Title: Categorization of Bitcoin Services Post by: Vod on September 08, 2011, 07:12:21 AM Hi everyone,
I'm trying to encompass all the bitcoin services into at least one category. The category list I have so far is: Adult Sites Consulting Services Currency Exchanges Directories Discussion Forums Ecommerce Sites Gambling Sites Mining Pools News Sites Online Banks/Wallets Payment Processors Can anyone else think of categories I may be missing? Thanks! Martin Title: Re: Categorization of Bitcoin Services Post by: nmat on September 08, 2011, 07:23:41 AM You're missing news sites perhaps... Aren't online wallets and online banks the same?
Title: Re: Categorization of Bitcoin Services Post by: Vod on September 08, 2011, 07:27:58 AM You're missing news sites perhaps... Aren't online wallets and online banks the same? Well, I would consider them the same, but I know some would like them to be different. For example, an online bank could offer interest while an online wallet would allow payments. I'm going to allow a single site to be in more than one category, so I'd like the categories to be as atomic as possible. I will add news sites in there, as well as payment processors. Thank you! :) Title: Re: Categorization of Bitcoin Services Post by: FreeMoney on September 08, 2011, 09:19:14 AM Web Hosting. Does Ecommerce mean online retail?
Title: Re: Categorization of Bitcoin Services Post by: Vod on September 08, 2011, 09:24:20 AM Web Hosting. Does Ecommerce mean online retail? Yes - I don't want to create a category for every type of good or service that can be bought with bitcoins. That would dilute it's usefulness. I would be open to renaming "Ecommerce Sites" to something more meaningful.

Yes, one website can be in as many categories as possible. I've also decided to combine wallets and banks into one category since, as nmat pointed out, they are essentially the same thing. |
