MeasurementMedia Network

The MeasurementMedia Network is our collection of open, free and user-friendly websites. They provide focused news and directories of resources related to measurement technologies, devices, standards and practices.

All our websites are free to the public to visit and use as an education and/or information resources or guides to further online and off-line (real world) resources. We are not an educational institution, but rather an online set of resources and facilitators of collecting more in the relatively narrow field of measurements in Industry & Science.

We operate of the firm belief that Education and Information resources are best when freely shared among people. Then everyone can grow and benefit to their limits of their abilities.

The antithesis of Education is Ignorance, the curse of the weak and downtrodden of the past, and in some parts of the world today. For those who need an analogy, the best modern one one we think is the statement of a noted economist from Columbia, Alvaro Montenegro Garcia:
“A lottery is a tax on people who do not understand statistics!”

Another of our firmly held beliefs is that Web resources like ours and others (Google is a prime, much more generic example) are win-win-win resources. Just look at how Google has grown.

First win: The website user or visitor wins since they gain free access to useful and often educational information that can make them a better informed and savvy product/service user and help them grow in many ways.

Second win: The supplier of a commented link to information, often an expert opinion or article buried on an organization’s website, gets wider discovery, due to the feedback* nature of the Web. Our sites are mostly ranked at a Google PR4 or higher.

That places these directory links in the category of “high quality” web resources and enhances the visibility of the submitting organization’s website on the Internet and in their Search Engine rankings, since the link on our site points to their site.

Third win: Our website(s) gain more visibility, too, and even higher credibility (even more if an organization adds a reciprocal web link to us – but that’s not a requirement, just frosting on the cake for all involved).

More content and a growing number of links on our sites means more content held in Search Engine indices and a growing reputation for our sites from the content added alone. That makes the Second Win better and more people find your information on Search Engine results, closing the loop and enhancing the First Win more so.

*It’s more than viral. It’s a feedback loop that benefits all the nodes on it! Many marketeers think they understand the concept of viral, but few seem to get the concept of feedback, as most scientists and engineers do. The Web has some viral nature, of that’s there’s little doubt, but it has a larger, immense and not well-appreciated feedback nature, too.

Our websites and links to them are listed at or near the bottom of the pages or on the Links Page on almost all of them as you can see on this site.
