Yep. No matter how you phrase it, there are people out there who will never see how that might be true. I've said before that using the file system or caching data in memory isn't an anti-database technique, it's simply a solution to a spec

I would agree with you about Ebay - but Ebay just bought StumbleUpon. Maybe they are shifting, albeit subtly.

Makes such perfect sense too.

Pg, that's exactly the technique I used for a sudoku site I built for myself. Everything was cached and only read from disk when something changed. It's snappy and with very little overhead.

Sure, glad you found it useful! A few months ago, I created a silly little sudoku site, then blogged about how I did it with no database backend (man, I got flamed). Truth is, I really didn't need one but lots of people couldn't see past th

The more I think about it the more I think Zenter might be in a very good position; if their software is really good (and I expect it is) then Google competitor's might want to acquire something to compete with Google. What do you guys thi

One big issue is that the demo I downloaded had some audio pre installed with it. Just a thought, but using audio from a speech given by a man with cerebral palsey is not the best choice for a demo. It was very unclear and hard to see what

From: http://gigaom.com/2007/04/18/ebay-likely-buyer-for-stumbleupon/#more-8780 "By marrying the (StumbleUpon) toolbar to Skype client, eBay can do an end run around Googles dominance of the search business. A simple search box inside Sk

What is Ebay doing with stumbleupon? Doesn't seem to fit with their business. Not in any way I can see at least.

Thanks. I'm really interested to see how their site works, feels, how it's built, etc.

Great point. I hope it's true for Zenter.

I think the problem there is that you aren't understanding what they're asking for. I'm sure they are being perfectly clear in telling you what they want but something weird happens when users describe features and wish lists. They often do

Great. Make sure you post a link to them.

I visited your site - but there is no information about how your software works. There's just some text that refers to a video. But there's no link anywhere to such a video. If you want to convince me that your product can do what it says

Sure, that exists because the movie studios usually ship movies out with a transcription. I don't think something like this exists for run-of-the-mill type videos. In the example of the video above, if there WERE a transcript, you could use

by jkush 20y ago
Actually - that's pretty hard to do. What would probably be more "doable" is to take a transcript (done manually by a transcriptionist) and sync up the text with the video. You could provide links in a transcript which when clicked take yo

I'm with ya dfranke. I picked it back up pretty fast too. My point is that we all pick it back up eventually. Some (like you) don't even waste time feeling bad, you get right back to it. Others don't. My point is that if you do feel bad, fi

I think linking to a discussion about a topic is better than just linking to the topic but is still flawed. If you think about the scope of what's happening, the scope is usually very tight. At most, the conversation goes on for a few days,

The best advice I can give is this: give yourself until the end of the week to mourn. Be depressed about it. In fact, be REALLY depressed about it. Don't sugarcoat it, let it sink all the way in. Get all that negativity and depression out o

I agree with you. I've been debating whether to focus on using Django or Rails - and I think I'm going with Django. If Rails has known speed limitations, why work with it if there's another option?

Seems like RoR is great for getting something out very quickly but if the site takes off then you need to be prepared to take out the very features that helped get you there. So, it comes down to, if you're shooting for something very high

Nice write up and great answer to that question. I can't tell you how bummed out I am that my application was rejected. I'm debating whether it means there was something fundamentally wrong with my app or if it's something fixable. I know i
