The article failed to mention Shoutlife ( http://www.shoutlife.com ), probably the biggest Myspace-act-alike Christian social networking site.

Typo: Should say, "Build your store for free!" under the grey "Coming Soon" button. Also, your demo sites don't seem to be loading. Edit: They just took quite a while to come up.

What you want is something that capitalizes on a basic human need, whether that means validation of existence or sex or facilitation of work, etc. For me, it was dealing with frustration ( http://ventations.com/ ), although that site's not

The parting line confirms my suspicion that marketing and SEO types secretly worship/unconsciously patronize Googlers and their ilk. Frankly, I don't care whether or not I have what it takes to work at Google.

No sir. I be using SHA256 hashes and per-password salts, ever since our site's launch.

UPDATES: Bigger fonts (Caleb mentioned that earlier), Twitter updates ( http://twitter.com/ventations ), and you can now vent via SMS by texting "VENT your_message_here" to 41411. And we like our color scheme. :)

I and a friend (it was his idea) put together this site over the weekend, on a lark. It's admittedly purposeless, but we're hoping that people don't find it completely useless.

First off, congrats on a completely misleading title. I feel like your question overlooks something, namely that if your goal is to become successful, then until you do , you probably won't have the "buck" to pay your crazy smart hard-work

I think we have one.

Fwiw, this guy works with me and designed the Scriggle-it site. I'm the programmer.

Nope. Actually we've never taken/sought VC, and we've been working on the thing for about a year.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. They're definitely appreciated. > Bands must get sick of trying to get their gigs listed on all the different sites (myspace, purevolume, etc.), having a solution that could push that info to all

Duly noted, on both counts.

I wouldn't buy Motorola to begin with. I bought my cell phone from Amazon.com, and the RAZR got pretty torn up in the reviews I read. So I opted for a Nokia, and have never been less than pleased with it.

Awesome. Thank you for the suggestions and commentary. :)

We do have one. As I noted elsewhere, I linked to the dashed version for clarity's sake, but it was probably a bad idea. The non-hyphenated one is in "production" use.

Some. Word of mouth has worked really well. We also get quite a few signups from people who see it in use and check it out.

> What is it about?? That is the kind of feedback I was looking for. One of the things we struggle with is good information presentation. It's a mailing list management system for bands. Or it was. Now we call it "fan management and dat

Yeah, we own both addresses. I linked to the hyphenated address for clarity's sake. But you're right. We use the non-hyphenated version in all email correspondence and the like.

Sure, block Firefox. Guess what I predict will eventually happen? Adblock Plus will offer to install the User Agent Switcher plugin ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/59 ) after it configures itself. Blocking ads is completely ethic

So, basically, a pastebin without syntax highlighting?

No, that's Jott.com. Not sure why the author refers to it as "JottIt".

Oops, looks like a few got out.

Gotcha. I'm just arguing (mildly, 'cause the most .NET experience I have is a two-week project a couple years ago) that possibly .NET and friends is not the best choice for a massive site such as MySpace, at least if you are not prepared/qu

Couldn't the same argument ("just a VM and a set of APIs") be made for many programming languages, Web or otherwise? I'm not criticizing what you wrote, just trying to make sure I understand what you're saying.
