I just watched the Dragons' Den and They were bidding on a business that is almost exactly like Twitter except they actually have advertisements on their website, but I still don't understand how Applications like Twitter are the future of social networking. It's more like social madness. The tweets or comments left on these applications are so random. I've tried to imagine a room full of people communicating but not with one another, instead simply talking about themselves or just saying random things off the top of their head, I think this kind of thing goes on in the psychiatric hospital. Twitter isn't new, yeah the name is unique but it is essentially a chat room, such as popular ones Chatterhead, Teenspot and interactive chat rooms like Habbo Hotel, Second Life, etc. Twitter is even more primitive than these chatrooms because it has a character limit, causing it's users to write minute comments or sentence fragments and it has zero interactivity. It boasts itself as a micro-blog but how can something full of such randomness be close to anything like a blog. I've searched online to see if it generates any revenue because I can't see where it would but people have said it does through SMS messaging, which must be a very small revenue, and so many people text rather than SMS. It just seems so socially incomplete, there doesn't seem to be much of a business model and yet some people talk about it as though it's like a drug, "I can't wait to get home and twitter", people like that need to get a life. None of my friends or people I know say that, thank God, they all think it is rediculous. But can anyone shed some light as to how this broken communication madness application is the future of social networking?

oh ok thanks so it's just collections, not collections.php, that works, thanks!

hey guys srry i deleted that website, but here is a website i am working on for a printing company so you can get an idea of what klind of work i do. the url is http://sitebuilder.yola.com/sites/D46...

you can email me at flashcanada1@gmail.com

Yeah I'm starting to fill them in now.

Thanks. How long does the description usually take to appear? And I'm actually making a favourites icon right now.Thanks for the good comments man!

Thanks yeah I'm designing this website so my mom can sell her pillows that she makes online, I'm almost finished it, just need to make a few more pages, the rest of the pillows and other small, but important details, like setting up a bank account with Paypal and setting up shipping. Lee you mentioned Favicon's. I'm not sure what that is but I'll search it up on google. thanks for the great comments and support guys!

some of the pages aren't made yet the websites not finished but i guess maybe it's just my computer then thats slow, well thanks for looking into it for me.

all very helpful information! i've been spending more time on editing things for my catalog and i found that shipping prices, taxes and such can be set up through paypal and they automatically apply to the item when someone wants to purchase it which is great!

number 2 and 3 was helpful but unforunatley I still cannot edit the descriptions of any of the items i have in my catalog, the only things i can edit are the title, price, and image, everytime i try to backspace on the description it doesn't do anything...

well actually to be honest that link that says website built using synthasite, a free website creator, in my situation, i've built my website entirely in macromedia flash 8 and just upload the files on blank white pages so that would be cool if it could say something like site hosted on synthasite, a free website creator or something, and if anyone knows a way of getting that done that would be cool. if not then its ok.

I agree with Guido, I think that synthasite is great for building a free website, and if anyone else wants to use a different site builder they can go ahead, i mean lets be honest, after making ur website on synthasite, the ease of making it and all the great support you get, y would anyone in their right mind want to jump ship to a different site builder, and have to rebuild there whole website. I personally think doing that would be a big pain in the A. I actually don't mind every page of my website saying synthasite in small letters at the bottom left hand corner, I think that since synthasite lets me host my site for free with them, a link to there website doesnt hurt anything. infact I hope more people discover synthasite so it can grow, and if it grows, they can offer even more great features for freeloaders. I can truthfully say I like things free, and especially right now since the economy is disgusting, I recently got laid off from my job and I hope that once I get my website finished and running, it will help me generate money so i can pay my bills, and seeing how hosting with synthasite is free, it's great!

* that was fast lol

wow that was fixed, it's already fixed!
