About

Minti is an Australia-based collaborative parenting advice platform where users publish articles and others rate, tag, comment, browse related tags, and view aggregated user review blogs with search.

Mission

Minti is a niche, collaborative advice site focused on parenting where members write articles and other users rate, tag, and comment on content. The site supports browsing by tags and displays related tags for articles, and it aggregates each user’s reviews into a blog-like area with a search attached. Minti uses Web 2.0 features such as AJAX, tagging, and comments and is described as well designed and built. The service is criticized in the article as a “walled garden”: content must be read on Minti, there are no RSS feeds, and the site does not aggregate external blogs. The article notes the founders chose to host content on Minti rather than syndicate or aggregate existing parenting content across the web. Minti launched on March 8, 2006 and is based in Australia; the article states the company has raised A$1.6 million in seed financing.
