Charlie: the Facebook Accelerator we built works with PHP, Rails, and Python. We are fine tuning one for Java and should have that ready shortly.

Our standard Accelerator works with them all - without fail.

Nicholas: we invested a lot of time and energy into this program. I would like the opportunity to prove you wrong. Sometimes you do get more than what you pay for.
