TG Site: MeCommerce 50% revenue split for bloggers

by Kevin Dangoor

TechCrunch has the story today: GoodStorm to offer e-commerce widget with 50% revenue split for bloggers, talking about a new service called MeCommerce. There’s a whole bunch going on in this one that makes me take notice. 1) MeCommerce was put together by FrozenBear and runs TurboGears under the hood. 2) 50% of retail markup (not revenue, as TechCrunch states) is a sweet deal. 3) People can buy things without leaving your site… not necessary, but cool. 4) GoodStorm looks like a better deal than CafePress when it comes to shirts.

WebFaction gives 50% of profits to TurboGears

by Kevin Dangoor

WebFaction, in addition to having the easiest TurboGears hosting, is now good for the project in another way: they are paying 50% of their profits from TurboGears hosting back to the project. That is money that I use to get services that benefit TurboGears itself.

Not sure who WebFaction is? WebFaction was formerly Python-Hosting.com. These guys know how to host TurboGears apps. After all, two of the principal folks from CherryPy are there!

A big thanks to Remi and co. at WebFaction!
