		<description>&lt;p&gt;So I was off work and surfing and found this place and thought I would join up. I don&#039;t have much more to say right now except I need to start reading some of the older posts to get up to speed before I can start posting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Em&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nice forum design. Okay, I need your advice.
So, I wanna make personal site, and I am looking for site template.
Can you suggest some online place or other resource where I can find many site templates? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It would be better if it will be free:)
I think many of us have personal sites, do you design it yourself? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Best regards, Bill.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Please add more concurrent items to your RSS feed.  There&#039;s only 8.  20 or 30 would be ideal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Otherwise, the design of your blog is very good.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Om,
 yes, I have noticed the difference in your output. I love all the new writers too, not taking away anything from them. And Robert&#039;s post are through and thoughtful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Regarding reviews, I understand your focus is telecom etc, but there are lot of other development happening. Gigaom could definitely add value to the conversation. I mean new acquisitions or product launches in web2.0 space.  Like the Google &quot;Integrated Story&quot; today, i would definitely like Gigaom&#039;s take on that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Venkatesh&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Respectfully, keep in mind that Om -did- ask for feedback to make his site (business) even better.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course it is a great site&#8230;or none of us would be here reading nor commenting.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Dear Om,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I started checking out your site recently. Now, I&#039;m an everyday reader. I think you are doing a great job. I love the tone of the articles - perfect balance to the register.co.uk - my other favorite site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The guys making all these suggestions should just go start their own sites as they seem to be so sure of what is better - maybe that will teach them what is actually involved! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If it ain&#039;t broke don&#039;t fix it - right?!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keep on chooglin dude. I for one am highly entertained and informed by your site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All the very best to you and your great team.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Beeba&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I agree with one of the earlier comments.  If you&#039;ve got the funds, pick up a European and an Indian correspondent.  Although the US has been the key innovator in the web thus far, broadband has really levelled the playing field.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It would also get your postings on a 24 hour cycle - anything to stay ahead of the competition.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I got to say I love your site. Here&#039;s some ideas:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What I Love:
-Layout of the site. (I&#039;m serious, this is probably the best layout for a blog that I&#039;ve seen.)
-Your writing style&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some Possible Improvements
-Encourage more commenting by adding features such as threaded comments (see http://www.engadget.com/) Don&#039;t get me wrong, I don&#039;t want you guys switching to their layout, I would just love to see threaded comments here where you can reply to individual comments. That ends up encouraging more conversation.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;There is a perfect example from today about quantity not quality.  A story about a company laying off 4 and 8 people respectively???&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Overall I would say 7/10.  I visit the site 4 out of 5 business days.  What I would like to see:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;lose the right hand side, completely distracting - doesn&#039;t jive with the new look&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;cover more outside of web 2.0 - gets tiring reading about all these companies gearing to sell out&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;more verbose posts - more quality, less quantity - i really like your opinions&#8230;they just seem to stop early&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Love the sites and, more importantly, the content. My only suggestion is a rehaul of the design - sorry to say, but I really don&#039;t like the colors, layout, etc&#8230; sorry!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;hi Om,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Love you Team editorial skill. I agree with Linkip:  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;Maybe more information coming from European and Asian markets. Fortunately or unfortunately the world is flat and competition is coming from anywhere !&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;for sure the must be a great company out there. Try in-depth coverage Green Packet from Malaysia which offer next generation of mobile broadband. Disclosure: I&#039;m from proud citizen of Malaysia :-) but not an employee of Green Packet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Suggestion:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Design:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maybe add a design digg-like module and digg-spy on the righthand corner. I love o see real-time interaction callobration between users of for best story of the hours, day, week, month, year, all-time) in the OM Network and off-course with rss feed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Post us the your screenshot of your web designs, maybe readers can participate which is  the best. keep us to date.. another one, do forget the holiday theme - your forgot about Christmas.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Content:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;a podcast (audio/video) interview such   Scobleshow.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Law section covering Technology. Need more coverage to compliment This Week In Law and Zdnet.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More posting indeed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More picture and video either embedded or not.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Del.icio.us for OM Network? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RSS for comments??&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Comment:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support html. We want post video too (pls filter it - for god sake).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PS: Where is OMNetwork_myspace/facebook/ etc? network?&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I miss out on the scoops that the old Gigaom used to uncover..The juicy insider info and what not.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One way to have the audience actively comment on the site - Make heavily opinionated and controversial posts -- a ploy that Mike @ TC employs..If you track the # of comments TC has been getting recently, it has gone down&#8230;Once in a while, he tends to write up a post (like  the recent Netflix one) which saw about 170 + comments..&lt;/p&gt;
