I stumbled on this youtube profile while looking at various flood videos. He devised a levee/barrier system to protect and help reclaim eroded areas.

Yes they had them all around the levees around Metairie up to the 17th St. Canal in N.O. a few years ago

Seems like it makes some sense.
I was just curious as to how much success he has had in promoting it.
The webpage puzzles me, it is a jboudreaux.page.tl

I dont think ive ever seen a page.tl page

i dont get it why on earth would you not use a regular dot com name, but one from east timor

The guy is from Houma. My guess is that there was some website designing page or free website that uses that address.

If he organized the info better and updated the page designs and code I would imagine a great deal more exposure to the idea.

he needs to learn how to give a powerpoint, and on that thought, if hes just going to talk over a powerpoint he needs to just record himself over a screencast for better quality

i think it is alot of just doing with what hes got. If someone showed him how to do screencasts he probably would.

well it may have been, but that is an obscure and rare address style if you want it to appear mainstream

The use of an offshore server and/or an offshore domain could have something to do with jurisdiction issues.

And there's always the possibiity there are business opportunities in Asia.

The page.ti domain is registered to a German internet company (InterNetX GmbH).

well...i guess, but the majority of the clips are sort-of infancy of a business idea kind of videos. I wouldnt imagine expanding to Asia before you get started at home.

I posted it cause i think its an interesting idea and it needs some study if its not already being utilized in some places
