My Oracle Support Community to Launch Soon
Yet another Oracle social network is about to be born. In addition to Oracle Mix, OracleCommunity.net, and OAUG Knowledge Factory, My Oracle Support Community will be launched in the next few days.
If you have a My Oracle Support (formerly known as Metalink) account, you will be able to access My Oracle Support Community. It is included in your premium support package.
This morning, I attended a webcast that demonstrated the features of My Oracle Support Community. This new web application includes features commonly found on social networks, such as member profile pages, discussion forums and private messaging. It also has a point-based user reputation model similar to OTN forums.
The following is a slideshow of snapshots I took during the presentation:
A community is as strong as the level of participation of its members. How strong will My Oracle Support Community be? that remains to be seen.
Update November 1st: It’s live now! Visit metalink.oracle.com, login then click on the Community tab.

Similar to my other two Firefox search plugins (found here and here), I have now created a plugin to search Metalink (as promised). You can download it from here.
Note that you need to login to Metalink in order to get results. Once logged in – and as long as you do not exit your Firefox browser – you do not need to keep the Metalink site open and you do not need to log in again every time you search. Enjoy!
