I recently posted about Adobe Flex as I head a lot about it and got to play with it briefly during the WebDU conference. I was keen to see some cool apps written in Flex. Whilst they showed us a few things at the conference, I wanted to see more.
A couple of days ago I stumbled across ScrapBlog. What’s scrablog? well you can watch the video which explains it all. Its basically an online equivalent of MySpace or things like that but is focused around photos, videos and blog posts. This is all written and designed in Flex.
The best thing about it is you can start your own scrapblog straight away without having to sign up, which means you have have a play with it within seconds. You can also publish content to your Wordpress blog or to any other site – if you dont want to use their hosting service.
So watch the video and have a play with it – its pretty cool.

What do you think of Flex 2? How do you think it compares to the other technologies you seem to be into?
Yeah it seems pretty cool – I mean I have only just started playing around it with the Eclipse IDE plug in and its cool.
I can see what Adobe is trying to do. Flash, has always been designed for designer Flex fills that gap for developers who want to develop in flash.
The biggest thing Adobe has going for it is Flash – the fact that its installed already on ~98% of all systems accessing the internet is what will make it (and has made it) a success.
The thing that bugs me the most about all the Hype over Adobe Apollo and Flex is this – they are all in Alpha/Beta/ Really really early stages. Personally, I am reluctant to jump on the boat for just that its changing so fast so quickly, and most people dont want to jump onto something that will change within the next 12 months or wont work for the next version, or there is a better way of doing it in the next version.
I think we all saw that with EJB’s, and we are seeing that now with lots of AJAX frameworks dying off slowly because there are so many of them coming out.
