Is there a person who isn't amazed by how technology just keeps making things simple and complicated at the same time? Well, you might say that it all depends on the person although basically technology, like in the case of websites and all web-related stuff should first and foremost be user-friendly. Right? But unfortunately, in most cases, it takes some geekiness to work things out but it isn't just in the domain of users. You might be surprised that geekiness also has levels and even tech persons or developers wrestle with a lot of things like deployment tools and configuration. Duh.
You may want to read about what Jim James was able to discover and leverage as a platform for his wonderful idea. His MyTripScrapbook (built ruby on rails, if you care) allows travelers to easily share their experiences with families and friends. It is not text-fancy but photo-fancy - just what a scrapbook should look like. Discover for yourself by signing up because it's free.
So, in case you have an idea for a web application or a site like Jim's, you may want to find out about Morph Appspace first and find out what real managed hosting solutions for Web 2.0 should be like.
Quick shout: LA Web Application Developers Meetup happens Aug 5 at Rubicon Project. Details here.
