mudge··on A New Operating System
Well I think it is interesting. But I agree that it would be more particularly news worthy and notable if I had something more to show about it. I've been researching for 3 weeks and its going great.

mudge··on The Programming Strategy
I write blog posts sometimes. When I write something that I think might be interesting to Hacker News or programming.reddit.com I submit it there. I also submit stuff sometimes a few other places like mixx.com and digg.com. I tell friends when I add features to newsconomy. When the site is better I'll write more about it and submit blog posts to more sites, and I'll send email to bloggers and other people on the Internet I don't directly know but who I think the site might be interesting to.

I totally know what you're saying. Maybe promote it a little bit, get some feedback, make it better, promote it a little bit more, get some more feedback, make it better. Promote it more based on your confidence of the site being better. That's what I'm doing. I've loved some of the feedback I've gotten, and it has been really helpful.

You are right, you can set the price of any item you own and that is its value, especially if someone else buys it for that price. When you buy an item you get the ability edit the description, the title, the tags, and the price. You can change the price on any item you own. Also, when you buy an item, it puts it at the top of lists.

mudge··on What programming language should I start with?
Do want to learn Web programming? PHP is probably the easiest programming language to learn for server-side web programming. I've read several books on PHP and looked over a bunch, and a lot are pretty good, but one of the best is this one: http://www.amazon.com/PHP-MySQL-Development-Developers-Libra...
