Well, SADLY neither JotSpot nor Scavenger seems to exist anymore…
so we’re taking advices from people who failed 2 or 3 startups… hummm. Not saying it’s bad. Failure is also good as experience. Just saying!

Great video. One main thing every start up needs is a great video demo for their product or service. That is what my company does for startups. Video demos are basically commercials. Businesses need to understand how important it is to have one of these. What better way to attract investors and customers. It’s just as important as a restaurant needing a kitchen.

I’ve been trying to promote my green energy idea, The Traffic Wheel. Using only the gravity of passing cars, this device could rival hydropower in industrial power production. So far, the only interest I am getting is from cult-like groups like the Venus Project, who want to take the idea and give me no money. There is a link to the idea on my account and you have to enter “browse gallery” when you get there.

@ethanradd no, you haven’t been wasting your time. PHP can still teach you good practices and programming concepts. The important thing is learning how to program. Also, many companies still hire for PHP jobs. Ruby on Rails is very popular now. Django with python is good too (python is a good language to know a

@DelvarWorld Comment part 2: However, consider that massively popular sites (Wikipedia, Facebook, Digg) are written in PHP. It is easy to get off the ground running quickly with PHP, which makes it a popular choice for developers who want to ship something quickly.
I obviously couldn’t tell you exactly why Google condemns PHP or what exactly they are using, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least that they are staying away from it.
