Well this sounds the same setup as I'm using now. Except I work for a large consultancy company who takes 10% of my fee when they land a contract.

Well I have a CV. The first page is the summary and normally you have a good feeling of my competences and you could toss the rest in the bin. But generally as a consultant people recruiting me look if I have done a similar project. So all

> PHP is on its way out Think it's funny that a lot of people make these bold statements. I'm not a big fan of PHP either but the job market in my country Java, .NET and PHP are the most asked for languages.

I was a perl enthusiast in the day. But those times are long gone. But I must agree when in a pinch and I need string manipulation or some quick script that is just bit to complicated for bash to handle I'll write some perl :)

I agree. But I don't see Facebook as a direct communication link. It is just a feed that I consume at my leisure. If you want to contact me and are in my circle of people that have my cell number that is the best way to directly contact me.

This is very interesting stuff. I'm busy with a project where I wanted to develop something like this. But now I could implement this. I would like to contact the founder(s). My email is on my profile page.

You only give 1 example why TechCrunch is a Fame-Hungry, Media-Manipulating Hypocrite you shouldn't read. If they spit out news every few minutes this is only a marginal reason. It is possible that every media has editorial where they give

Or we do crowd-sourced support or the company pays for their own user support. This is so white and black. Why don't we look into a well thought of mix of both options. I would work on a strategy where both are possible. I would create a su
