The POP Framework

As Google Chrome was released, and it's parallel architecture was revealed, my little dream seems possible, and good.

A Short Overview about my Idea: The POP Framework.

We live in a Web 2.0 world, where robust AJAX systems rule the internet like: picnik.com or squidoo.com. Or Even Google.com (or at least some services)

Some weeks ago I found that little code called urchin.js. It's about 10.000 lines long javascript code, probably originally written in java and then translated to AJAX. I saw that 

Most Computation Is Done On The Client's Side!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that awesome ?

Why not move "everything" to the users side ? 1 user's action often doesn't require big computational power, but even if it does: CPU is cheap!

With "everything" I mean most of the computation. The data still needs to be on the server... or does it ? What if cookies and temporary files were utilized to work as personal data storage ??

Of course some stuff has to be on servers: BUT IT DOESN'T NEED COMPUTER CLUSTERS ANYMORE!!!

Why build more computers when most CPU time just isn't utilized ?? Why consume more energy ?

I'm not a parallel computing engineer, I don't know the specs, but I WILL make a JavaScript framework capable of computing a given set of instruction. 

It's just the next logical step. It's the time to take our computation from our Mom's and Dad's (Google, Squidoo... etc) hands and just do it ourselves.

What if search engines were people driven: 

Every page would be "crawled" by (almost) every visitor, the content of that site would be evaluated and scored immedietly, there would be no lag time of changes. There would be an opportunity to vote for that page (like on stumbleupon) and included that in search engines. Personalization would be regular. 

This is good for search engines.. or for that matter: any Web 2.0 site can utilize that. And good for the users because the computational power of the search engines (thus the quality of search results) would double or triple.. or get even better. 

btw: POP = Power Of People.

What if I took that 1 step further: What about P2P ? 

Is There A Chrome Conspiracy ????

Yeah, I'm in too. 

GOOGLE CHROME WAS RELEASED!!!!

for windows users: Download!!

(If you want a review, lifehacker just did that)

But I have to raise some concerns here: I hate going into conspiracy theories and such, but as I love massively parallel system ideas, here's one for you:

What if Google used your 1% or 0.0001% of your computer's CPU time ?

What if Google does this to eveyone using Google Chrome ?

What if Google just turns off the Googlebot (Google's spider), and just rely on this Massively Parallel System at hand (the Google Chrome User Base...), because we humans are the Best Spiders Ever (we can follow image links, we can filter out spam, etc..) ?

I mean, there's a line between the Storm botnet (computers, infected by a malware program called Storm worm and used for whatever the creators of the malware wanted to use them for), and the Mersenne project (users actively agreed on devoting the spare CPU time to find bigger Mersenne primes(math, I know.. brrr)). 

And That Line Is: Consent. 

But Googlers are a nifty bunch, so I wouldn't be surprised if they started these types of tests already... 

So answer me this question: Do you think Google would harvest that massive and powerful idea of PEOPLE ?

(one little comment, the last couple of days I was thinking about writing a Power Of People framework doing something similar...) 

The End(???) of the TDC

Okay, so it's Sept. 1. 1 AM here, today is my first school day, and the thing occupying my last 15 days was the 30 Day Challenge.

There are no more videos or podcasts but it HAS to live on. Only 23 (you read right) people earned any money on this at this moment. According to Ed, there were thousands of students starting out. Let's say 2000. Commonly known statistics: only 5% takes action so: here it's 100 people. Not too much, but only one fourth of it earned money, that's not so good.

I'm still waiting for my 1 sale on amazon (it would be about $4 so I wouldn't get a thing.. at $10 I would get a gift certificate..)
According to Amazon I gave them 18 clicks. That means their conversion should be below 5,6%.. not that good though.

I'm not actually writing to my blog though, I'm living off my google traffic (which seems to increase as I lose(!!) rankings..) I've set up the cron jobs for the autoposter, but it not yet autoposted anything.


As A Conclusion: I enjoyed the 30dc, It was fun. An expert said some years ago: it takes 28 days to form a habit. I hope the people who started at the right time formed that habit and happy with their cool blog.

I hope Ed and the whole TDC crew feel everyone's "Thank you"s. I know from experience: a "Thank you" is a so cool thing to give. It's very warm and a beutiful feeling.

The Market Samurai is very cool, not that so earth-shattering-history-making cool, but very good. The programmers and the support did an awesome superhuman job.

The Wordpress Direct team did a good job too, though I'm not that convinced.. I checked out the options they set in the actual WP-Admin panel...

"Every 30dc participant is a winner", We'll see, but certainly: WE ROCK!

Following the 30dc with Miro

The lifhacker.com blog posted a very good review on Miro, "The TiVo of Internet Video"

In the dog days of summer when there's absolutely nothing new on television (except the Olympics), it's time to start watching the web--and you need the right tool to do just that. The free, cross-platform internet video player Miro can automatically download online video series via RSS feed or BitTorrent, play almost any format you throw at it, and keep track of what you've watched and what's new and queued up for you. More and more independent producers are putting out fabulous video content on the web, but keeping up with it by visiting your favorite video hosting web site or in your regular feed reader can be almost impossible--but setting up Miro is like getting TiVo for web video. Let's take a look at how to subscribe to free internet television with Miro.

You should read the rest, quite intersting: The Rest

Okay, You're convinced now, that Miro is the new TV. Being without it was absolutely boring..

Because I love the 30 day challenge, I'm following it on Miro too. So if you haven't installed it, do it now!

How to Follow The Thirty Day Challange On Miro:

Steps:

1. Start the program
2. Click (if you're set to english..) Channels (The Top bar, where the "Files" menu used to be)
3. Click Add Channel (you could've skipped these 2 steps, just by hitting Ctrl+N (on Windows..))
4. Copy and Paste The following URL there: http://www.youtube.com/ut_rss?type=username&arg=eddale

Okay Now, You'll get your new subscription on the left hand side as "YouTube :: videos by eddale"

Click on that, it'll open the channel on the right hand side, and make sure you set the AUTO DOWNLOAD to NEW (you don't want to download all that 20 video in 1 go...)


Some Other URLs you may want to subscribe to:

• Stompernet: http://www.youtube.com/ut_rss?type=username&arg=stompernet
• Brad Fallon: http://www.youtube.com/ut_rss?type=username&arg=bradfallon
• .... There are several others I won't even list (Mofo.. for example),
• but There are bunch of others which are very cool, worth subscribing to, and if you find 1 please, comment or shoot an email. Thx.

Btw: Chad shared a pretty cool site on friend feed (http://ecorner.stanford.edu/)

the URL you may want to put in your Miro is this: http://ecorner.stanford.edu/PicLens.xml
It shows only 100 elements but I thing that's pretty cool too :D


P. S.
every time, make sure, the AUTOMATIC DOWNLOAD IS SET FOR NEW (it will only download new items..)

Test, Test. Test...

The Thirty Day Challenge is all about testing. Nothing More, Nothing Less.

This Time, I came up with the test. And I actually started it:

The 30 minute challenge: Using Market Samurai, WordPressDirect, and the AutoIncomeMaker plugin and Social marker:

I've set up a blog in 30 minutes, with the right keywords, started the autoposter, bookmarked it and: DONE!

From now on, I'll be SocialMarking sometimes there but I won't write content, I won't write lenses and hubpages. This test will be ran till the end of 30 day challenge: If I don't get results until then, I'll work on that niche (way coool numbers :D) a lot. But for now: it's an AutoNiche

Facebook

Folks!, I'm really new to Facebook.

I'm really looking for friends.. If you know me, or liked this blog, feel free to Add me as friend

I'm Thomas Chisler there..

Qassia

I have to clear some stuff up about Qassia, because a lot of people haven't used it as seriously as me.

Qassia is a new "Web 2.0" (which means people are involved) "Content Sharing Site" (which means you can write for another hour to publish there too.. pff). The great things about them:

1. Their TOS ( Terms of Service) is very loose: you can publish copied stuff too.
2. People do the revising, people who are rewarded for their work, and they are Users, not Professionals. These Users aren't used to revising articles, so they might click on your link
3. If you publish a lot of articles, you get 1 quality backlink (in the Top 100 sites page..)

Things you shouldn't expect from them:

1. You get a "quality backlink" with each article: that's actually not true: you get a mediocre backlink, which most of the times won't be indexed, so as such doesn't worth anything.
2. Social Love of anykind: they are going for the rewards and nothing else.
   

Qassia is in a closed beta phase, you can only get in with the help of an insider.
Here's my "affiliate link".. I get actually nothing from it: http://sashafiedrick.qassia.com


BUT the thing I ACTUALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT:

One of my friends (let's call him Mr. D): Asked me to make an automatic submitter for this site. It's in alpha phase. If you want to try it out, and help me, shoot me an email, subscribe to my friendfeed.. Try to contact me, I'm available.

What the software does: it takes a bunch of articles (PLRs and such..) and automatically submits it to qassia.. there are some sneaky things in it so be prepared :D

Thirty Day Challenge: Day X

Hi folks!

I'm on day X, which means:

1. I did the keyword research
2. I did the SEO research
3. I have my site up
4. I have loads of posts
5. I made a Squidoo Lens
6. I made a Hub
7. I made a Weebly Site
8. I have around 30 bookmarks in 5 bookmarking services
9. I'm writing content like crazy

So, in the laymans terms: I'm exhausted. This is not hard, but too many clicks, too many content to write each day. I know, it's because I started on Aug. 15 and not Aug. 1. So I have to catch up with everything, but... nevermind

AdWords:
I heard so many people whining about AdWords ("Uuuuuh, If they teach AdWords, the "free" system doesn't work")

(I know you certainly have read these reasons like 5 times (I know I have)) but I'd like to chew on them for a bit)

Let's define what's free: For the first run it's "doesn't cost me money"!

Okay then, let's get back to basics: Money, to be precise Currency is the value of your WORK. The Currency is an artificial thing! It makes possible for you to exchange your WORK for something ELSE. If you work - In the Ideal World - you get Currency, it's that simple. Okay, let's have a look at TIME. What you do is you exchange Your TIME with a lot of other things like: KNOWLEDGE (Learning stuff), SOCIAL VALUE (chatting on FriendFeed) or TRAFFIC ( social bookmarking)..
Money is an inferior asset compared to TIME. You can get all the Money you want with TIME, but you can't get all the TIME back that you want with Money.

So what the people using AdWords do: they pay a very high price for their time. Nothing else.

So the work you do on your site is not FREE, it costs you TIME and EFFORT.


Okay, enough of this.
