I have briefly looked at the site and was just wondering what the difference between this and a site like mystampworld.net would be. To me it seems that there is already a site that does what the StampCollectingSpot.com is looking to accomplish.

Why not apply the efforts here?

I just finished the new About page for Stamp Collecting Spot, which you can read here: stampcollectingspot.com/about Hope it's better than before.
I have briefly looked at the site and was just wondering what the difference between this and a site like mystampworld.net would be. To me it seems that there is already a site that does what the StampCollectingSpot.com is looking to accomplish. MyStampWorld is barely active any more. Plus, I have no control over MyStampWorld and don't know what their vision and business plan is, if they even have one. Currently, MSW and SCS do look and function extremely similar, but that will begin to change as I roll out new updates/features. angore - I will do what I can here, but obviously my focus is on Stamp Collecting Spot, which is different from TSF in many ways and will only become more so moving forward. I also have no control over TSF, and therefore cannot accomplish here what I can on SCS. I understand Stamp Collecting Spot may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine! |

Thanks for your response ianh Can you provide us a little bit more on what you envision stampcollectingspot to be? While I have noticed that mystampworld.net is trending down on the activity level I believe that it is a complete social networking site for collectors, much like myphilately used to be. I do wish your site success, I just want to know what you envision the end result to be. All the best, |

On top of Stamp Collecting Spot's current features, the goal is that eventually there will be many detailed courses on various facets of the hobby, a philatelic calendar of events, daily articles on the blog by a number of different contributors, and perhaps some other features. I doubt there will ever truly be an "end result" though, as I plan to continually update the website.  |

I would say you are proposing items that APS should be doing -- web delivered education, etc. without trying to add all sorts of fees, etc.
