Progress is slow, but we are slowly making progress.Never mind how stupid that statement is, but sometimes software development is a slow but steady process with iterations building upon the previous.
Our original prototype of Mustfindit, built upon a PHP Framework offered a great solution, but it was not scalable. Just the processing of the dynamic content brought our servers to their knees.
As we came to the understanding that Mustfindit would not work, Google announced Google App Engine which allowed developers to run software services on Google's servers. The GAE also included user authentication which both virtually reduced our operations and support costs to nil.
The main drawback with GAE is that is Python based where our prototype was written in PHP...
Don't get me wrong, Python is a powerful language, but when our developers background are in PHP and C/C++, you get a strange look from them when they are asked to switch. No complaints though.
So where are we taking Mustfindit?
The original scope of Mustfindit was an eBay alternative. This is a rather overwhelming development task given that there are very well established competitors include the big E. While it is not an impossible task to build an eBay alternative, it was not fit for our Corporation.
Today, the scope of Mustfindit is has changed to a management system which facilitates the creation and publication of unique content by Users. Users will have the opportunity to share a percentage of the revenue generated on the Google AdSense Network.
