I say Dreamhost is the best ISP in the world.
You ask why?

  • Cause there you get 140 GB Space and 1.4 TB Traffic.
  • Because there you can host unlimited domains, also when you register them not at Dreamhost.
  • You have access with ftp/sftp and ssh.
  • Provides Ruby on Rails by default
  • There you can install a wordpress, wikimedia, phpBB and stuff like that with ONE click. Yes ONE!
  • You have thousands of email accounts.
  • SVN for free! Public an private.
  • Quicktime-Streaming included.
  • Your own youtube thing.
  • 24h support, that answers within minutes

Now you ask, what will that cost? I tell you! It’s not expensiv…, it starts from 7,95 $ a month.

Guess what!?
I LOVE DREAMHOST

What is user-generated content worth?

Sunday, September 16th, 2007 | Permalink

Right now, the whole it business is talking about user-generated content, but what is user generated content worth?
If i look in the web and see websites like youtube, myspace or facebook, I see a lot of videos and profiles. Fact is that these company where sold in the last months for billions of Dollars. Fact is, that these communities have millions of users. My question is, how can you make money out of that!? Direct marketing would be one idea. Murdoch paid 580 Million Dollar for MySpace. MySpace has approx. 180 million users. That means, every user has to bring 3$ revenue! That does not mean buying stuff for 3 $, that means every user has to bring a win of 3$. Sounds little, but in fact, how many users are really active on myspace?
Another way to earn money is banner advertising, but how many users are really clicking on banners. Did you click?

Playing with Google Adwords API and PHP in the Sandbox.

I started playing with the Google AdWords API.
Before you begin the play with the API, you should enable the sandbox mode in the settings.ini File.
After that, you will have to connect with a valid Google user and put that code in your request.

print_r(getManagersClientAccounts());

That returns a bunch of client email addresses you can use to connect to the sandbox.
Now it’s time for developing…
