That's cool. I was looking at using MixPanel for some personal projects. This makes it that much easier.

'fast' and 'CakePHP' shouldn't be used in the same sentence. Cake is great for RAD (Rapid Application Development) but the framework itself is massively bloated to almost the same level as a full CMS. You'll get to market faster, but you'll

This just smacks of not getting it, and may imply why a free and open facebook alternative may not be possible by the open source community. Facebook is a product, targeted using hooks generated from real relationships to a specific audienc

Microtransactions have been around since 1887 with the invention of the first slot machine. Social Games are the distilling of the same motivation slot machine players have when they almost hit a jackpot. They focus on the exact moment a pl

Don't go to a conference expecting to be spoon fed. I remember the first conference I went too and saw AJAX for the first time just before it became a standard part of the web dev tool kit. I thought it was amazing and it would change the w

It's a creative studio, which basically translates into: We only think in Flash. I also love that studios are the only place where management either equals or outnumbers production staff.

I've always wondered what kinds of data services are available for getting listings of games, teams, players and if any of them are open source. Anyone know where the data for a service like this comes from?

I actually liked it more than most 'mafia war' rip-offs. I work in social games too (for the moment) out of Ottawa, Ontario. Moving to something even more Ajax based, like mafia wars would be a good idea. I liked the users online incentives

Wow.. The Firebug team created a product that moves web development a generation a head in terms of tool sets, then released that tool for free when most people would have gladly paid for it. It's free, and open source. If there are bugs, s

This is par for the course on a daily basis. I work on facebook apps essentially all day, every day. One of the biggest challenges is writing an application that relies on facebook functionality that may or may not vanish or fail hourly. +1

Got this running on my linnode instance. It plays well, some textures take time to load, and it's hammering disk io. That said.. It plays really well on my hackintosh. 40 - 60 fps average, sound is okay. Play it with a webkit browser, the n

I love Ubuntu, particularly the package management, but the magical stuff they do in packages is extremely frustrating. The base PHP module includes suhosin, while there's also a suhosin module which just places the configuration file, that

Yup. Missed the point. Entrepreneur ship ends up being a very subjective experience, where the measure of success doesn't always end in profit. The 10k hour rule tends to apply to subjective accomplishments with little variable reward. The

It wouldn't take 100 to 200 million to develop a quality mmo experience with social hooks and way above average art. It could be done for under 500k from a reputable studio.
