What is WeSRCH? |
| |
WeSRCH is a social networking site dedicated to the active technical professional who wants to get heard. |
| |
WeSRCH is the world's first virtual technical conference that goes non-stop: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. |
| |
It's about We rather than Me. It is a community. It is about being able to participate in the global world of technology. |
| |
WeSRCH keeps you up to date with the most relevant work of your peers. It provides you with a rating system that saves you time. |

Technical articles will come from engineers, scientists and other people interested in technology. People in large organizations likely would work with their corporate communications managers. |

Individuals could self-post their articles to WeSRCH. Editors at WeSRCH will review all articles to ensure integrity on the site, so that no IP is violated. |

| |
| How will communities be formed? |
| |
WeSRCH includes an ability to propose a topic and ask other WeSRCH members to form a community. |
| |
For example, let’s say people are starting to use a new tool. Someone can propose either a public community to talk about the tool, or a moderated community that would be limited to members who would operate within a pass-protected forum. |

| Why the Rabbit? |
| |
An engineer comes home from a conference. Dry after a long day of talks, the engineer looks for a beer in the refrigerator. The light turns on and he sees a rabbit. |
| "What are you doing in my refrigerator?" says the engineer. |
| "Isn't this a Westinghouse?" asks the rabbit. |
| "Yeeesss." says the engineer tentatively. |
| "Well, I'm Westing!" exclaims the wabbit. |
