pageBuzz Sucks?

I am so tired of hearing angry webmasters telling people that pageBuzz sucks my head is going to explode.

Just because something does not fit every single business model does not mean that it sucks.

Does a pickup truck suck because it only has 2 seats? Of course not because it is made to haul cargo and pull heavy loads. And it does that very well.

Does a compact car suck because it can't pull a 10,000lb trailer down the highway or fit a refrigerator in the hatchback? Of course not, because it was built to be fuel efficient and cost effective. And it does that very well.

So why are webmasters saying that pageBuzz sucks when they don't have the same model that they are used to?

Well the fact is, things change, technology changes and the way people build websites today is different than it was years ago.

The website hosting model has not changed much in spite of the amazing growth of the internet.

The typical website hosting model gives users a basic folder on a webserver, FTP access and the ability to run programs that the users create or install.

But think about that for a minute.

• Do you know how to write programs and install them?

• Do you have the time to learn?

• Do you have time to learn how to write APPS for your phone or tablet?

• Or do you download APPS that have been built by someone that does?

Well, pageBuzz.com is an APP

It is a full application for building and managing websites online. It is intended to be easy to use, simple to manage and provide all the tools needed in one place.

But webmasters are angry that anyone can use this amazing APP and webmasters are losing business, so they lash out and try to hurt us like trailer trash on the Jerry Springer Show. They punch, pull hair ad yell as loud as they can.

"But it just don't matter, C'ause the peoples are sidn with us all."

You just can't bash something because you didn't think of it, you don't drive it or you don't use it. The fact is, there are different people with different needs and some of those people need pageBuzz and some need something else.

AOL Also Sucked

I remember back to the days of AOL. Now AOL was amazing, it was huge had every possible thing anyone could want and the fact that they were the biggest company in the world was due to their amazing product.

But every webmaster, every programs treated anyone that used AOL for anything at all, like an idiot.

Well, I used AOL and loved it. They provided the same internet access as any other host, had more access points and once you connected they had hundreds of features and tools.

Now, you didn't have to use only AOL, there was an entire Internet out there you could access if you want to, but people didn't need to, they had everything they need on AOL.

That made webmasters and developers angry and they made jokes about the people that used it and looked down on those people like me.

But the fact is, I was a webmaster / developer / programmer and I had AOL. That gave me access to so many more resources than the other programmers, developers and webmasters and helped build a huge customer base.

I was able to build a successful business quickly using the tools AOL provided in conjunction with the other resources online.

As a good webmaster you need to embrace all the tools out there not just the ones you know how to use.

Today, because of tools like AOL I own my own website hosting company with a private datacenter and enough clients to make a pile of money every month.

But the webmasters that were yelling that AOL sucked are now saying the pageBuzz sucks while they search daily for customers and work part time at minimum wage jobs just to pay their bills.

They can say we suck all they want, it does not change the fact that we offer a much needed set of tools and have grown a huge loyal customer base. It does not change that our product is one of the best online and provides tools they could never develop.

We someone spends 10 years building a software system and someone else says it sucks it is hurtful. I is painful and it makes me sad.

But what has that person been doing for the last ten years while we built an amazing website building platform? Likely nothing more than complaining about everything because they themselves don't know how to make any money.

It seems to be the way people deal with anything they don't understand. Racism, prejudice and hate are just easy ways to deal with things we don't want to learn.

Rather than webmasters taking advantage of what pageBuzz can offer they just avoid it completely and use something else they are more familiar with.

Here is a great example:

I had a customer for almost 10 years and they hired a webmaster to update their website. Immediately, I get a call to transfer the website to another host. When I asked why the webmaster was moving the website, if e did not have what they needed. The answered with, "I don't know, I have not even looked at pageBuzz".

To me that is like buying a car and spending $10,000 to replace the engine without even looking to see if the one you bought already runs.

I don't understand why people are so foolish and short sighted. But luckily for us business owners know what they want and love the tools we offer them.

Yes, that means they don't have to call a webmaster and pay $100 to update a page. The don't have to a webmaster and pay when a program does not work or the host has blocked website access because a program is using too much CPU time.

It really means once the website is completed, the business owner does not need the webmaster at all. So from the webmasters standpoint, of course they are going to move the website to something less useful, less friendly and force the customer to depend on them for everything.

Why webmasters hate pageBuzz

Webmasters don't like pageBuzz because they don't have FTP access. They say they can't upload files and build the websites they want to build.

But that is not true, we have replaced FTP access with HTTP access which is essentially the same except that we can control the uploads. This helps prevent malicious uploads, site hacking and customer down time.

It also lest us control and verify that pages have the data and replacement strings required by the programming to insert ecommerce or edit page later.

But for the lazy ass webmaster, they would have to lean how to use it, they would have to spend a little more time so the customer has a better product and that is contrary to their making money.

It is so much easier for them to stick with what they know and keep business owners dependent on them.

We get the fall out

So we get the fall out, we get the blame and the hate from all the webmasters. Just like the compact car sucks to truck owners and trucks suck to compact car owners. While the smart people have a truck and a compact because they value what each offers.

So you can listen to the webmasters or make your own decision.

Should you avoid something that might offer you exactly what you need because someone else says so? Or will you make your own choices based on what you need, what you want and what is best for your business?

The fact is, pageBuzz was designed to do a certain task and it does that very well. If that fits your business model it is the right choice for you. If it does not, then it is not a good choice for you.

But in either case, it does not mean that pageBuzz sucks.
