Here is some info I left out on Ruby on Rails. Ruby on Rails is basically like Microsofts .net, except rails is an extension of the Ruby language. Some say that you should learn Ruby before learning Ruby on Rails, I say do whatever works for you.
If you want to develop Ruby on Rail Apps you can do it in windows but it is a pain and really, really annoying. I would suggest installing Ubuntu on a seperate hard drive and downloading the newest stable version of RoR from www.rubyonrails.org. They have step by step instructions for installing RoR. If you decide to use Windows, despite my warning you will have to use a much older version of rails.

Simple do and Don't rules for Ubuntu and Ruby on rails
Do not use apt-get that is not the right way to install RoR.
All you need to do is install the latest RubyGems file then go into the terminal and type gem install rails. Walla, you now have RoR.

Simple tutorial: Building a simple app.
I have copied this small section of text from the official Ruby on Rails Guide on getting started
Note you only have to use the $ sign in the following example if you are using windows. Ignore it if you are using Linux.
"Open a terminal, navigate to a folder where you have rights to create files, …

You remember what happened when the lady on the radio yelled
"Don't open that closet, McGee!"

Huh???

Okay, you may not know it but you just said the problem in your last post. Your anti-virus was asking for your license key because you need the license key for updates to work. Your license key comes in the box that you purchased the anti-virus with. It usually will be on the cd case or somewhere inside the box. If you purchased it legally from Kapersky they will have sent you an email with your license key. You need to find your license key and enter it into your anti-virus. If you downloaded Kapersky illegally, delete it and download the free legal antivirus avg. AVG is free and they have a version you can pay for but that is optional. In my opinion AVG isn't as good as some anti-viruses but it should do the job.

I think that working with Diggs ad system may be a good idea. Digg is the 122nd top site on the internet according to http://www.alexa.com
advertizing on a popular website is usually good for business. I only see one con in the alexa information. Most users stay on the site for four minutes per day.

I'm sorry. I feel people should read EULAS so I don't want to help people avoid reading them.

Oh ya, it's spam for sure. I'd hope that I'd never sink so low as to auto-Twitter-spam the universe with my crap. Thanks for your concern though, I am mostly trying to figure out if there's a grey-hat SEO angle to all this tweety trend, because it looks like it which might be around for a while.

Your welcome Fred. Here is the grey hat way to tweeting. As the Original Poster stated use keywords than people who are scum of the universe and do use bots to follow you will pick you up just by the words you use!! So heres a simple guide. I have like 5 minutes before college so it isn't in depth
1. use keywords in your 140 character tweets
2. try to tweet on your keyword topic but it's fine to tweet to friends cause you still show up in the live timeline.
3. add links in your tweets to your site or whatever your tweeting about.
4. don't use bots and be choosy of who you follow. Who you are a follower of. If you are a follower of a spammer that doesn't look so good so be careful.
5. try tweeting every few hours or if you don't have that much time a few times a day.
6. have fun oh I'll follow your tweets so just let me know your username :)

I looked at your site and saw a few things that can be changed to make your site picked up more by search engines and also help people with disabilities ( 2 for one!) You do not have any alt commands for your images. It would only take a few minutes to add in a description to your images that makes it clear what they are to people who can't see your images and for search engines. I know adding a description to every image doesn't sound like it would help but in reality it does. I do not add a description to an image if it is a background that is the only time I don't follow normal procedures of adding descriptions.

How does this help people who can't see your images and search engines? Easy you just write in what the image represents (or does) like if it was an image of a bear drinking coca-cola the description would probably be "if a bear enjoys a nice cold drink of coca-cola; your sure too!" I personally don't like coca-cola but I thought that was a good description idea that shows with words what the image is and the search engine would probably pick up the words "coca-cola" along with "nice cold drink". I hope this helps :)

I have researched your issue and found a tool that will do its best to retrieve what it can from the corrupted pst file. If you did go over your 2 gig limit (which is what it sounds like from what you described and what I just read) than this program is your only hope and than after running this you mayhave to run another repair program which I will post after you post how this works for you http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B33B1DFF-6F50-411D-BBDF-82019DDA602E&displaylang=en&displaylang=en

You can also use this tool that microsoft made to try to recover your info here is the link to download it http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B33B1DFF-6F50-411D-BBDF-82019DDA602E&displaylang=en oh and here is the microsoft guide for this issue which has step by step instructionshttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088 I really hope this helps you! Please use my advice at your own risk! I am not liable for anything that may happen from the links or info I have provided.

I wish this was a option I would love to learn more.However I already work 2 jobs and run 2 sites so I do not have 1 second of free time.

Okay; well I will kinda say what Dani did but say it a little different.

You want to hire an SEO company because you want more people to go to your site. What do you expect that they will do for you? What they will most likely do is just change your page somewhat so it is more SEO friendly a big huge tip I have to give you is don't have your title of your page be vague have it be exactly what the page is about. Lets take a example a dude that has a site selling cheap real estate has his page title as "more real estate" if he did some SEO work on that title he could put something like "Cheap real estate, foreclosed homes and land for sale. " that would probably help out that site a lot! Since your being more clear about what that page is about. Now your metadata content should be as clear as possible lets take the same example and say the guy put "just some real estate I want to sell you." Instead he could replace that and put "foreclosing homes; foreclosed housing prices are so low you shouldn't look anywhere else!" that would really help with people that type in the words foreclosing homes the example …

Okay here is a quote I got from a Website "On May 25, 2005, the popular BitTorrent website EliteTorrents.org was shut down by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. At first it was thought that a malicious hacker had gained control of the website, but it was soon discovered that the website had been taken over by the US government. Ten search warrants relating to members of the website were executed.[8] Up until today six admins of the EliteTorrents.org website pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement and criminal copyright infringement of a pre-commercial release work"

It would be appreciated if you gave some of my reputation back since I was partially correct. that is not the only bit torrents to be shutdown by the way.

Oh, Okay sorry I did not know that I thought the whole site had been made illegal. Thank you for clearing up that confusion.
