Default Will you please nominate us for the Open Web Awards?

We're making a pitch to get nominated for the Mashable Open Web Awards this year.

I'd be grateful if you assist us by clicking the link below and nominating WeCanDo.BIZ in the "Niche and Miscellaneous Social Networks" category (the last one in the drop down).

Open Web Awards Home and Introduction

It will be tough getting a foot in the door against the US-based competition, so anyone who wants to see the Brits making a splash is welcome to help out!

Your assistance and support very much appreciated.

IH

I've been using wecando for a little while and have made a few good contacts. One little annoyance for me though (as a user) is the front page, in an effort to make the site even better here's my brief thoughts that would better the user experience.

1, Once logged in, hide the big information and sign up section, or replace with something relevant to logged in users.

2, My favourite section on the front is the "Business Need", it would be good to be able to actually browse these on the site, rather than only being able to see 4 or 5. I have the RSS option, but it would be nice on-site.

Not much really, but as a user I'd love see them happen

Thanks for your feedback -- and for signing up of course!

We suggest that registered users bookmark the My Profile page and will soon update the alert e-mails to point to that rather than the homepage.

Regarding the Biz Needs, remember that we send the ones relevant to you directly to your Biz Feed list when you log in. A few people have asked for the whole list to be visible and we're considering that for a release later this month.

In the meantime, we have a few partners who show a bigger list, including BRX.

I hope this helps!

We've now embedded the Mashable Open Web Awards widget on our website with the important fields preset to make it even easier to support us in beating some of the bigger US-based social networks to nomination.

Please come and show your support for us HERE!

My thanks in advance.

Done, I've only signed up a few days ago but can see it becoming a very powerful tool.

I've had a pretty good experience on wecando.biz over the past few weeks with identified business needs being fulfilled by members (inlcuding some UKBL members)

Keep up the great work Ian and good luck for the awards
