I run a computing tips website, parsed.org. I originally created it so xinu and I could store IT tips in a central place. The tips cover everything from SQL tricks to command line tips to code samples in various languages.

The site has been online since Fall of 2004, and xinu and I created most of the initial content. I changed jobs and implemented OpenID support on parsed.org and added it to the myopenid.com directory. Since then, it has seen a few account creations per day. But new content wasn't rolling in: the site wasn't keeping people around.

So I decided to ask the users; many of the users that signed in chose to supply an e-mail address, so I kindly asked them what I could do to make parsed.org more compelling as a computing tip site.

So far I've gotten some really good suggestions and ideas from the people who responded:

• Better RSS feed coverage for individual tags and individual users' posts
• Automatic code highlighting and formatting
• Bookmarking (think gmail's starring feature)
• An "About" page to clarify the purpose of the site (it's true...)
• Tag cloud on the main page
• Better search interface (it currently doesn't search tags)
• Commenting support
• A "tip of the week" feature
• Tip voting
• The ability to get e-mail when interesting tips are posted (e.g., with certain tags)
• (P)avatar support
• Extensions (Firefox, Eclipse)

As time allows, I'm going to boil these down and start working on a few of them. A lot of these will go a long way to making parsed.org better.
