Hi,

I'm new here, I am wondering where can I promote my website? We accepts bitcoins, but I can only find little place to promote it. For the wiki page https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade, I have no idea how to put my link on it. Does anyone could help?

Is there any other place to promote my service?

My website is http://ezcomet.com, it's a realtime message pushing service. When the bitcoin price is floating, this could be very helpful for developers to display messages on website in realtime.

Thanks.
Victor Lin.

By the way, it's very easy to use, this is why I named it "EZ".

To read bitcoin price and push to my service, here you can write Python script like this

Code:
import time
import urllib
 
import ezcomet
 
 
def read_price():
    f = urllib.urlopen('http://data.mtgox.com/api/1/BTCUSD/ticker')
    content = f.read()
    return content
 
 
def main():
    api = ezcomet.EZCometAPI(
        api_key='<your API goes here>',
        user_name='demo',
    )
    while True:
        time.sleep(30)
        price_data = read_price()
        api.write('bitcoi[Suspicious link removed]ice', price_data)
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

The javascript to receive messages is also simple

Code:
<script src="http://cdn.ezcomet.com/ezcomet.min.js"></script>
<script>
    window.onload = function() {
        function callback(msg) {
            var result = msg['return'].last_local;
 
            var date = new Date( parseInt(msg['return'].now) / 1000 );
            // hours part from the timestamp
            var hours = date.getHours();
            // minutes part from the timestamp
            var minutes = date.getMinutes();
            // seconds part from the timestamp
            var seconds = date.getSeconds();
            // will display time in 10:30:23 format
            var formattedTime = hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds;
 
            document.getElementById('price').innerHTML = result.display + ' USD';
            document.getElementById('now').innerHTML = formattedTime;
        }
        ezcomet.subscribe({
            user_name: 'demo',
            channel: 'bitcoi[Suspicious link removed]ice',
            msg_type: 'json',
            callback: callback,
            auto_tick: false
        });
    };
</script>

You can see the live demo here

If you have question about my service, you can ask me here. Cheesy

For the wiki page https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade, I have no idea how to put my link on it. Does anyone could help?

The Bitcoin.it wiki uses a bitcoin validation method (send bitcoin to the address for your username) to protect against spammers:

If you didn't want to sign up there, I've added your service:

By the way, you should change the title tag on your firstpage to something else than "Home".

- First off its not that usefull for users when the "Firefox" tab reads home, hard to know which one is EZcomet.
- Secondly the title tag is used by the search engines for both indexing and sometimes showing the results on the page.

Suggestion on new title tag (just a fast not thought through example) "EZCOMET Bitcoin realtime web message pushing"

And while you are at it add a good meta description tag, if it is good that is what google will show.


Good luck on your venture

Whitelisted. Feel free to post elsewhere (probably in Marketplace -> Services or Marketplace -> Service announcements) about this.
