zembly
I can finally lift the veil off the product that I have been
working on with an exceptionally talented team for over a year. zembly
launched today for private Beta (this means that you need an
invitation to join the Beta). You can provide your email address in the
widget at the bottom of this post and receive an invitation key. Hurry,
we have a limited set of invitations that we are giving out in the
first round.
zembly is the
world's first collaborative environment specifically designed for
creating social applications. The paradigm shift / leap forward that I
mentioned in my previous
post is realized with zembly.
zembly allows users to
collaboratively
build, publish, and host Facebook apps, OpenSocial apps, Meebo apps,
iPhone applications, widgets, Google gadgets, and other social
applications on the Web, all from the convenience of a browser. Thus,
nontechnical users can compose mashups and other social and
situational applications out of widgets and RESTful-style web
services, all built by using lightweight technologies and composed
right from the browser.
Instead of the
edit-compile-debug-deploy cycle that has been used for the last 40+
years for application development, with zembly the new paradigm is
edit-publish-use. There is no
develop-deploy cycle to speak of, because the code is live, in the
same way that wiki content is live and can be immediately edited by
merely clicking an “edit” link. If there is a bug
in your
application, simply click the button
and
the updated code is immediately live.
In other words, zembly
makes it
possible for people building social applications to employ the same
behavior they are using today to edit blogs and wikis.
zembly also makes it possible
for people to
quickly and easily connect with other developers, participate in an
ecosystem of reusable services and code, and create powerful
applications without the headache of having to make the underlying
furnishings work. That is, the application will transparently deploy
and scale across a highly available and scalable infrastructure.
Once you get an account, I would encourage you take the product
tour. This will help get you familarized before you
start building viral Social Applications with zembly.

There was a bug in the widget. The beauty of the widget "being in the cloud" is that I did not have to make any changes to the blog entry. It just works.
