    News-Aggregators

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    It really depends on what you are trying to do. CSS and ATOM feeds are good if all you want is news data. If this is the case simply just subscribe to these feeds. If you want to actually parse an entire page of data and store it in your database, than a web scraper is what you want. You can...

    Global Currency?

    INVESTING 
    First I want to say that after all of this talk, I now am a supporter of a global currency. Bottom line is that it would make markets more efficient. In systems theory, systems are more efficient if you can eliminate steps within it (currency conversions, currency trading, etc) This reminds me...

    Beta Testers

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hey All, Where have people gone in the past to get beta testers for their new sites? I have some ideas of some places to start but can not find a 'reliable' resource. Is there a place where you can potentially find people to hire to do this? Does elance have something like this. Help! Ryan

    Going Down In Flames ...

    HOT! 
    PhxMJ, I don't know you or this forum extremely well but of little that I do know you have provided hope and guidance to hundreds of people on here. I think it is time to reflect upon an economy that has taken even some of the best of us through a whirlwind of doubt. Only the true Renaissance...

    Website Legalities

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Well it is technically it is a 'real' link to the article. For example, if you click on a link to an article from my site, it would take you to the actual article 'within' a frame on my page... So if you click an article from the NY Times it frames in the article on my page from NYT.com but you...

    Website Legalities

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have a website that is a news crawler and compiles these 'links' into a database. So if I frame these news articles into my site is that illegal? By framing I mean that you stay on my site when you click a news article link...Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Millionaire in the making profile

    I love the picture that they put up of the couple. The husbands facial expression says it all. "This is not what I signed up for..." I feel like the article is trying to make the couple sound better than they really are. And about the mustang...what is that all about. Next thing they buy will be...

    I'm starting a business, need some advice

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    If you don't know anything about programming or database design you would definitely be advised to contract out. Believe me it's not worth your time to learn these languages and try to spawn your idea out of this extremely limited knowledge. Try going to elance.com and setting a bid out and...

    Blog Setup and recommendations

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This software looks quite promising...I'm just not too sure if your web host will support it. Are you able to just load up the software as like a php script to the web server?

    Blog Setup and recommendations

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Well than vBulletin probably isn't the best choice I would say. The reason is that it's more catering towards a community of people. To be honest I would just learn a little bit of html and try to make the site yourself. It really wouldn't be too hard to put together. If you need some help or...
