Database Develop

A project im working on!

Mod Edit: We do not allow advertising of external sites, especially paid, on XDA. Closed thread.
I'm really tired of craigslist being over-run with spam ads.
So i'm trying out my own project for classifieds over all forums!
pretty much it's craigslist for electronics, it's free to post up to 30 day ads, 60 day ads are $5.00
If you provide a service it's $5.00 to post.
If you're a forum user, please use the coupon code "JL14" for %5 off everything if you want 60 day ads.
please do NOT spam, as it will be heavily monitored, i'm looking for admins
Please inquire about it in this post, also if you want more carriers, or categories added please let me know here as well.
Check out what I have so far
I AM NOT doing this for money, it's my love for electronics, and buying/selling them!

This may be my first post so far, but I have some advice, as a web developer. Not bashing your coding or anything here, but users like a more modern look. A good mixture of CSS and jQuery can make it pleasing to the eye.
...also, it says 2002 - 2006 on the bottom. o.o

Fixed, and do you have any suggestions to make it more "modern"?

Well, on my sites, my friend is in charge of the layouts, and his works have progressively become more modern, in terms of less pointy edges (much like the table and div's in XDA.)
Soft, matching colors, but don't overdo it.
Perhaps a soft background, nothing too flashy. Plain color, or white even. Black if it matches.

I can't offer you design advise, but I agree with Diceroll -- people judge quickly (and harshly) on appearance. Even if your website is 100% functional, people will be turned off by a very basic appearance. Good luck with your endeavor though!

That's correct, the hypocrisy of site viewers is never underestimated.
Personally, I suck at making layouts and such, but my sites functions are probably better than the competition. I also lack advertisement skills and resources. (but that's besides the point...)
Try googling CSS3 Generators, and CSS3 makers, etc.
You can easily design nice looking layouts using those types of things. You just need to know how to incorporate them well.

Yeah, i'm working on it now, just made some changes, etc.
I'm doing free banners right now, so if you guys want to be bannered, let me know!
Appreciate your advice.

Who wants to be in podcast/video show?

Attention Mods/XDA staff. We have permission from svetius to post this here. I wasn't sure about doing this either, so I made sure to ask first. We will not directly link to our site so that we do not leech traffic from XDA. We aren't trying to compete with XDA either. We are looking for interns/unpaid staff interested in tech and mobile news, so the job board doesn't fit us.
Alright guys, here's the deal. I'm looking for video/podcast personalities for a website I'm involved in. The site is Install or Not dot com. I'm not linking to it directly so we don't get in trouble with XDA by leeching their traffic.
If you are interested in becoming a personality and can commit to several hours a week in recording audio and/or video, please post a reply here, and we'll talk about it.
There are three unpaid positions available at the moment. We're looking for video personalities, podcast personalities, and media editors. Requirements for the positions are listed below. You may be able to do more than one thing if you want to and are good enough.
All positions must adhere to the following rules:
- You MUST be able to commit at least five hours per week to recording and researching the shows.
- Media editors may need to commit ten or so hours, depending on skill if they are doing shows as well. You need to be available during the week and on weekends.
- You must be able to work within the site guidelines that we set.
- You must be able to be fair and unbias in your discussions. I don't care if you hate Windows Phone, iOS, or Android. You have to be a fair reporter.
To apply for a spot, please prepare a sample of your ability for me to preview.
Podcast sample should feature you talking about two different articles of your choosing for a minimum of ten minutes. Podcasts are meant for spinning out the news and discussing it with others. Try to put your own spin on the news. Make it entertaining. It doesn't need to be funny, it just needs to hold my attention. Feel free to work on submissions as a team if you know other people who want to be involved.
Video samples should follow the same guidelines as the podcast. I'd prefer to see a ten minute video of you talking about a few articles or topics that interest you. Videos are more generally targeted than podcasts. Again, this needs to be interesting and entertaining. it does not need to be funny, it just needs to hold the viewer's attention. Videos are solo pieces.
Editors should either team up with others who are submitting clips, or make a work on their own from the podcast and video guidelines. If you have prior experience in editing, you may submit any prior work as well, so long as it is appropriate. (no porn )

FYI: The positions are unpaid internships.
Site guidelines are set by myself and the owner. They may change from time to time, but you will always know in advance. Generally, just use common sense. It's not MTV or Cinemax; it's a tech news blog.
We don't want excessive profanity in any media on the site. A few bad words throughout the media is fine, but nothing excessive, and nothing horrible. If you can't say it on cable TV, you can't say it on our site either.
Be open to new ideas and other operating systems or OEMs. I don't care how much iOS pisses you off, or how bad Samsung screwed you over on a phone. You will report on the news in a fair and balanced manner. This includes reporting on iOS, Apple, Motorola, RIM, webOS, Symbian, and anything else you can think of that might make you cringe. If you can't wrap your head around being fair to everyone, do not apply.

I too being involved in the site can say, this may look like not such an appealing postition for now, as it's unpaid - but we will surely value your contribution, which can in future but you on our regular team.
Some of the incentives of doing the job are:
Attend tech events
Gadgets to review
Meet big shots of the tech arena
Make a name and get fame for yourself
Adds value to your CV, which employer would not like a person who is popular on the internet ? This might become your full time job, who knows ?
A business card with a fancy position
An identity which can never be erased, yes that's the beauty of the internet - you might be gone and forgotten in the world, but on the internet your name and work will always stay !
And some other perks too, which I'd rather not mention on a public domain.
Besides, I would also like to tell you, you don't need to be a pro at anything to do this job, just be enthusiastic, dedicated and responsible - though you should know tech and shall be able to speak english !
Age, Nationality, Location, Occupation or Gener all of those do not matter as far as you can do the job !
So hit us up if you think you are in for it !
PS: If you think, audio or video is a bit too steep you can even write for us

Bump to the top.

Okay guys. I would like to participate in it. As you previously said that we can even write articles for you, I might be interested

Too ugly for on air but yes I am interested in a writer position. Unpaid is completely fine with me. Plus a bump for old xda'er buds.

Writers and content creators wanted!

Hi guys, I recent made a website (www.Peccassi.com) and am now looking for some more content creators and article writers. I already have a hand full of people but some more would be great! Peccassi covers World Affairs, Music, Music culture, Motors, Technology and Technology culture. I’m not looking for a News site as such. There’s no gap in the market for that. I’m looking for opinions. Not insulting, not being byist, but giving your opinion about matters in a informative but entertaining and appealing way. However, information still has to be reliable. That’s important. I'm quite serious about this site. I do want it to be a thing. It'd be cool if some people would give me a hand and hopefully we can build something awesome.
Anyone interested? Email me - [email protected]
Thanks guys
Archie.

I'd ask you to search before starting a new thread, but since the above two threads were made by you, I'm not sure that would get us anywhere...

Podcasting Channel

Alright everyone, I'm going to direct you away from my post count along the left, and ask you to just listen (read) what I have to say.
I'm a college student that enjoys technology. Ever since I was the 8th grade, I've ways been interested in technology. I'm not talking about "ooooh thats pretty. OH and THAT'S SHINEY!", I'm talking about genuine interest in technology and how it affects our lives. I'm talking about an interest in how it can help us accomplish things that would be much more difficult otherwise.
I've come to a point in my life where I can say that I have skills that can take this interest to the next level. I'm not talking about turning this into a business or a billion dollar idea. I want to take this interest and share it with others.
At this point, I would like to start a podcast that talks about new technologies (whether that be mobile, desktop, or otherwise) amongst people who also have similar ideas. I'm also interesting in creating (in conjunction with the podcast), in a way, a community blog. Anybody can write for it, meaning that people will come and go as they please. It is community fueled and driven, which is what XDA is all about.
I have the idea, and I'm wondering if there are others who share this interest...
If you've made it to this point...
If you think this is a great idea, let me know in a comment. If you think this is idiotic, let me know.
If you want in...you guessed it, leave it in a comment below, or send me a message. This whole thing is based off community input, from an amazing community, XDA...

Would you be interested in infographics about app marketing and design?

Hello
We are indie developers working on apps for android and IOS. In our time spent developing we noticed that one of our biggest problems is where to find necessary resources and materials to learn new things. Now don't get me wrong there is certainly no shortage of content about how to develop an app. But we've all seen and read articles that can be basically summed up into “If you want to market your app use Facebook”. Yeah, well that is not very useful.
We decided that in order to solve this problem we want to make community hub with all the necessary information in one place. We will scout the web for all the great articles, content and useful information about app programing, marketing and design and convert that content into infographics. This community hub will be used mainly to deliver snapshots (visual data) about very interesting (and often long articles) in a very easy and most importantly fast and readable way. This will ensure that you will not waste time searching for articles and then realizing that this is not what you wanted to know. You can just check out infographics and then decide if this is what interests you and click on the source to see all the links to articles that can further expand your knowledge about topic.
We want to hear your opinion on all this guys. This is a non-profit project and it will take us a lot of time to complete. So we want to make sure that there are people who will find this useful.
