Help:Introduction

Centiare is a free directory service that anyone can use, including: commerical enterprises, non-profit/socio-political organizations, government entities, self-employed individuals, job-seeker resumés, actor/artist biographies/images, etc.

• Centiare developed a set of custom extensions that allow users to control and protect their own Directory page content. Unlike Wikipedia and other wiki sites that do not provide this feature, this means NO ONE ELSE can edit, vandalize, or otherwise interfere with your protected Directory pages.

• Centiare supports an advocate point-of-view (APOV) for protected Directory page content. While Main page articles are reserved for traditional neutral point-of-view (NPOV) subjects (e.g., Accounting, Aeronautics, Auditing, Banking, etc.), which are subject to open-editing capabilities, the protected Directory page content can advertise, promote, advocate, and provide sales contact information for specific companies, locations, branches, stores, franchises, products, services, individuals, etc.

• Centiare incorporates semantic tagging in all Directory entries that enables users to quickly search and/or browse Directory listings in conjunction with a number of different filters and search parameters (e.g., industry, zip code, city/state/country, etc.), to provide more focused and accurate searches.
