Man, I can’t believe that are application took off. I didn’t write the functioning code, but the redesign was created by me. After all the hard work of getting bloggers to check out the site and marketing the site, we just thought that it was a site that wouldn’t really take off. We originally thought that the idea was great and we even Mezzomancreated a Facebook App. We called this Facebook App, Mezzoman Red. Red was going to be the application that put Mezzoman on the web. After all the use of the Facebook Api and PHP work, The app was one that turned out to be cool, but still limited. Marc Z, Who wrote the code for Mezzoman was limited to the API of Google maps. Google is the responsible for the limitation of Mezzoman. Marc has responded to all comment and question, and the most common phrase is, “the site does very little beyond what Google Maps does.” (Peter Robinet) This comment address all the concerns that we have had from the beginning. Mezzoman is a tool for a simple solution to a common problem. The design of the code however is really complicated its designed with two geocoded address points that were constrained with the curvature of the earth. The math involved was to say very complicated. Being that I am a designer and not a computer scientist, looking at the code seemed to be a lot of trig.

Marc’s vision for this project was more then genius, it also took a little luck to get the code to work as well as it does. There are some other project that could be in the works, but today I am a web designer on the side and a desktop publisher in profession. All of the project that we create are created because we see a possible need for them and like to serve are friends as well as the world community. The only other plus is the possible retirement package.
