I know there are a lot of Amazon Associates out there who would like to discuss the program, how to increase earnings, technical issues, new product offerings, and changes within the Amazon Associates program. In addition, I've noticed the the official amazon forum is rather useless, as it isn't moderated.
I'd like to recommend everyone who wants to learn more about the associates program, or just to hangout, please feel free to stop by our associate forum. You don't need to be a customer of ours to enjoy our forum. We're going to be moderating it, so if you post a question, you'll receive a prompt knowledgeable response.

Blogger versus Wordpress
Was recently thinking this weekend, why Google didn't just purchase WordPress to use as it's default blogging platform.
WordPress seems to have more features and gadgets, which makes it more useful. Both are very clean and easy to use, but I still think WordPress is a hotter bloggin platform.
My wordpress blog is at PuReWebDev.com, check it out. I use it to do a little promotion of my e-commerce sites.

Developing Cool Applications
I've been working on developing a web-based e-commerce solution for affiliate marketers to have their own e-commerce websites. The service has actually launched already with surprising amounts of success. We've put in a lot of hard work, and continue to crank out several new features on a weekly basis.
For a good amount of time, development was at a near stand still simply dealing with customer service and support issues. That quickly got old, and I realized that the problem with our development cycle was that I was on the phone helping people do simple things that a flash video should do.
I've recently taken the last month to change our business model slightly. Most businesses that I've created in the past have been phone heavy, with lots of customer hand holding. This obviously creates a scalability problem for small start-ups. Putting in the features that customers need to make changes on their own, is one of the major new directions we've decided to take.
No more phones : ) , feels good.

Considering Zend Encoder
For the longest time, I've had clients that have wanted to download my application for use on their systems. Part of the reason I created a web service is so that I don't have to concern myself with platforms other then the one I run on.
I've been thinking about buying Zend Encoder to protect my application. I like the fact that it has a license system and you can protect your intellectual property, even remotely. Maybe I'll continue with my SaaS business model and forget all about this download and software distribution non-sense.
