The Huffington Post
The Huffington Post portal was launched
May 9, 2005
and very soon it became extremely popular.
While one reason of the apparent success of
this portal is that their contributors are popular journalists and well-known
personalities from politics, business, and entertainment, the other reason is
that the development team has been able to provide a technical solution that
was up to the challenge.
TASK
To implement a news portal capable of sustaining heavy load, including peak
load, and convenient for both visitors and authors of the entries.
CHALLENGE

engines queries,

The Huffington Post
SOLUTION
The portal is based on the MovableType platform, which has been modified to minimize
the number of database queries and to improve performance. To load a server in order
to process pictures, CSS and other statistic content, Amazon S3 is used.

To ensure stable and efficient work under heavy and peak loads we have used the
memcache technology, which is a general-purpose distributed memory caching system
that allows speeding up dynamic database-driven websites by caching data and objects
in memory to reduce the number of times the database must be read.

QArea developers have implemented a rather serious new functionality for this site:
basing on Google Maps API it was created our own custom map that operates a large
number of images generated by our team, works with large amount of data (about a
million rows) and supports a huge number of users.

A powerful statistics system has been implemented in the back-end: there is a
statistics of tracking of entries, statistics of visits referred from different search
engines. There is also statistics of the sites referring to huffingtonpost.com and general
tracking of keywords/key phrases which can be used to refer the users to the site.

RESULT
URL: http://www.huffingtonpost.com
The site has been featured on the main page of Yahoo several times. The site lives
perfectly with 200+K visitors per hour.

RebelMouse
CHALLENGE

The task was to develop a social media aggregator that allows to create user
accounts, to connect different social media accounts and conveniently manage
the information from them on one single platform.

DESCRIPTION
Social media aggregator for managing social media information.

SOLUTION

RebelMouse is an aggregator for social media that was launched by Huffington
Post CTO Paul Berry. On the first look this platform looks like a digital
newspaper that represents user’s social media events.

Basic registration allows users to connect their accounts on Twitter and
Facebook. The updates from the connected accounts are represented in the
collage-styled information flow that shows user’s presence within social media.
URL: https://www.rebelmouse.com
RebelMouse allows user to arrange the posts displayed on the dashboard. The
user page is updated automatically, but the user can customize it deleting
updates that are not necessary or sticking the important ones to the top of the
page. Also among the RebelMouse tools there is a bookmarklet to share any
content that has been found by the user on the Web.

The RebelMouse platform also works on the mobile application for iOS. This
allows people and businesses who has huge personal followings to choose a
convenient way to make their fans reaching all their recent updates.

Loki.com
DESCRIPTION
Skyhook was founded in 2003 to capitalize on the increasing demand for
location-based services. The first location technologies, GPS and cell tower
triangulation, were inadequate - leaving frustrated mobile consumers with slow
and inaccurate positioning information. In response, Skyhook developed a
software-only location system based on Wi-Fi positioning, GPS and cell tower
triangulation.
TASK
To implement a website allowing users to register for Skyhook Javascript API key
and promoting this technology to web-developers/site owners.
SOLUTION
The portal is based on Symfony 1.0 PHP framework and using Propel ORM to
maintain Javascript API registrations. Google maps API is used to display Loki JS
API sample code results. Integration with Loki JS API has been performed in
order to demonstrate the technology on How it works and Findme pages.
