debosky: honestly i think debosky's reply is certainly in place,mambenanje that is a rather dumb conclusion all in the name of attracting visitors to your so called blog.So now that browser tabs assist scammers what next after auto saving scam letters by google ?  |

@Truequest I Just sent you an email regarding the subject discussed.I dont advise the use of cms like joomla,typo and drupal,they limit your functionality.I recommend you learn things the hard way and develope your own custom simple or robust content managment consoles. |
| Webmasters / Re: Check This Out by tundewoods(m): 6:43pm On Jun 02, 2008 |
[font=trebuchet MS ]From my perspective the website design is rather a bit of the amarteur or rookie oriented with a lot emphasis made on graphics. I guess you need to look more at Web 2.0 css oriented website development if you must sail through this competitive web industry.[/font] |

| Webmasters / Re: Why Social Media Sites Cant Get Upto Millions Of Users In Africa by tundewoods(m): 7:31pm On May 30, 2008 |
Intelligent thread you have started and i must say that i am certainly not a fan of social networking in the African or Nigerian perspective. Why join a social networking restricted to Nigeria or Africa when you can be part of a robust world wide social network such as facebook or myspace. |

| Webmasters / Re: Developing & Expanding Social Networks In Nigeria by tundewoods(m): 9:01pm On May 27, 2008 |
@ basking4me Personally i have never fancied the concept of social networking until i discovered facebook.com some years ago,however having said that i still insist that the idea to have an indigenous Nigerian social networking website is really a terrible idea infact a dumb one. I wonder what particular it is that a Nigerian social networking website will have to offer that the well known already established social networking websites such as facebook,hi-5 and myspace.com have not already offered. Forget about this Proudly Nigerian thingy most of you guys fluant and believe that until we have a proudly Nigerian website before we have arrived. If any dot com venture is to make impact then it must be niched based offering relevant and daily services to a target audience.If you thing that a social networking website is an average Nigerian's problem then you must be a big dreamer. By the way the major reason i frequent Facebook is that it has actually reconnected by to my old high school buddies that i had lost contact with as far back 16 years ago ,face the facts an average Nigerian will never patronize a so called Nigerian social networking website,go ask legwork.com.ng if you doubt this. |
| Webmasters / Re: Google Adsense Is Not Working In Africa by tundewoods(m): 3:11pm On May 27, 2008 |
Google adsense is residual income, i wonder how many times i will say this to web professionals.Hoping to make a living from google adsense is actually out right stupid if you ask me. No hard feelings but i must be down to earth frank. Apart from Seun Osewa's Nairaland.com,i doubt if you can count up to 10 other websites owned by Nigerians that make reasonable turnover in terms of google adsense. hard as it seems its true. |
| Webmasters / Re: Low Payment,help Me Out by tundewoods(m): 2:40pm On May 27, 2008 |
josyisback: Quite a funny thread you have statrted here.First of all you seem to forget that google adsense revenue is directly proportional to the volume of traffic generated as well as independent (unique) clicks by your visitors. I keep laughing myself to stupor when folks like you with relatively un known websites think you can make a fortune from the google adsense program. You need to first work on your website traffic before the rest falls into place. By the way Google income is residual never depend on it as a source of living ? |

| Technology Market / Afforable Direct On Pc Wimax Modem & Linksys Wireless Router For Sale by tundewoods(m): 12:45am On May 26, 2008 |
A corporate client of mine that i deployed a small wireless internet solution which consist of a Direct on PC Wimax Internet modem and Linksys Wireless router less than 4 months old, Has mandated me to sell the equipments The asking price is rather very very OK considering that they are less than 4 months old.Due to the fact that they have opted for a larger internet access (K You band VSat) Now the going price for the WIMAX modem is 22 K while the Linksys Wireless Router is 10K. I must recommend this for anyone running medium size web firm like.I also use a DOPC WIMAX modem and a netgear wireless router in my office and so far so good. |

mambenanje: @ mambenanje Man,sorry to say this but no hard feelings,i think you are begining to step on toes with this your rather lousy post. So what if my2cents started a few threads regarding wacky news,If you looked studied the threads carefully and notice that they made sense and most times where technology related. Using the word the term "Scape Goat" is a slap on our face, And whats up with bring up porn into the issue at hand. I think you should stop ranting and taking your Un banned liberty too far dude. uspry1: @ uspry Can you please be at least sincere to yourself. |
| Webmasters / Challenges Faced By Nigerian Based Web Developer / Entrepreneurs by tundewoods(m): 6:00am On May 17, 2008 |
Well my main reason for starting this thread is for us Nigerian based web developers / designers who actually have taken the bold step to run their own firm against all odds,with all the obstacles faced in the rough Nigerian environment.Lets actually share experiences on the core challenges faced in the Web industry. Basically the core issues i believe we have is actually erratic and epileptic Power Supply, Slow & expensive Internet access and lack of proper credit facilities for small but growing IT professionals. Now im actually interested in seeing how we can address these issues objectively.Lets hear your views and proffer solutions. |
| Webmasters / Re: Lazy People Sell Links, Foolish People Buy Them. by tundewoods(m): 3:23am On May 17, 2008 |
@ Naijacute God Bless you for starting what i would love to refer to as a wonderful and a "A" rating thread.A higly informative thread to expose the loop holes and vunerability of the "So called MLM schemes. Honestly i think your title is rather light "Lazy People Sell Links, Foolish People Buy Them" i would have tagged it "IDIOTS SELL LINKS AND MORONS BUY THEM" I have never fancyed both MLM schemes and Forex trading in Nigeria due to the Band Wagon Effect and unnecessary hype and deception associated with it.I am IT professional that majors in commercial web application consulting and therefore have little or no time to waste trying to sell link referrals to gullible friends and associates so as to climb their backs to the so called ladders of success. Take it or Leave it,its just a matter of time before the cokkie crumbles after all we saw it happen before our very own eyes during the days of the HYIP aka wonder banks just about a year ago. Forex seems to have sustained a little longer but its just a matter of time,the cookie will definately crumble again and the MLM schemes such as the Get Away Club or (Get lost club as someone has rightly called it) are no exceptions. Only jobless ness and greed can lure someone into such crap. |
| Webmasters / Re: Lucurative & Heavy Demand: Writing Facebook B2c Integration Apps by tundewoods(m): 11:58pm On May 14, 2008 |
DEVELOPING YOUR VERY FIRST FACEBOOK APP . Facebook provides PHP and Java client libraries. You can download the PHP libraries at http://developers.facebook.com/clientlibs/facebook-platform.tar.gz and you can download the Java libraries at http://developers.facebook.com/clientlibs/facebook_java_client.zip. For information on where to download libraries provided by the Facebook community, follow the links under Language-Specific Libraries. Instructions also follow in the next section. Once you set up your environment, you need to prepare the server that will host your Facebook application. Setting Up Your Server In order for your application to work correctly with Facebook, you need to take the following steps to prepare your server. 1. Verify that your server can serve an HTML file. That is, make sure you can view a file from a browser on a computer that is not your server. 2. Upload the appropriate Facebook client library to your server. See above for more information. For example, if you are developing your application with PHP, its client libraries are available at http://developers.facebook.com/clientlibs/facebook-platform.tar.gz. Untar the archive then upload the PHP files to your server. You need to include these files in your PHP code. 3. If your application stores user or application information in a database, install a database such as MySQL on your server. For more information on MySQL, see the MySQL website: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/index.html. 4. Verify that you can write a database program outside of Facebook Platform. For example, try out the counter program available at http://developers.facebook.com/step_by_step.php#counter. If the counter works, then you are ready to go! In the meantime, you can take a look at some demo applications. Adding the Facebook Developer Application To add the Facebook Developer application, go to http://www.facebook.com/developers and click Add Developer. Once you add the Developer application, the My Applications page appears. This page contains links for downloading the client libraries and a sample application. With Facebook's Developer application, you can: [list] [li]Request up to 100 API keys, customize your application settings, and create and manage the applications you have developed from right inside Facebook.[/li] [li]Connect with the developer community through the discussion boards and find local developer events.[/li] [li]Find the reference material you need, including links to client libraries, sample code and sample applications, to help get you started.[/li] [li]Check out the the Facebook Developers News Feed (at http://developers.facebook.com/news.php?blog=1&format=xml) for the latest news on upcoming features and events, and the Facebook Platform Status Feed (at http://www.facebook.com/feeds/api_messages.php) for the current status of Facebook Platform. You can subscribe to these RSS feeds for the most up-to-date information. [/li][/list] Creating Your Facebook Application Once you've added the Facebook Developer application to your account, you can begin creating your first application for Facebook. Coding aside, creating an application takes just a few minutes. 1. From the Facebook Developer application's home page, click +Set Up New Application. The New Application page appears. Enter a name for your application in the Application Name field. The name cannot be longer than 50 characters and cannot contain the word “face.” 2. Follow the Facebook Platform link and read the Facebook Platform Terms of Service. Go back then check the box to confirm that you agree to the terms. Even though these are the only required fields, providing more information makes your application much more interesting to users. Click the Optional Fields link to see more entry fields. 3.You need to provide an email address in the Developer Contact E-mail field. Facebook uses this address if it needs to contact you about your application. This address can be seen only by Facebook staff. Facebook populates this field automatically with the email address tied to your Facebook profile, but you can use a different address if you so choose. 4. You need to provide an email address in the Support E-mail field. Any messages your users send from your application's help page are sent to this address. Facebook populates this field automatically with the email address tied to your Facebook profile, but you can use a different address if you so choose. 5. In the Callback URL field, enter the URL of the directory on your server where you plan to create your application. The callback URL serves two functions. 6. It's the page where you can redirect a user after that user successfully logs in to your application. Note: Logging in to an application is different from adding one, as a user can log in to your application without adding it. Logging in serves to authenticate a user so that your application can take actions based on who the user is, while adding an application actually integrates it into his or her Facebook account. This URL also serves the content for your canvas page (the home page for your application) to Facebook. 7. The callback URL cannot be longer than 100 characters. Enter the name at which you'd like your application to be hosted inside Facebook in the Canvas Page URL field, omitting any spaces. Facebook recommends that you use your application name or something similar for this URL. The canvas page name must be unique. The canvas page URL provides a way for an application to live inside the Facebook frame, although Facebook doesn't actually host the third-party content (except for some caching of images to assist with performance). Canvas pages are surrounded by the Facebook frame, and any development requested within the canvas page URL get served out of the callback URL. The canvas page is also where the FBML gets rendered. FBML does not get rendered on your server; it only gets rendered within Facebook, which is why it's a good idea to allow your application to be added to Facebook. For example, if your callback URL is example.com/ and your canvas page URL is apps.facebook.com/pokewall/, then apps.facebook.com/pokewall/poke.php requests example.com/poke.php. 8. If you are using FBML to render your canvas page, select the Use FBML radio button. If you are not using FBML and plan to use your servers to render your canvas page, select the Use iframe radio button. Your canvas page is rendered in an inline frame in the user's profile. If you are using FBML in your canvas page, Facebook's servers render the content of your application before presenting it to the user. 9. If your application is going to run in a user's Web browser, select Website for Application Type. Otherwise, if the application is going to be downloaded to your user's desktop and run from there, select Desktop. 10. If you want Facebook to integrate your application so that it can be used on a user's mobile device, check the Mobile Integration check box. Facebook provides additional functionality for applications that run on mobile devices. 11. If your application is Web-based, in the IP Addresses of Servers Making Requests field, you can enter the IP addresses of your servers that can access Facebook's servers and serve information to your application. For multiple IP addresses, separate each address with a comma. Facebook rejects any requests for your application from IP addresses other than those you listed. This is useful for security, as it prevents other applications from impersonating yours if they steal your secret key. However, it also prevents you from testing your application through localhost. 12. If you want your users to be able to add your application to their Facebook accounts, select Yes next to Can Your App be Added to Facebook. More options appear, allowing you to specify installation options and integration points for your application. See below for more details. Otherwise if you plan to run your application on an external website and make calls to Facebook choose No. 13. If you are providing terms of service for your application, enter the URL to that page in the TOS URL field. Any user adding your application must accept your terms before adding it. 14. If there are other developers working on this application with you, enter their names in the Developers field. They can modify your application. They must be your friends before you can add them here. 15. If your application gets rendered in an iframe, decide whether you want the iframe to be smartly sized or resizable and choose the appropriate radio button. A smartsized canvas page iframe fits the remaining space on the page when it loads, but the applicaton cannot change the size of the iframe in case the content changes size. For more information, see Resizable IFrame and fb:iframe. 16. It's a good idea to add an icon for your application. This icon appears in the left side nav beside your application name. The icon must be 16 by 16 pixels. Click Change your icon and browse for one. At this point, you can either save your application or continue configuring installation and integration options, as needed. Either click Submit to save it or continue to the next section. |

georgen2u: @ georgen2u Excuses,Excuses & more Excuses are the major reasons why persons fail in business,learn that today if you have not done so.Secondly allowing people to massage your Ego will not do you any good.If guys on this forum think your idea will fly.I am sorry to sound paranoid but i can bet a million bucks that it wont  (sorry but im being frank)Now your so called given excuse for not starting your naija facebook is due to cost in terms of affordability of web hosting space,then you have a long road to walk.There thousand of affordable web host scattered on the internet,i wonder why finding a host that can provide you 10GB space is a problem.I personally use a 200GB shared host and the price is quite affordable. Any way keep us posted on your social networking website Ok,Now let me get back to the reason why i started this thread in the first place. |

Can i ask a simple question ?Is your so called social networking website running ?If yes lets see the url to put it to the litmus test. If it is yet to go live,then i strongly believe you are building castles in the air my friend.I still remain adamant that its a lot more lucurative to write facebook apps than waste time coding a social networking site that will not even get up to 100 hits a day.  |

I will spare time from my busy schedule to anwser you so as to enlighten you a little.Pugs are one of the most adorable breeds of working dogs that also have a very high intelligence level similar to the german sheperd. Now beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder so they say right.If only you know the monetary values of pugs,i guess you wouldn't be asking. |
