Just got a request to install Wordpress blog for a client that will potentially receive a large amount of traffic. So I opted to use the Mosso.com Cloud Hosting Platform by Rackspace.

Why We Give More Weight to Facebook Application Development Over MySpace

I was just reading MySpace Developer Platform: Jim Benedetto, MySpace on Jeremiah Owyang's blog. He is at the Social Graph Conference in San Diego. I wish I was there. Anyways he was posting a bunch of information about the MySpace development platform and it really shows an impressive approach on their part in reaching out to the developers community. Their approach is much better than Facebook. Yet we still give more priority to building Facebook apps and maintaing our presence there than w… Continue
