I suspect you miss my point. I can generate the feeds just fine. I have the raw client data and a handle on the API. But before I start the service (with its web- services backde front end) I would like to have actually fed and maintained data for a number of test domains. GB seems to invite the world to generate feeds so I guess I'll just make a handful of dummy accounts, ask GB to let me aggregate those (with the other hand telling to GB to let me aggregate them) let them go live and price everything out of the ball park! (And scurry like mad if someone buys something :) )
Seems a little contrived but I'm, er, flexible. On Sep 10, 2:25 pm, Tom Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No problem, i'd suggest (personal opinion) to create a small 5 item > data feed.
