Intel's New Online Community

CoolSW is an online community of people passionate about software. Members post information about an interesting new software company and, more important, the community votes on whether they think a software company is, well, "cool."

Companies that receive a lot of votes get elevated to the site's front page where the casual visitor can see what community members consider the most interesting software. Contributors are putting "Collective Intelligence" to work.

You are welcome to visit, enjoy the postings and conversation, but if you would like to be part of community and post, vote and/or comment, then you'll need to take the easy membership plunge. The site has free membership and although CoolSW shares some common features with other voting communities, they are different in practice.
