Scoble’s “Higher Definition Web”
Robert Scoble writes:
I’m still making the tour of Silicon Valley to see ideas of what the Web of the future might look like. I’m talking with Co-founder and CTO of Laszlo, David Temkin, and Senior Product Marketing Manager, Lyndon Wong of Laszlo.
They are showing me their vision of the Web. We’re talking about Flash. They are showing me their new Laszlomail. They are selling that to ISPs. Now, that alone might look interesting, but what’s real interesting is the development framework that they are building. I’ve written about their story before.
But their story is getting much better built out. Today you write Web applications using the Laszlo system in OpenLaszlo. Here’s a tutorial. Today it compiles that app into a SWF (Flash movie) but tomorrow? They are working on AJAX and .NET versions.
So, don’t look at LaszloMail as an email client. Look at it as a new kind of Web application. I call it the higher definition Web. Coming soon to a browser near you.
