In our tests, some downloads on this site tried to change our Web browser home page.

This is what i get in firefox when McAfee siteadvisor is enabled.

Exalead should probably wish to stay in the green. Hope something can be done, some people are picky about sites and if they are not green... Well, with all the spam and spyware, people tend not to trust sites that aren't fully accepted.

Since I encountered some problems while trying to sign up for the German feedback forum and some people complained about others posting in French here, I have an idea which would avoid all this:

1) make one single forum for ALL languages and abolish the existing ones

2) make it mandatory, that every feedback entry has to be flagged as Englis/French/Whatever when it's posted

3) in the profile options there should be the possibility to chose the language of the user interface of the forum

4) in the profile there should be checkboxes where the user may chose which languages he likes to see. If he/she choses for example French and English, French AND English postings are displayed. If the user choses only German, only German posts are displayed.

Benefit: if all users use the same forum, it's more likely that entries in the languages the users understand are read more often.

I just created an account to participate in the feedback community. I first saw the German site, thensomehow clicked my way to the "create an account" site, but suddenly everything was English. Now I can only log in to the English, but not to the German feedback site. Confusing. Would be better if the account worked for all the exalead stuff...

should write to:
http://feedback.exalead.fr
NOT to:
http://feedback.exalead.com
Here should just be written in English - not in French!

AND:
There is a problem with the login: see below
This should be really improved! You can my suggestion also below (written as anonymous).

Je pense de plus en plus à l'idée de Pierre Lévy développé dans son livre: Les arbres de la connaissances. En gros l'idée serait que chaque titulaire d'un compte exalead enregistre son profil de compétences, de savoirs, ou ses sites favoris(au cour de l'inscription par exemple). Par la suite lors d'une recherche sur exalead, la zapette thématique proposerait une liste de pseudos suceptibles d'aider le chercheur. concrétement: un spécialiste de la musique classique indique lors de son inscription son domaine de prédilection, ajoute également une série de site sur le sujet. ainsi, une personne qui recherhe une information précise sur la musique classique se verraint proposé le le pseudo du mélomane avec possibilité de laissé une question et consultation de ces sites favoris. voilà en gros. Et vive le MARR!!!

Créer des modules que ce soit pour Joomla, Mambo, PhpBB, PHPNuke, Drupal, ModX (mais il faut que les modules soient bien intégrés comme si on croit que la page de recherche appartient au site, configuration du style CSS), proposer plus de service et activer l'OpenID car Google ne l'a pas encore fait et mieux vaut être les premiers. Proposer un service comme Google Coop (on choisit les site où l'on recherche). Un service de Ping comme Technorati, Feedburner...

As it stands, the rating system goes don't, not sure, yes, please do.

I think it would be a better idea if EL were to implement a fifth rating and place it between yes and no (the latter of which would supersede not sure, making the centre option not sure), or at least rename it to something else.

There are many people that are not sure about something, but might be open to the idea, and given that, the idea that if you don't know, vote no (hey, political slogan, anyone? :p) is rather silly.

Exalead should have a free email service. For everyone to enjoy the conford of their emails on exalead. This will allow us to be more close with exalead and also to be in touch with the incoming news that exalead is to offer.

I was sitting here thinking about this idea and thinking about how exalead would accomplish it and well, i really really doubt it would be worth the time and efforts to translate a feedback page into a global environment. What could be presented in a more efficient manor would be creating a feed between the different langauge portals into one portal with just the most informative and most rated items being translated and shown, instead of translating every single article into every single language. When you globalize a forum you basically limit the forum to users, but combining the best and most popular messages throughout the language portals into one portal would utilize every single portal at the same time with no limits of who can come up with a great idea. I read a lot of security articles from other countries, because for one security is maybe more lax in that country but i still have to translate it. Learning methods and ideas from foreigners is the key element of learning through the internet and expanding. Smart people exist in every single culture and speak every single language. No need to shy away from one or the other, when you can combine them all and give every single culture and background and language portal the same environment for feedback and ideas. Many people like to help out or reach out, but maybe the language barrier intimidates them. Submitting great ideas in france not only gets them well known in france and gets their idea worked on to where maybe they can even help, but also gives them credibility in the community as a whole to english contributors as well as spanish contributors if implemented this way. At the same time gives everyone else in the community a chance to help that portal, because at times different portals may go through different changes and ideas, but everyone world wide still wishes to help as a whole. Just a thought though, seemed logical and way way less work load. A small team could collaborate information through a system that collects it from the portals and makes sure it is properly translated. With programs and automation so easily produced, a lot of the work is left up to software and little up to management...

We just launched this week the german speaking feedback site, and we will soon organize a event with bloggers from all over Germany.
Maybe among your friends you know some German bloggers who would like to participate?
In that case, let us know their blog url and we will contact them.

I was just wondering what would be the best way a webmaster/network admin could help spread the ExaLead word. I myself have been using exalead over google for over a year and have actually switched a lot of friends over. I have control over some very nice current and upcomming projects that we would like to maybe help get people introduced to ExaLead. Myself being in the computer security field, me and friends share sites and ideas all the time. When i show people exalead, the first thing they do is change their homepage from google to exalead. That alone says enough, but I myself would like to spread the word even farther. Just wondering how little ole me can do something for big ole you... Thanks alot
