Paul,
Understand your comments.
Yes, officetalk are hosting 'Sharepointvillage', but we are aiming to make it independent with all vendors being able to maintain their own areas. The idea is that everyone will know one place to go for everything SharePoint be it products, links to user groups and blogs. This we hope will give all of us the chance to promote our SharePoint services.
I deliberately didn't put this post in the 'Vendor' section of the user group because it isn't supposed to be an advert. We are just trying to inform as many SharePoint Users as possible about a website that we really think will benefit everyone connected with SharePoint. At the moment it is so confusing for everyone intersted inSharePoint because there are just thousands of SharePoint websites out there. We are trying to bring the best ones under one roof.
Hope this clears up any missunderstanding. Plese drop me an email if you have any further questions.
