Do both. You would be nuts to depend on a single cloud provider, as the model for clouds allows for adjusting "the dial" on performance to increase revenues.

Spend $30K on physical equipment and network, and $10K on cloud deployment.

Then, over the course of a year or two, as you expand and learn how the cloud "really works", you can adjust as needed.

You can make any app you like. It wont get into the app store if it duplicates functionality provided by Apple.

Uh... well.. it looks like a remake of Google Wave with Google Docs access and SSL. How is this "a new way to communicate"?

Short answer (in this order): 2. PHP 1. Ruby 3. Uh.. isn't this "almost" ruby? 4. WTF?

Long answer:

For the record, I am biased. I prefer functional, readable code that is not subject to some mystical "coolness" quotient dictated by some "gurus" in Silicon Valley. I can program in almost any language, and yet I still find Ruby almost completely unreadable.

I will not hire a developer who "can write that in 10 lines of Ruby", because none of those 10 lines is documented, readable, or debugged. Not that there's anything wrong with Ruby per se, but my experience is that it's an attempt at RAD which is a process that usually isn't preceded by an architectural design stage.. Again, my experience, not necessarily common.

For single-threaded web functionality, I prefer Object Oriented PHP 5.3 + jQuery + PHPLiveX (for object oriented Ajax) + Postgresql (database).

For server process (single or multi-threaded) code, I prefer C# (mono-project.com) over Java. Perl is still a contender, but its dwindling number of monks available, and its waning interest level among new developers makes it a distant second.

For mobile App development, PhoneGap, Corona and MonoTouch are good for quick development, but Objective C still owns the house for native development until someone comes up with a contender (I hear that there's a mono project under way to compile C# (Mono) to Objective C... which would be cool. C# is much easier to manage than Objective C.

why not?

Whenever i see "feedback for site" requests.. I cringe... most designs suck. While yours could stand a few hours of work from an overall site designer (of which I am not one), I was pleasantly surprised. NOBODY makes it easy to find what I want, but your first cut provides clear navigation to exactly what I might be looking for.

Additionally, it's clear within 30 femtoseconds that the site is geared towards musicians. Nice work.

Now, for the money. Quickly, QUICKLY implement automatic (affiliate-based) listings for the music gear on eBay. People will click on the links and if they do AND they buy, you get a commission. It also provides you with a HUGE inventory of equipment out of the gate.

Also, give people a way to load their listing by simply giving you an ebay auction ID.. (ebay has an API for this), and it will become the thing to do.. post an ebay auction, then list it on PeerGear.

Finally, once your natural inventory grows, you can limit the number of ebay auction listings per category to focus on your own user base and keep traffic local.

You people have way too much free time. I'm going to get Congress to pass a law stating all free time must be given to the gubbermint.

Lynda.com pretty much owns the online training sector, as far as I have found. While it's not exactly the same, it is similar.

Good God Man. Get a microphone that costs more than $2, or edit your audio after your record it. There's WAY too much static.

Also, give Mr. Roboto a valium so he loosens up. ;-)

You're mistaken... The mere fact that you've done this, and gone public with it, guarantees that you'll be single for the rest of your life ;-)

Just kidding. Nice work!

In any system, there has to be a "first". The first bacterial spore, the first amoeba, the first star, the first planet.

Why is it so hard to think that we could be the first?

Also equally curious, why MUST they look different? Maybe they're already here and they look just like us.

Partner with a finisher. Focus on your skills, collude at the start on the features, and let them take over and close the project up while you start up the next.
