40sale.com Distributed API

December 27th, 2006 | Posted in: Business Development, NET's Portal, Production | Created by: Pico Seno

Across on my mind that it will be very nice to build distributed API so eventhough merchants already have their online webstore, they still can be merchant member in 40sale.com.

this feature connect their product page to their account in 40sale.com seamlessly. Users can query discount from the main page of 40sale.com and registered users can add to their wishlist while they browse merchant webstore. Bhinneka.com and glodokshop.com will take advantage from this feature.

Toward Web Services

December 27th, 2006 | Posted in: NET's Portal, Platform, Production, Web 2.0 | Created by: Pico Seno

Web Hosting business process nature is the easiest way to understand the concept of web services. The main concern is operation. The advance model of web services we can look up to internet big boys like google, yahoo and amazon.

Now, we are challenged to get as much user as possible… just in three months, hopefully about hundred thousand users should registered to our portal… what we can do to answer that when we had almost nothing but joomla comprehension and a fair knowledge of PHP?

What reason to challenge ourself?
The challenge itself is a strategy to win the internet competition in Indonesia… and of course starting to feel worldwide competition.

Why three month?
Speed is crucial to win when it all about momentum and trend.

Why hundred thousand registered users?
This is what we called capitalization of our business. Remember in this business and most of market capitalization model, customer is the most valuable asset. Big brands always represent big (quality and or quantity) customer as their asset. We have learned, now we show work result.

Why web services?
Simply leverage our competency from development into the whole business and face the biggest customer ever, the consumer.

Where to start?
- compelling concept
- simple web services (web hosting/application service provider) operation model
- development competency improvement (scripts, databases, and user interface)
- advance internet and massive marketing

detail of developing web services infrastructure (production) will be available in later post

- go low — cut off budget

on ongoing projects
