Simple For Everyone” is the goal for all of our sites.

People like Terry McDermott ^^ and previous OnlineLinkUp employees failed to grasp the concept of “Simple”. Now 2 years after the company formed, there is finally something everyone can enjoy.

We are now accepting Nurses from the entire world, feel free to give us a visit!

Dave

The good old days.

I was a cross between uncommitted and too cool for school, we sat at the back because we could, but always wanted the quick exit.

Comment on Making Skype More Profitable and Ultimately Better by kuma

kuma — Fri, 16 May 2008 02:38:36 +0000

i’d pay a wee bit more if the functions i desire so so long can be worked on with just a bit of more money from every user. I’d pay for that record button and I’d pay even more for better call quality. The reason I refrain from skype is just i heard so many bad things about calling online, the reason why I stick to traditional cellphones and phone booths for international call. Or I just use emails with visuals anyway.
