Review – Global Computer Assis…..
Posted by disona on July 23, 2008
That’s a really long name.
Ok, so the newest update with this project is the following.
GCANS has completed and finalized the layout and back-end of the main system. They have completed the directory of communities in the United States. They are currently including technical specialists of all sorts that match the categories on the site. What we found interesting with the site was this.
The acronym is GCANS which they claim is Global Computer Assistance Networking System which ironically also is their funding company Groom’s Computer And Networking Services which is hosted on the same server. They never deny this as if you drop the 8080 from the url you get their computer repair services.
We can’t say it’s sneaky because it would be rather interesting to pass this URI on verbally. It seems as this project strives on the inbound links from the specialist they support.
We still think this is an awesome idea and will continue to follow the project as it grows and expands.
Here is a listing of categories that they have on their site.
Mac Specialists
Computer Techs
Laptop Experts
Personal Tutors
Troubleshooters
National Repair
Consultants
Coffee Addicts
LAN Designers
WAN Designers
Networkers
Wireless Security
Developers
PC Builders
This list doesn’t seem very large but keep in mind they are building a database of specialists for the entire united states. They have well over 140,000 communities in the database that is need of specialists so in my opinion this list isn’t large enough. This project could extend further than just the Technical Community. Supporting computers and other technologies is very convenient since this project involves these technologies.
The project administrator, Shondal Groom of Groom’s Computer And Networking Services lets us know that
they will be launching the project as it’s completion towards the end of August. They are hoping to have some outside funding to help with the marketing. So if you are looking to donate some cash to this project you can contact him or the main office.
