I tried out zembly today (http://www.zembly.com)  which is in beta stage (yep.. did u notice zembly's widget in my blog's sidebar!?). It is an online web based application which enables you to create widgets that can be published for facebook/meebo/iphone etc.. From the site, 


"At zembly, you easily create and host social applications of all
shapes and sizes, targeting the most popular social platforms on the
web. And, you do it along with other people.


Using just your browser and your creativity, and working collaboratively with others, you create and publish Facebook apps, Meebo apps, OpenSocial apps, iPhone apps, Google Gadgets, embeddable widgets, and other social applications"


 I have to say i was really impressed by the beta version. An online javascript/html/css editor, live preview of the widgets you have developed, blogs, user forums.. this site really rocks..You can create your own widgets and services.. Host them in zembly's site and use them in your blogs or in facebook apps (for example). I am using the invitation widget (is that what it is called?) that is hosted in zembly's site.


Of course, the site has been built from the top to bottom using Sun's infrastructure alone! Its been hosted in network.com and developed with stuff like solaris, java, mysql, glassfish..


Take a look at zembly today.. and you will definetely end up saying the site "zembly" rocks!

Hi Venkat!

Thanks for checking us out and writing about zembly!

As for the Sun technologies used, we also all use NetBeans!

BTW - notice the widget does not have the right dimension. You may want to adding width height and border as suggested in the how to doc:
