"This guide shows you how to configure the settings and integration points for a Facebook Platform application and configure your host server. It does not discuss the actual development of your application. You can find the code for some sample applications on the Facebook Developer website. You can create an application in minutes using the code for a basic Facebook application in the Developer application (follow the example code link). Follow the sections in this guide to create a Facebook application. The essential steps are: * Preparing yourself and your server. * Adding the Facebook Developer application to your Facebook account. * Setting up your application on Facebook. * Developing your application (beyond the scope of this document). * Managing your application.

This is the first thing everyone should look for. I can give you a list of 100s of hosting providers who claim (and not guarantee) 99.9% uptime. On the front page the write "assured 99.9% uptime" but if you read TOS, they don't guarantee it, and there lies the catch. Fore my detailed review, I monitored each of the service using online uptime monitoring service Monitor: HostTracker, averaged over 4-6 months. BlueHost: They used to be great until last year, when they didn't have enough customers, all squeezed into the same servers. If you look into their reviews till last year, they look awesome. Reason is clear, they were good at that time, they were not that greedy. Due to the greed that they have been possessing over last year,  they suck on quality. Practically, I have attained practical uptime of 97.21% (This means 15 hours downtime monthly) and if you get frequent account suspensions (discussed later) downtime increases further. DreamHost: They seem to follow a similar trend with BlueHost, continue to fall in quality. The uptime I was able to attain  was 98.59% HostGator: Like others, they are also getting bigger, squeezing more people but still they seem to have quality as they are the ONLY Web hosting providers that ACTUALLY GUARANTEE 99.9% uptime. Woohoo, this forced me to try their service. And trust me, I actually achieved a figure very close to it. My averaged score over 6 months was 99.84 %. This is brilliant. (during October, I even got 99.99%)

Scott Karp over at Publishing 2.0 has an interesting discussion going about the unnecessary frustration users experience at the sites of mainstream media publications. In a previous post, Scott attributes the problem to the fact that stories are written with the print mentality even for the online version.

Mastering PLR simulcast with Doug Champigny, The PLR Master was quite well received but unfortunately we had more questions than we had time. Due to that limitation we had to stop the call and schedule follow up. What we didn't have time to discuss last Wednesday will be uncovered tonight! And only if you participate in live call you can access that info for free: The Mastering PLR Simulcast - Part Two Wednesday, September 3rd at 8:00pm Eastern

With User Labor, we propose an open data structure, User Labor Markup Language (ULML), to outline the metrics of user participation in social web services. Our aim is to construct criteria and context for determining the value of user labor for distribution. We believe that universality, transparency, and accessibility of user labor metrics will ultimately lead to more sustainable service cycles in social web. ULML outlines the metrics user labor, but does not provide direction for calculating its value. Calculating the value of labor is a fairly subjective matter, and formulations may vary from service to service. In order to deal with this subjectivity in the best way possible, the metrics of user labor need to be accessible and transparent as a basis for initiating actual value discussions. >> aka: PEERS IMS needs this info to calculate value!

Nowadays many JavaScripters are aware of the advantages of event delegation. Chris Heilmann and Dan Webb, among others, have discussed its advantages, and I've been using it as much as possible for about two years now. Event delegation is especially useful in effects like dropdown menus, where lots of events on links may take place that can easily be handled at the root level (an or in this case).

Great discussion of Twitter against the backlash. Just heard a scathing account in NPR this morning from an uninformed journalist describing Twitter as passé like Second Life! It's all what you make of it.

Interesting discussion about moving from the "page" metaphor to a "stream" one to signal where the internet is going.
