Google is finally out with there chat client, i have been testing it just now

The new chat client is not so popular, it feels a bit lonely on google talk, but that is going to change for sure, If you have a GMAIL account (you can get one here) then you can already use the application.

Features - Not as much as yahoo or MSN yet, but i am sure they will get there in no time (already has PC-PC voice calls)
User Base - Not much either, but i am also sure they will pick up in a years time (or 2)

conclusion - Not yet the chat client of choice, But will be i am sure (just coz its a google thing)

Notes
The downloaded file is small, the download takes a minute or 2 on the slowest of connections
The simplicity of design is nice
Logs you in to your Gmail with 1 click

What is NEW Ok, simply put, a new Lyrics Website is up ! but what does that have to do with PHP DEVELOPMENT ? Well it is simple really, But we will have to wait and see if things are working fine !

The website takes the Lyrics Posts from a POSTNUKE database, checks what posts are lyrics (since the original website ( CoOoL.US ) has a bit more than lyrics), takes the title and extracts artist name, Album Name, and song name, organizes everything into easy to navigate pages etc..

Anyway that part you can see at the Lyrics and songs website, What's really new and cool and very relevant is how to optimize this dynamic content for search engines ! A few SEO methods have been used with the help of PHP, That is instead of surrendering to the fact that robots hate dynamic content, it was turned into a real advantage in the following ways...

1- Pages appear with extensions .html (with some change to the following GET gimmick) ( here ), I will explain how it was changed to display page GET parameters to be displayed as .HTML pages later (please check how it is done on the website)

2- The site is dynamic, so content relevant pages can be generated at the fly on other websites and then connect to the page on the website...

3- Static pages (real html pages) are generated and FTPed through the server to other websites (takes 10 minutes to generate the pages and FTP them) And plenty more,

i will modify this post and add more details soon Good luck and

happy PHPing everyone

Ok, the search and compare web hosting engine at buildguide.net should be done later tonight, it should be the best free web hosting search tool available online, the database is probably still not big enough but as it grows it should be a hit !

Now working on a hosting comparison engine for BuildGuide.net, this is going to be very useful i think ! since it emphasizes free services and free hosts
