hey all,

Checkout my brand new website theecofind.com. It is an aggregator of all eco friendly products. I have been on the "green" bandwagon lately and thought I should contribute somehow to that movement. So, here it is!

From the technical perspective, it is just a rails app, backed my mysql and I use sphinx for search. As always, one of the plan is to try out new technologies. I have good usecase for using neo4j this time. I am looking forward to doing that! Also, I am getting tired of my hosting provider and the stupid restrictions and might make the move to heroku. That seems to be THE place for hosting rails apps nowadays.

I have also been reading a bit about SEO and marketing lately. See, my last site bombed because I am so awful at marketing. I totally think it was a good idea but of course my market was half way across the world :P Anyway, that is a topic for another blog post altogether. Time to change the strategy a little bit this time! I am also in touch with some vendors who are willing to list their products on my site. That's a good start isn't it?!

Feel free to give me feedback, tips, suggestions anything. I would love to hear it. I have a list of features in my backlog. Hope to crank them out all. oh, I should go add a "spread the word" link :P Watch out for more updates!

Cheers,

Mahesh Murthy
