To the boner comments. His pants are trash, granted, but learn your own goddamn anatomy. Boner would be much lower.
LMAO @ the host seemed to be aggrevated when grabbing the mic back from the poor lad who ended up with it ther whole time. LOL.
I need to find a Real Estate Venture Capital Firm…do anyone have any good suggestions?
@Sicaine people do steal ideas all the time thats why they have non disclosure agreements when u pitch etc
Great video. One main thing every start up needs is a great video demo for their product or service. That is what my company does for startups. Video demos are basically commercials. Businesses need to understand how important it is to have one of these. What better way to attract investors and customers. It’s just as important as a restaurant needing a kitchen.
Boner dude stole Oakley guy’s pajama pants
hm. wasn’t Excite the company that investors called a “piece of crap” in the documentary called Inside Job?

I’ve been trying to promote my green energy idea, The Traffic Wheel. Using only the gravity of passing cars, this device could rival hydropower in industrial power production. So far, the only interest I am getting is from cult-like groups like the Venus Project, who want to take the idea and give me no money. There is a link to the idea on my account and you have to enter “browse gallery” when you get there.

@ethanradd no, you haven’t been wasting your time. PHP can still teach you good practices and programming concepts. The important thing is learning how to program. Also, many companies still hire for PHP jobs. Ruby on Rails is very popular now. Django with python is good too (python is a good language to know a
@DelvarWorld
so have I been wasting my time learning PHP, this kinda sucks …can you recommend which languages I should prioritize, I’m a beginner, still learning …want to be a web developer
Seth is such a jerkoff in his lame oakleys
@DelvarWorld Comment part 2: However, consider that massively popular sites (Wikipedia, Facebook, Digg) are written in PHP. It is easy to get off the ground running quickly with PHP, which makes it a popular choice for developers who want to ship something quickly.
I obviously couldn’t tell you exactly why Google condemns PHP or what exactly they are using, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least that they are staying away from it.
@chikanub Comment part 1: PHP is considered by many to be a bad language for many reasons. Up until PHP5 the language plain sucked (no exceptions, wishy-washy OOP implementation). PHP has always been notoriously slow, inconsistent naming conventions, very easy to write bad code with, gross inconsistencies between versions, inconsistent method return values, and many, many more things. It is kind of a joke language amongst more entrenched developers.
@chikanub PHP isn’t allowed at Google because everything there is built so that it runs on Google’s massive infrastructure, which runs on their own database system and Python. There are some things that don’t run on Python, but virtually everything does and PHP is just a no no.
Another bunch of great tips!
Thks
Hey Jay,
Great stuff again this week. Keep it coming you are helping me at least..:)
Great vid. I run into people all the time that have ideas but no real ideas on how to monetize. To me, it seems like it’s a question that needs to be answered eventually so the sooner you understand who is “writing you the checks”, the better you can tailor your product/service to suit the customers needs.
