A Recent Observation

Up until recently I had 7 different domains pointed to one of 2 servers I run for pretty much building experience in developing online Internet applications.

After getting tired trying to keep content targeted to each one, I finally combined everything down to one server. Since one of my domains is home to a popular open-source php application I was getting alot of traffic through this site. But as I was running a production level server on older versions of software, I wasn't able to upgrade the server and therefore improve the open-source project.

So, I moved the open-source project to Sourceforge and didn't get the domain repointed to Sourceforge for a couple of months. While comments on my articles here aren't burning up the wires, I was getting some thoughtful and enlightening comments, these comments allowed me to flesh out my opinions clearly and were fun to respond too.

Two weeks ago I completed getting the open-source domain repointed to the Sourceforge site. Since then I have not had one comment left on this server.

So, I guess the moral to this story is without magnet content and widespread links to my project bringing the masses here, I'm not getting any feedback any longer.

Over the next couple of months I will be upgrading this system and redesigning the content and pages. While I am in the process I will be considering ways to market this site and try to get a core group of 20 or 30 people together for interesting and insightful conversations.

I may start offering blogspace and e-mail accounts for those who prove fruitful.

Well until then...
