New Community Site for IP Communications Technology Content

In my job, it’s critical that I keep up with the latest in IP Communications news and technology developments. Finding the time to read all of my news feeds, magazines and subscribed blogs is a huge challenge.

I often wished there was a service that would assemble relevant content into a central location. While there are several sites that perform that sort of function, I must still sort through all of the titles to find the relevant and quality content. It would be great if there was an aggregating service that would also highlight the best content and filter out the irrelevant.

I assume that many others in the industry have the same challenges and hence my motivation to create Communications Technology News (CTN). The website is modeled after the very popular digg; a social site where a community of users vote on stories.

Unlike digg, which assembles content on a wide variety of subjects, the goal of CTN is to build a community of users interested in topics related to communications technology. The voting system is designed to allow the cream of the content to rise to the top. Once registered, CTN users can submit content into a variety of related categories including:

Billing, Contact Centres, IMS, IP Telephony, IVR, Messaging, Mobility / Wireless, New Products, Oddities & Humour, Press Releases, Provisioning, Regional, Regulatory, Security, SIP, Telecom, Unified Communications, VoIP, White Papers

Users are welcome to suggest additional related categories.

Additionally, unlike other similar sites where posting your own content can often result in being flamed by other members, CTN invites and encourages authors to post and promote their own material.

I invite your comments, and welcome any suggestions you may have.
