SUMo - Software Update Monitor

Kyle_Katarn · August 4th, 2008

I've jsut released a new freeware called SUMo - Software Updates Monitor.

SUMo notifies users when updates are available for their favorite software

Web page : http://www.kcsoftwares.com/?sumo

Already got it

Kyle_Katarn · August 4th, 2008

Lol !

Got any comment or suggestion ?

**ZeroHour** · August 4th, 2008

I would build a "source this update" comments system to the results page. Make it none registration too so it increases the use. It does not need to be a link to the file, just the download page for the software. Searching is okay but sometimes you want it to be simple.
Thats one thought anyway

Kyle_Katarn · August 4th, 2008

That's a good idea but with an important security issue as anyone would be able to post anything as source....

**ZeroHour** · August 4th, 2008

Thats always a risk but I would implement it with a "success" tracker. E.G. users vote if the source is valid and make links with 3 negatives auto hide to prevent the issue.

Why didn't you just update or post in your other thread?
