Earlier on in the development of the class and the website project, a class member questioned legal issues that could be associated with the Rate My Company website idea. Of course being my project I instantly wanted to say OF COURSE THERE ARE NO ISSUES but thought about it for a bit. I do feel that any public and social websites should have a clear disclaimer, with the help of some intelligent lawyers to separate themselves from any comments made on the website, but with the world of the we...

I still stand strong that while it is a rather basic ideas, there really isn't a stand up competitor to the idea of giving your company an evaluation or looking through company evaluations in one spot. LinkedIn is the only major general professional social network that I have actually heard of or see people use. If there are more, they definitely aren't making themselves well known. The use for LinkedIn seems more to communicate with other professionals in your field and make yourself shown ...

So HOW am I going to get this site to work? That's a very good question. I know HOW I want it to work, I know how I want people to interact with it, but it's the technology needs that are going to be the biggest mountain to climb.
If I want to keep this an automated site instead of publishing html for every company and every comment made, I need to wrap my head around the type of technology used by the current ratings sites I have been looking at to create this idea. Scripts to learn, boo...

My plan for 'Rate My Company' was born, not from other professional networking sites, but actually from back in the day during the first college degree when everyone would flock to Rate My Professors to figure out who to sign up for and who to avoid class wise. A little over a year ago I went through my first job search in 5 years after I decided I wanted to relocate back to Connecticut. Finding a fitting job was a full time job in itself, but deciphering through the masses of junk in websit...

Having to decide on a project for this program was a tough challenge. There are endless options, and naturally a lot of work ahead for any project you choose. With my decision to create 'Rate My Company,' I was quite content with what I had come to. Fellow classmate Kerri brought up the point of legalities and issues that could arise from a site that could contain remarks less than flattering on ones company in a comment to my post.
The two sites I had been referring back to when working ...

After some thought through my three previous brainstorms as well as poking around the net, I decided that my project will be 'Rate My Company.' While there are some websites out there based on networking or finding out compensation details, there is no major destination to find out detailing information on a company that someone may want to know before accepting or declining any job offer.
I have had the good luck to be employed by two fantastic companies however I know several people who...
