great blog! thanks…

great blog! thanks…

So its quite funny: two frauds arguing over business etiquette…

This custom code of yours is available for $499.00. You buy a license from Russia-Dude, he makes a couple tweaks and you sell it on eBay for 25K. This is not your design, idea or work.

I also find it unconscionable that you use other people’s copyrighted code, remove the copyright, and claim it as your own. Remember that one Mr. Willis? Your AJAX-like javascript? Do you remember your answer, Mr. Willis? You blamed your Russian programmer. In no uncertain terms you called him a thief! I had to take what you sold me and completely modify and, in some cases, completely rewrite the code so as not to propagate your flagrant abuses of other’s work.

I don’t think you are in any position to speak about business etiquette to anyone sir. Almost every claim you’ve made in response to this thread is inaccurate to say the least. And of course you’ve seen other metasearch engines that do all of these, you sold me one! (Again, save the additions Russia-Dude has added.)

Further, isn’t it interesting that DigForIt’s about page is identical to what you provided for the engine I bought from you 9 months ago, and identical to the website that sells this this engine for $499.00? When asked about it you’re response was that you don’t do copywriting and it is just a place holder for the new owner. Hmm, two problems: using someone elses copyrighted material as a place holder without express written permission is, well, what’s that word… sarts with a T… andyway, I have documents from you stating you would provide complete documentation of how the engine worked and how to maintain it. Instead, what I received, again, was someone elses copyrighted material and never any of the documention promised prior to sale. Of course, this wouldn’t be a problem for someone using Mr. Russia-Dude’s code since you can sell the webiste as a complete whole. But, if that’s the case, then what you’ve been telling people here would make you a … what’s the term? Starts with an L I think.

Or how about this; when asked about the code base your response was… “It wouldnt be the first time hat [your spelling] a programmer has done original work for me and then reused my code for a new project.”. So is that what you will tell the new owner of DigForIt when they find out what you’ve done, as I did?

I could go on for hours with example after example of your deeds, but I needn’t bother. You will be your undoing.

虽然 Google 很powerful，但是很多时候在查找信息的时候我喜欢比较一下在别的搜索引擎上的结果。一般都是 Yahoo 或是 Technorati 等，不过跑来跑去而且同时开几个窗口挺费事的。DigForIt 也许可以….

Which one is it? You have either ran a script without the gui, graphics,etc or you have taken it all a few steps further and developed a business. You can´t speak in the past tense about things you have not yet done. Furthermore, your responses(and not just the once I have quoted above) are a contradiction of terms. The reality of the situation is that you are Trolling and I won´t continue to feed the Troll. I think the most ironic thing is that you entered this thread with a false claim about an engine in which you have not seen the source code and one that covers 9 more categories than Jux2 (I have personally never even seen another metasearch engine that covers categories like Blogs and Jobs..much less a market for such scripts), yet you followed it with a hint that you would be selling your own project in a similar attempt. Also…For you information, you can´t customized a script and apply it to another category. It is not possible for you to customize a image search script and then apply it to classifieds for instance. Every category is a complete individual effort. You can´t apply a cookie cutter method to accomplish this type of effort.

Regardless of what you reply with..you won´t get another response from me.

This is the last time I will address you. The base of my search engine is not off the shelf. There is nothing comparable that processes meta-search for web, images, video, audio, blogs, jobs, classifieds, products, etc. There is nothing off the shelf that does any of this in Ajax…not to mention the tagging and pay per click engine that I have developed and implemented. I have not customized an off the shelf script. Your sentiment is misguided and misplaced. Furthermore, it would be wise to learn some business etiquette. I can´t imagine how you would expect for me to want to chat or talk with you considering your fallacious claims. I don´t need to discuss anything with you.

Have a nice day and good luck developing your engine.

This is not an off the shelf script. You can´t possibly have anything running similar to my engine…especially running job, classifieds…and doing tagging. There is also a pay per click engine that I developed. This entire site was developed from scratch.

I wouldn´t quote such a high percentage, but as someone who has managed quite a few software projects I definately understand your sentiment. It actually would have been good idea for me to provide a snapshot of the code.

Have a nice day.

Thanks for your post. The beauty of reputation management systems on the internet is that it provides exposure. btw…I also received a great feedback on that project.

I would not exactly call it “serial”, but I have made previous transactions. However, your post seems to be a bit of an indictment..presuming that there is something wrong with me selling off technology that I will no longer use.

Contrarily, I think this should give a prospective buyer more confidence considering that I have handled software transactions in the past and the buyer was satisfied enough to give me a great feedback.

Also, I am absolutely positive this this will not be the last time I sell a web based business.

Hopefully when I launch Koove.com, you will become a user and be pleased with the fact that I used good means to produce an application that provides value to you and others.

Have a nice day.

99 of 100 programmers are worthless, so if I can’t review the sources to make sure the code isn’t junk why would I buy it.

Heck I have 99 programmers standing in line who can write me crap adn take my money!

Ondemandsystems.com seems to be down.

You are absolutely correct. Digforit.com could only be produced from scratch with months of coding. The “off the shelf” php meta-search scripts are toy scripts. I would know because I have played around with them in the past. However, I have also used c++ and Ajax with this engine.This engine also does alot more than your normal metasearch engine.It´s not the greatest engine in the world, but certainly there is nothing off the shelf that even remotely compares. Like I said in the auction, this was a research project…and I am also still making some additions and doing some bug fixing.

Hello Nick,

I am going to advise the winner of the auction to do this. I built some RSS funcionality and tested it with another application so I felt no need to reproduce it here. However, that is a good idea. I also have some other great ideas for the new owner. If I was going to operate this myself, I would do several things.
