Popadex
December 12, 2002 08:15 AM
Popdex doesn't seem to be all that exciting. First, the website ratings (or Popscore, as Shanti calls it) haven't been clarified. At present, the top site is shown to have 6 links to it. Not that many. Second, it seems Popdex is only a prove-something site. Shanti is out to prove that a link spider can be put up in a few days. Third, she says "I must make a disclaimer that this site is just a side hobby." Enough to put the last stone on the grave, which isn't too far. Nevertheless, the second point is perfectly valid. That anyone can put up a current-events news & link spider in a couple of days. Not to mention the ease of LAMP in setting up the whole thing.
Update: Shanti is a He and not She as would be given to believe. And also he isn't an Indian, He is a white American. :-). Kribs found that out.

Ratnose,
Nothing comes for free these days. If you need to upload photos to a site and link to it from somewhere else, you'll need to buy webspace. Like I have done. If you are keen on displaying your photos to the world, you'll buy some webspace and host it there. That's the only peaceful option. Else you'll have to keep roaming from one host to another. :)

Infact, I've been on the lookout for a free server space providers for hosting images. It's not for hosting photos, but for hosting the small images that usually accompanies posts.Unfortunately, haven't found any. Guess, the safe option is to go for paid servers.
