About OK Circle of Links...
OK Circle of Links was conceived as an handy alternative to search engines, directories such as Yahoo and bookmarks. How many times have you been overwhelmed by the number of choices when looking for a site that you want or need? It sometimes takes hours to find exactly what you need...especially if you only have a dialup instead of broadband Internet connection. You breathe a sigh of relief, save the link in your Favorites or Bookmarks and think, "At last!" Then when you try to find that bookmark or favorite, several weeks or months later, you can't. Many things could have happened:
# You can't remember the name it was filed under, because unless you pay attention & change the default, it is often different than the URL (which you can't remember exactly either).
# You have so many bookmarks or favorites and you haven't organized them recently, so it is almost impossible to find anything!
# You (or someone else) has deleted some or all of those bookmarks or favorites since it was saved.
# You are on a different computer, rats...you have to hunt all over again.
# Worst of all, a virus zapped your computer & you lost everthing you had saved.
All of the above has happen to me at different times. If only there could be one simple page sort of like a directory index where you could click on a catagory to pop up a tiny directory in that category. The tiny pop-up could be left on your desktop as long as you needed it, or called up again easily. It would not be just any tiny pop-up, but in outline form which could be expanded or collapsed easily as needed to find the appropriate link you need.
Then the links would not be a long list to sort through, but URL's which would give you many more choices presented in a manner to help you find the specific information or site you are looking for, each time and every time!
Looking at OK Circle's home page, you might click Government (asterick indicates a completed directory). The tiny popup window has three choices plus a link back to the home page. The choices are International, Canada, and the United States. Each is preceeded with a little box containing a plus. If you click on the plus mark, that category will be expanded to contain one or several more choices. International gives you two: United Nations and Global, each with plus marks. If you click on Global, you will get a list of 5 links: World Gov., World Chiefs, Law & Gov., Flags & Info, and Nutshell Info. The World Gov. link has a list of all the countries in the world and links to each countries' main website if there is a website.
You could find Canada and the USA that way, too, but were shown separately because, either rightly or wrongly, we figured those two countries would receive the most clicks. If you click on the plus mark to expand the United States listing, you get two more choices, Federal and State & Local. Federal gives you 10 links, State & Local gives you one link at this time -- an index which lets you choice which state, county or city you want.
Thus in one tiny window with scroll bars if there are too many choices to fit, you can quickly find the right website to get a job with the UN, or even volunteer for them, find out who is the chief, be it President or Dictator, of a tiny country on the other side of the world, or who represents you on the town council and how to contact him or her. Many laws and zoning regulations may be easily found whose URL you would never guess!
Oh, by the way when you click on the plus sign (+) to expand a category, it turns into a minus sign (-) which will do the opposite--that is, contract it again. So simple, so easy.
Would tiny outline directories be a good idea for your business or organization?
Site maps are sometimes not easy to follow and may waste employee's valuable time trying to find the links to a particular person within your network, or even to the many contacts they must deal with outside your network. So, if you are thinking a private directory of this type on your network would be good for your employees, it can be done. If you have a whiz-bang programer on your staff with time to spare, they could figure out how to do it from this site. If not, and maybe even if so (more cost effective), The Wishing Room, Inc. (owner of the OK Circle of Links) can do it for you. Because businesses and organizations vary so much in size and complexity, there is not a set price, but a very reasonable hourily charge. If your company or organization is interested, please contact the webmaster by email: webmaster@okcircle.com
