OWG,
By the way how is you search engine/web directory project coming, a launch date in sight yet?

 

[OldWelshGuy]

It is going to be at least two months in reality, as we have a few jobs on the go that need finishing first.

 

[Pentarix]

That is very interesting, I can imagine that it would be a lot of work, I can't wait to hear more!

I see, please let us know when its ready.

Be sure you have a Family Category M8

 

[OldWelshGuy]

duke, family-friendly.co.uk is aone of the projects we are working on for launch this year sometime

 

[Duke]

If you need any help, let me know.

BTW, there's a number of "Family Friendly" directories and sites out there, the problem with most of them is that half or more than half of their listings go nowhere. Will you have a spider or something that checks to see if your listings are still valid?

 

[OldWelshGuy]

We do have a spider that goes out and checks for broken links, it then suspends the listings, and gives us a report of bad sites, and visits them later. Hopefully there will not be any dead links from the site, but you never know how things will pan out. never say never is the way.

We want the site to be comprehensive, so we will be making it free inclusion, but will only allow proper sites in. By proper read sites that are non spam and that people have put thought into. We will make money by selling sponsorships in the various categories, and this option will be on a first come first served basis in each cat.

I hope you will let us know when it is done.

Lovely

Well we finally decided on the name and registered it. We had a few and eventually went with 'netnibbler' the line we are taking is 'nibbling the best bits on the net', My tagline of 'nibbling your best bits' was overruled . We will have some sort of animal nibbling logo, although I think a mouse has been a bit overdone, so we might make an animal up.

 

[Lanre]

I tried to imagine which animal will nibble at a net, but couldn't come up with any thing intresting. I know water mammals the prey on fish will nibble at a net to eat a snagged fish. Anyway my favourite nibbler is the hippo
Can't wait t see your final choice

 

[temi]

Net Nibbler,
If you can't thik of an animal just choose and abstract item as your logo. That could work well in the absence of a net nibbling animal

 

[OldWelshGuy]

I was thinking of a mammoth eating a tiny triangular sandwich or the like. I will make it a little nit quirky as I like that sort of thing. I am open to suggestions though.

That would be a facinating logo

 

[Pentarix]

I was picturing a little green monster with his claws into the word net while chewing a chunk out of it.

Perhaps OWG should get contest going, you will be surprised what brilliant ideas people come up with all for free.

I did not like the logo I created for this site originally, I throw the ideas to members and on member called novocane who used to be active in the past came up with the logo we have at the moment, its not perfect but 100 better than the logo I originally created.

Pen,
I take it this is a joke, I think the logo should be forward looking and not backwards.

 

[Pentarix]

but of course, don't mind my weak sense of humor

 

[OldWelshGuy]

I thought of having a nasty old fish chewing at a tiny kids fishing net of the sort kiddies use to catch tadpoles etc.

I did think of a pink odball mammoth alien hybrid eating something tiny etc. Still bouncing ideas around at the moment, as I have only concentrated on the usability operation and revenue areas so far.

If it wasn't copyright you could use nibbler from futurama:
