Scrapblog Headed For the Big Time
Tech Crunch has a great review of the upcoming Scrapblog release, which you can preview here. It even made the Techmeme homepage, which is awesome. You can call me a little bit biased, since Carlos, Alex, and the rest of the scrapblog team are good friends and a fellow Miami startup. Objectively though, Scrapblog provides a few really exciting possibilites going forward:
- So rich it feels like a true desktop app- Scrapblog really feels like a desktop app in every which way from Sunday. From the layout to the fluidity, it really shows that Rich Internet Applications are here to stay. I’m an evangelist for RIAs, and Scrapblog raises the bar for everyone else.
- It answers what’s next- Everyone always asks, so “what’s next?” Video has been done, audio has been done, text has been done,etc. Well, it’s time to take all this media we’ve been creating for the past decade and make it really stand out. The next step starts with online design at Scrapblog.
- Not An Echo Chamber Product- This is a product for real people. It isn’t a twitter kool-aid application that is only for the geekarati. The real success is in mainstream America where no one knows of twitter, michael arrington, Web 2.0,etc.
- It’s Meant To Be Shared- Some media you just upload for your own personal benefit. With scrapblog, I’ll make a fair bet that almost all Scrapblogs will be made with the intent to distribute. Maybe ill upload a youtube video for shits and giggles, but if I make a scrapblog it’s there to share
