Kevin you miss my point.

First off why should I have to sign up to see anything? If you ready want participation then you need to draw in luckers but that will not happen in a closes setup like this. Did anyone bother to ask the IT communities, in particular large existing active communities? If so which community did that talk to? Also keep in mind that Culminis DOES NOT SPEAK for EVERYONE. KEEP in MIND that Culminis believe that user groups are there to sever them and not the other way around.

At least that is what I took away from my discussion with David S. President of Culminis.

Secondly, how will any search engine be able to forward someone to a particular topic if it is never index and even if it does I know I normally will not sign up to any site just to see something that might be of interest. so what is the drw to me as a lucker to join this site?

Thirdly you never address my issue if not being able to sign on with a Passport.com account. It should work but who do you call for support?

Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss this farther.

Well... "me", I am surprised if you're seeing "I hate ..." messages there. I think that's pretty counter-productive and immature, too. Ideally people such as yourself should take the opportunity to create your own java and linux working groups and start building community there.

Seriously - the discussion is not intended to be Microsoft-only.

I think it should be named *network for MS-professionals* not IT-professionals. All boards are full with MS,"I love MS", "I hate java", "I hate linux". So from a ms-view the it are MS-Only.

That's not for me.... Where is the sign-off button?

2cents here: aggreg8.net - disappointing, or did i miss something? it seems to be a very simple community-piece, chances are a bored student coded this in his sparetime in one (maybe two) evening-sessions. performance is unsatisfying, design/gui is *not* userfriendly, server-error-pages do almost seemless fit into the non-existing CI/CD ...

The point im writing this is the fact that i read about aggrega8.net as a quote - Microsoft-founded *network for IT-professionals*: end-quote - in an article of a major german online-mag. Having created a profile and checked it out for about 15 minutes, sadly to me its merely a joke, a hoax or most probably a current deface.

Microsoft launches a 'MySpace' for IT pros

Microsoft has soft-launched a new community site designed to allow IT professionals to network with one another. The new site, called Aggreg8.net , is a joint effort between Microsoft's TechNet team and Culminis, a self-described "international not-for-profit

Why is this filed under the 'Sex' tag? Is Aggreg8 really a cover for something else?

Seriously, though -- I'm worried. Why would Microsoft back something where the technology is so antiquated by today's Web standards? I'll be watching how this progresses, but so far, I don't believe your beta testers did you justice. This is not a community site.

It will not let me sign in!

What is the point of having a site where you can’t see anything before you sign in? Why so secretive?

This goes against the idea of what a community is all about. A community has public areas and announcements so far all I have been able to see if that this is a private group more like a secret society instead of a community.
