The Anti-MySpace
The Anti-MySpace: That's a line from Ben Bauermeister, Adobe Entrepreneur in Residence, in this "JamJar Conceptual Review" [PDF, 50K]. Made in Flex 2, runs on Flash Player 9, with Adobe-hosted Flex Data Services for persistence, push, synch. "After 28 months of thought, discussion, development, migration, and reconsideration, what then is JamJar? This became simple and clear in a conversation with John Warnock earlier this year. JamJar is not about the pods and the menus. It is not about the widgets and the sounds, although all of these things are necessary. JamJar is about filling the simple need for 'shared paper' on the Internet. It is about providing a forum for exchange that is intentionally without form. Anyone who needs one can simply go and tear off another sheet for them self. This includes the mom whose kitchen whiteboard is just not big enough to share travel info and party plans with a sister 2 states away, as well as the financial consultant who just needs to post 2 files and get a client response while keeping an interactive record of what has been posted and when." Other links: the service itself; Labs forums and FAQ; commentary on MXNA, Google Blogsearch, Technorati. If you know of someone who could use this service then please pass the word... even if you can't use it yourself it's a good example of what you can do with this year's technology.
