Have you guys heard of a website called studentbox.com… It’s a new community that just launched a few months ago in the UK… All my friends are on it now… Really cool place where students can create their CV, look for jobs, find information about their university and the places to go to near it… I love the service! They even have free uni books to download… Go studentbox!!!

Wow. There are a lot of ignorant blowhards in tech but “James from FaceySpacey.com” you probably take the cake. Every post you make on this site you insult other people and then you make a long post attempting to sound like you know what you are talking about.

Somebody posting that Facebook has 3 APIs and then you coming back with a reply stating that “you don’t know the APIs whatsoever” without even knowing anything about this person is very 1st grade.

You seem to have a strong opinion that Power.com is doing something right but insulting others because they don’t agree with your opinion is ignorant, childish and self-centered. The funny thing is that you come across extremely rude and yet you post from an account linking back to your own website. I’m going to spare you the business 101 lesson but in short saying insulting comments and linking those comments back to a product, website, etc. is a sure fire way nobody will ever use your website that reads these comments.

Also, I’m not going to challenge your apparent lack of dev skills but how many screen scraping applications have you written? How many APIs have you written? And when I ask about APIs I’m asking about APIs that you’ve actually built not APIs you’ve accessed. Building an API and USING an API are two very different things. I’ve written many of both. Which was harder to develop or which required more “sophistication”? If you say screen scraping you’re not even a developer just some kid with an opinion on things he’s never even worked with.
