Upgrades @ Absolute Insight

The Absolute Insight staff has recently upgraded AI for you to make it more user-friendly and informative.

Readers can now respond to and comment on articles without having to register for an account. This should promote forum discussion and help everyone share his or her thoughts and ideas.

We also have decided to get rid of numerical rating systems for our reviews that so many other websites have used for ages. We will be providing numerical data where applicable (such as temperatures, voltage readings, transfer rates, benchmarks, frame rates, etc.) but not rating the product on a scale of 1 to 10, or anything of that nature. We feel this will benefit our readers because they will be getting a better understanding of the products rather than trying to interpret an arbitrary number on a made-up scale.

I'm glad to hear that our decisions are well received, at least by one person anyways. I also noticed we've seen a few more visitors discussing the articles than we had in the past, and our change was only a recent one. It would be great to see this trend continue.

Excellent news.

Here's an idea for the site, how about selling AI Case Badges?

We've toyed many times with selling products, but we are yet to come up with a good game plan. Kompact and Keyser were going to help, but they got busy. Have any ideas to make this easy?
