Code Snippets is trying to do for code snippets what Flickr did for photos. I like the idea but it would be neat to have a built in feedback comment loop for each snippet. It would mean better snippets and better context for snippets, and would eliminate some posts that would be redundant.

Peter, the developer of Snippets here. Yes, I totally agree, which is why comments were modelled from day one. However.. the controller and view code just isn’t in yet. Snippets was really a two day challenge, so future builds will catch up with all the ‘goodies’ 🙂 Thanks for the support though!

I have been using CodeXchange add in for Vis Studio 2k3 for about a month now, and I have come to the conclusion that it is a neat idea (basically same as Snippets minus the tags and integrates in Vis Studio for us MSofties). In all honesty though 2 things I have discovered with it: a.) I can never find code that I need, just neat snippets of stuff that, albeit good code, isn’t near anything that I need, and b.) There are not enough people submitting code, only leechers. I can understand this in a commercial setting (I don’t submit my employers code anywhere). Hopefully all dev communities can gather around one of these sites and really submit some good stuff; else they are really just useless.
