Magento Shopping cart

Magento Shopping cart has many features and a nice interface. The down fall is it is a hog. Do not try to run this on a shared server. 1and1.com shared hosting can hardly run it. The other this moving the site restoring a back up is vary difficult. I have not had any luck doing upgrades the sites end up crashing. When I first used it I liked it now with the upgrades the memory and process hog I am being forced to switch.

If you have deadicated server the go for it.

API

In computer science, an application programming interface (API) is an interface defining the ways by which an application program may request services from libraries and/or operating systems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Api

APIs are fun tools that help you get more out of a web site. Using APIs you can integrate other sites functionality into your site or applications. http://www,meetup.com is a cool site where you can find people with similar interests and organize groups. The tool helps you manage organized groups with a calendar, event announcements, member management, etc. Those tools are cool but one function that they do not have is a tool that makes name tags. I found a site that used the meetup.com API to make member name tags for your events.

This is not a standard product review. This is a review of an open source project called POSI. You can find it at http://www.posithon.org/ This developer and team is creating artificial intelligence for the web and personal management. This is WEB 3.0… The symantec web

About POSI

Are you interested in finding people to hang out with and work on projects together? What about doing this online? We’re starting an online group for hanging out online and working on projects. The project is called POSI. POSI stands for POSI Open Source Initiative. There are a lot of open source projects that feature collaboration online. But POSI is different. We have programming marathons, but they are competitions.

The other cool thing is the POSI group meets at Pumping Station One http://www.pumpingstationone.org/ a Chicago Hack Lab

Check both of them out. This is the future of the web and other technology.

FlyingCart

pete — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:14:59 +0000

This is fantastic start for having your own online store for free. This is very simple to use and powerful. I set up a store in 20 minutes. The free version allows up to 5 items and you can make one sale. Then they have a paid for $14.99 per month fee and you get to list 50 items. Or pay $30 per month and get unlimited listings. Both get unlimited transactions.

They have many SEO tools built in. This is a good way to test out your products
