Re: 64 Best BuddyPress Themes for 2019

Scott Prock — Sat, 25 Feb 2017 03:01:56 -0000

I find it bad form to promote an article with "themes for 2017" when a good portion of them haven't been updated in several months.

This is the second comment on this post, some of the other ones are not showing a count, so far this is the only one that is. I will have to use this one as an example to troubleshoot what is going on.

Re: Install Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL and phpMyAdmin on OS X Mavericks or Yosemite

Scott Prock — Fri, 23 Oct 2015 00:08:19 -0000

I was getting 502 Bad Gateway when trying to access a virtual host. Tracked it down to Unix sockets. The error I got was ... unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock failed ... There's a discussion further down with options to try and I found that changing my configs to this ...

Change the Nginx vhost from:
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;

To
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

which matches the listen = in php-fpm.conf

When I tried to use the unix socket by changing the php-fpm.con to match my Nginx config then restarting php5-fpm would fail.

Hope this helps someone else ... Scott

Re: Knicket App Search Introduces New Features

What a great find, I'm adding it to my research toolbox. Have you seen uQuery, they have an app store search engine as well. It looks like Knicket is more comprehensive though.

Re: Report: Free-to-Play Developers Need to Go Big or Go Home

Scott Prock — Thu, 12 Dec 2013 23:46:00 -0000

Wow, somebody better not tell King (developers of Candy Crush Saga) about this. I believe their top in app purchase is $3.99 and what number are they on "EVERY" platform?! Oh yea, #1 LOL ...

I don't see how these analyst companies can make blanket claims on data alone. It's just like pundits claiming the top developers are skewing revenue to the point where indie devs don't stand a chance.

Study the market, LEARN what the top companies are doing and emulate their success. Candy Crush is a prime example of a simple concept that has hit it big.

... and, I just realized this article is over a year OLD HA! I wonder where those "Go Big" developers are now?

Such a sad story, thoughts and prayers to the family. On another note, I think it's extremely poor taste to target propane ads with a tragedy such as this.

Wow, great giveaway! If I win, I'll use the resources to speed up my design process. Looks like this will help me update my portfolio too ;)

Re: Push Notification app in minutes - App development for Mobile and Desktop with Application Craft

Scott Prock — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 23:56:50 -0000

Please excuse the newbie question, but isn't push notifications something that can be done with a native app. Why would I need to pay a third party for push notifications. It has been my understanding that push notifications have been one of the biggest advantages with native apps vs web apps.

I can understand if this helps a web app integrate push notifications, that makes sense, but can you explain any advantage for native apps. Thank you.

Yes, that is correct. GoMobile is using the app builder from BiznessApps

Hi Dave, thanks for commenting ... I agree, I think Buzztouch could become the Wordpress of app development. I'll certainly be keeping an eye on it.

You might want to re-check your facts on the platforms this service is available on. Great article otherwise. I signed up and the iOS is not an option, but you can be placed on a waiting list.

Re: 3 Like Gating Alternatives for the New Facebook Timeline

Scott Prock — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:52:28 -0000

This wasn't a reaction to a backlash, it was there from the very beginning. Your visitors can see up to 10 apps with 8 of them in your control. You can create more apps than 10, they just won't be visible to your audience. The reason one would opt to create more apps is to set up a semi-private/targeted offer by linking directly to the app that is not visible.

Hope that made sense ... Scott

Re: Review: Social Sales Engine – Crowd Conversion 4.0 – Facebook Contest App Generator

In my opinion, it shouldn't be sold just yet. I certainly wouldn't be offering it to any of my clients

Hey Jim, I agree ... I'm at a crossroads, I contacted Sam directly and wasn't exactly kind with words. He refunded all my money on the spot via PayPal ... I then got an email the next day from Robert offering a sincere apology.

I understand how things can come up that make it tough to handle something like this, and I have been ready to post the rest of my review, but I also don't want to end up black-listed in the IM community.

I have a tough decision to make here, my review could have a serious impact on their business, and part of me feels obligated to report what has happened so others can make a more informed choice whether of not to get involved.

Re: Facebook Sucks: Google+ Blows Away Facebook for User Visibility

I love how stereotypes come about. P.C v. Mac huh? with the Mac users being the "cool kids" ??? ... hmmm, then how would the "cool kid" "Mac" users pay for their higher priced toys if they had no "Jobs" ... sorry that was what I pulled out of your comment Buck, but it just makes me laugh cause I work my tail off to be able to purchase my cool Mac toys ;-)

Re: Lay off the Social Media Experts

Scott Prock — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 14:22:53 -0000

I agree most "experts" are focused on the wrong metrics, but there's also a difference between those who are self proclaimed experts / gurus and those who are given such titles by their peers and clients.

To a business owner who doesn't understand social media, anyone with a Facebook or Twitter account may be considered an expert. It's important for any business considering social media to at least educate themselves on the options available.

I've never liked the term expert or guru anyway. The speed of change online makes it impossible to master it all. I too (like many others) prefer the term specialist, or strategist.

Contracting a social media specialist may be less expensive than assigning, or hiring a full time employee. When you look at the entire picture of what an employee costs, contracting can have more of a benefit than just dollars.

It all boils down to research, anyone looking to delegate or hire should do their due diligence, just as they would for any other professional they add to their team.
