Now Available: Clip Share Web Hosting

I am now renting out my server to anyone in need of web hosting, particularly for Clip Share web hosting. The server is fully equipped with all necessary server modifications, both software and hardware. The server is fast, trying pinging me. But anyways, if you’re willing to pay 10 bucks a month with no obligations… you should really consider starting your own video sharing website using Clip Share (… and my Clip Share web hosting :) ).

Metra Rail Accepts Credit Cards Online… Finally

For those in the metropolitan area of Chicago, you probrably have riden the Metra Rail system at some time in your life.  Well, you would imagine that could buy your tickets online and print them from home right?  Nope.  Well, not until today at least.  Metra surprised the media yesterday by announcing their new $3 milliion web redesign.  Now accepting credit cards, buying tickets is easier than ever for the train.

I just bought a monthly pass with my Mastercard because I go to DePaul University in Chicago.  It worked very well I guess; Credit card processors can only be so exciting.  But anyways, I thought this was worth a note because of how much money Metra put into this redevelopment.  About $3 million as I mentioned before.  And it took 3 years.  Kind of gives you a “guage” of what you pay for in the web development market.

See you on the train.

CBS to Acquire CNET for $1.8 Billion

“The core businesses of CNET Networks and CBS Interactive represent near perfect category symmetry in premium online content,”
Quincy Smith, President, CBS Interactive.

Blah blah blah… it’s another corporate buyout. This acquisition will make CBS one of the top 10 internet companies in the United States with a combined 54 million unique users per month (my sites get about 100,000), and approximately 200 million users worldwide.
