A group of us at TechRepublic is working on the next version of the site. One of our goals is to improve the peer directory.
https://www.techrepublic.com/peer/peer_browse.jhtml

For starters we want to revamp the search function and the information in the listings. What do you think? What would the directory have to offer for you to use it? What information on your IT colleagues is most valuable to you? Post a comment or send an e-mail to veronica.combs@techrepublic.com
Thanks for your help.

If one were to go by the peer listings, they might come to the conclustion thet we're all computer gamers and sci-fi readers. (rather unidimensional, don't you think)

A mechanism for sorting by geography might be nice, so that we can get to knowpeople face to face.

The personal bio part needs to allow greater flexibility. Mine looks like a giant run-on sentence, due to inability to use paragraphs.

For color, a personal quote might be a nice addition

1. There aren't a lot of choices as to skills. Most of what I do isn't there, and it would be nice if, let's say, I could look for other people who work with Crystal Reports.

2. The biography section could be friendlier. I don't get inspiredto fit my entire professional career in a little tiny box.
