Plone and Drupal: Different Approaches, Different Results
paul.nowak wrote: Matt, thanks for the comments. I made an error on the version of Plone. It's 2.5 Plone running on Zope 2.9x. In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...

Builder's Square(R) - The First Home & Garden Comparative Shopping Engine
Unique Site Integrates Pricing, Services and Social Networking

By: PR Newswire
Oct. 10, 2006 02:34 PM

EDISON, N.J., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Builder's Square(R), Inc. today announced the launch of comparative shopping network BuildersSquare.com(R). Builder's Square(R) is the first, and only, Comparison Shopping Engine (CSE) exclusively focused on the home and garden market.

"The overall value of the home and garden market is approximately $700 billion; the aim of Builder's Square(R) is to bring more of those dollars to the online space," said Chris Piazza, co-founder of Builder's Square(R). "We have built this business with a holistic approach that integrates both the popularity and value of comparison shopping engines with the continued shift towards consumer and community generated content. Builder's Square(R) is the first of its kind in two ways: it fills a large gap in the market for a CSE that exclusively services the home improvement space and it is on the cutting edge of technology integration."

Builder's Square(R) will help consumers determine the appropriate home improvement product, and the best place for them to buy it. The site will help users narrow their home and garden product search, providing solutions to customers who do not have a final end product clearly in mind. It will then offer the convenience of searching for products across a multitude of best of breed online retailers- complete with item and company descriptions and pricing comparisons.

Builder's Square(R) has integrated complementary technology features that expand beyond the site's search function. These features include content delivery, contractor search and rating, blogs and online coupon postings. Through content delivery users can access how-to guides, buying guides, product demonstrations, product manuals and more. The contractor database is powered by Service Magic(R), and offers ratings of local regional service providers. The blog section, entitled the Square Deal(R) (http://www.thesquaredeal.com/), is aimed at keeping users up to date on breaking news and trends in the home improvement industry. The online coupon program from participating merchants will be automatically integrated into the shop-and-compare function.

"This site meets the needs of all do-it-yourselfers, consumers in the 'do it for me' market and professional contractors alike," added Piazza. "We are confident that BuildersSquare.com(R) will soon establish itself as the top resource for any home project."
