   That sounds like a great system, thanks. I'll take a look at ebates.com and see what I can find.

   I'll be the first to admit it might just be me ;) I prefer XML and haven't used JSON extensively enough to be proficient with it. If there are pluses to using JSON over XML I'm ignorant to them.

   Thanks! I've thought along those same lines, and I'm hoping to make that an option in the future. Currently I'm not confident that I can track everything well enough to attribute purchases to an individual user. I didn't want to say a user

    If someone was trying to sell you a new type of car would you want him to know how to drive? Or would it be sufficient if he just thought he knew how cars worked? The question was specifically about getting the word out to bloggers I don't

    I think that's a great viewpoint to take however if you're going to now sell bloggers on this idea you need to also share their viewpoint on the product.

    "Problem is I don't have a blog, I don't have friends who are bloggers" I think the first thing you would need to do is start a blog. It's the whole 'eat your own dogfood' thing. If you had a blog you could do linking agreements with other

    Sorry I can't up-vote any article that mentions Mark Zuckerberg as one of the world's "SuperClass". Does anyone really think Facebook has, even within an order of magnitude, the same world-wide pull as the Fed? I'm pretty sure Bear Stearns

    This is a little bit one-sided! Yes it's exciting that Google is getting into this space but Amazon was here first, has a loosely coupled architecture that allows for more flexibility, and already allows you to run apps in your language of

    Thanks, I've been working non-stop for the last couple months to get it up and running. I'm in the home stretch (I'll hopefully 'launch' in the next week) and I'm starting to turn my attention to promotion and marketing.

    well if there is no catch I submit my new site Embought www.embought.com . It's a shopping search engine that donates 50% of its profits to charity.

    I recently built a crawler of my own in Ruby after trying, and ultimately deciding against, Nutch. Depending on what you want to do with your crawl there is a very good change that you'll be able to write a small crawler that is much easier
