Well, the title pretty much sums it up :)

A little background: mock ups are when I create pretty (sometimes they aren’t so pretty – but usually they’re better than Caroline’s) drawings that illustrate some aspect of the site. They are basically visualizations to see where we’re going before we build it.

So, here’s a few of the things I’m working on today:

Tagriculture

This is what we’re calling Tagriculture – it’s the idea that our site will function very simply and sweetly by using tags – and tags are how people can find each other, and things they’re interested in, and also say what it is they like or don’t like.

Which brings us to….

Ratings

We’re getting ready to introduce some sort of way to use tags to rate things – what you’re seeing here is not necessarily what we’re going with – again, this is an idea and we still haven’t gotten any feedback from our community as far as what they want to be able to rate finds (products and articles), and what we’re calling eco-matters at the moment (this is the place where people will be able to post questions; rant or rave about products or articles; post great ideas; and share eco-successes). On this mock up you’re seeing the values of green, cool, practical – and the ability to be able to rate it a yes, a no, or a not sure.

And finally….

Finds

The Finds page – anything that you can find on the internet and bring into OsoEco via our bookmarking tool we’re calling a “find” right now (again, I’ll be posting about language later – I thought today, but I think that will be what I’m working on tomorrow…). With this mock up I’m also playing with the new layout we will soon be going with – it incorporates a side-bar that is giving stat-type things – like, what are the last 5 finds that we’re added to OsoEco; who are the last 5 people to post an eco-matter; who’s on the site right now; what are the lastest notes that have been posted, etc…..

So that’s it. Feel free to let me know of any thoughts you have….
