How Can We Organize This Site Better?

A common complaint among Consumerist readers is that we're missing good system for organizing old posts.

A common complaint among Consumerist readers is that we’re missing good system for organizing old posts.

Currently your options are:

• Consumerist Search box
• Search by tags
• Use Google “search within a site”

All of which can be awkward, to say the least.

After kicking this complaint upstairs, our boss asked us to put together a proposal.

So let’s think about a new way…. Some wiki? Something that uses horizontal space instead of just a vertical shaft?

(Bear in mind that we should be deploying a site redesign rather soon, so no need to tell us about the posts floating in a black lake and all, that will be fixed.)
