zembly - First Collaborative Environment Designed for Social App Creation
Build, Publish, Host a Variety of Social Apps Using a Browser

zembly is the world's first collaborative environment specifically designed for creating social applications.

Through the use of just a browser, zembly allows Facebook apps, OpenSocial apps, Meebo apps, iPhone applications, widgets, Google gadgets and other social Web applications to be collaboratively built and published.

"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," writes Sun’s Prakash Narayan, who is a member of the team working on this project.

According to its Web site, zembly allows for the easy and instantaneous authoring of social applications using your browser; participation and collaboration with others around live, editable code; use of popular web APIs to create your applications; and publication of social applications to multiple social platforms with a single click.

zembly was launched June 6 for private beta, which means an invitation is required to join. Visit Narayan\'s blog to request an invitation and get started. [...read more...]
