11/13 okay maggots.. free facebook hosting for 1 year
to first 3500 facebook developers .. joyent
http://www.joyent.com/developers/facebook
\_ This sounds interesting. If anyone uses it, I'd be curious to hear
about your experience, particularly if you can compare and contrast
to Amazon's S3/E2C services. Also, if you're an indie app
developer with a cool app, check out:

Basically, Slide promotes indie-apps on Top Friends for free.

\_ why do we need another middle man? fbml is enough
\_ I don't think you understand what's being offered. Top
Friends has over 20M users, and we will cross-promote your
indie app free of charge. I don't see how that makes us a
middle man. I suppose you could *pay* our competitor lots of
money to do the same thing. -dans
\_ Can the motd have a "no blatant pimping of your company"
rule?
\_ Why? To protect your unsullied playground of juvenile crap?
To promote more anonymous pimping of companies? -dans
\_ We got the message about your company. I'd rather
see more unsullied juvenile crap than see the motd turn
into a giant dotcom ad zone. Let it go. Anyone who was
going to apply already has. Now you just look desperate,
and that's always ugly. Hire a technical recruiter. -!pp
\_ We have a technical recruiter. She's really cool. Not
everyone reads the motd every day or even every week.
If pimping companies bothers you so much, why didn't
you bitch about someone pimping facebook and joyent?
Also, how the hell do you read a statement that
effectively says, "Hey, we will promote your app for
free", as "Come work for us?" -dans
\_ I think the difference is: (a) you are extremely
annoying, and (b) sheer fucking volume: a huge
chunk of the motd was devoted to you going on and on
about that startup. Nobody cares. -- ilyas
\_ This is precisely my point. The issue has
nothing to do with promotion; its entirely
personal. In a nutshell, I piss off certain
\_ Piss off is
(surprise surprise) taking yourself far
too seriously. Eye rolling derision is
probably much closer to how people feel
about you.
\_ Really? Explain the vitriol? -dans
motd.personalities, they will flame me regardless
of the content of what I post, and I don't care.
P.S. Who made you (or tom or psb, etc, etc.) the
arbiter of who does and does not care? -dans
\_ Good marketing isn't annoying.
\_ Since tom, ilyas, and psb account for a
majority of motd posters, I'd say they are
the arbiters of who does and does not care.
Just how many people do you think really
read this stuff anyway?
\_ You do realize that there are lots of
people who lurk on the motd, but don't
actually post? As far as I know, neither
tom nor psb write code. This being the
Computer Science Undergraduate Association,
not the Computer Sysadmin Undergraduate
Association, I don't take alumni who
graduated (or neglected to graduate) over a
decade ago, work for the UC or one of its
research affiliates, and don't write code
too seriously. At least, not when it comes
to hiring software developers in private
industry. -dans
\_ How many resumes have you gotten from CSUA
people in the last month or so? Or do I need
to join your company and sign an NDA to get
that information?
\_ Enough to make the effort worthwhile. And,
seriously, do you know any company startup
or otherwise that publishes detailed stats
on its recruiting efforts? Seriously, are
you insane? -dans
\_ your app build on an app that is built upon a platform
that is on the internet.. ceases to be viral.. cancer-
nuttin but large tumor growing... |

| www.joyent.com/developers/facebook Dell have partnered to provide free scalable, on-demand infrastructure from Joyent to Facebook developers. Facebook developers can take advantage of Joyent Accelerators to quickly launch Facebook applications capable of scaling to millions of users. A Joyent Facebook Developer Accelerator includes everything you need to develop and deploy your Facebook application. You get root access to a virtualized machine that includes all the tools for developing Facebook applications in PHP, Rails, and Python. How it works Sign up (see the orange arrow on the right). All that we ask is that your Facebook application be active and in use'. Any Facebook application sitting on a Joyent Accelerator that is dormant for more than 60 days will be re-claimed and given to another Facebook developer. All we need is some simple information, your Facebook developer key, and you're on your way. The service is completely free, unless you get really popular and need more Accelerators. You'll receive your Accelerator log-in information within 24 hours of signing up. Within your Joyent Accelerator you'll find all the libraries you need to develop great Facebook applications in PHP, Rails, and Python. Note: you can have as many applications on the Facebook Accelerator as the resource quotas allow (512 MB RAM and 10GiB Storage). You may also build applications on non-Facebook platforms, however, your Facebook application must remain active and in use in order to remain qualified for this program. Free Accelerators(TM) for facebook developers feature: Hardware Guaranteed % of CPU Bandwidth RAM Storage Dell, PowerEdge 2950 2 Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors 1/32 Burstable up to 95% not metered 512 MiB 10 GiB Special Notes: The Free Joyent Accelerator(TM) cannot be used with BIG-IP load-balancing. Mail pre-configured for outbound SMTP only, limited to 500 recipients per hour. There are no limits on the number of facebook users your application may host.
