Identify new opportunities for SE experts to reach many times more users by enlisting the masses to build on your work<\/p>\n<p>Applications come in all sizes and shapes (Amazon.com, widgets, shell scripts, etc.). Widgets are built on platforms (a piece of software that enables applications).<\/p>\n<p>A platform is the fertiliser for ecosystems of applications built upon them. Applications enrich the platforms they run on. Crowdsourcing enrich platforms in ways that the original developers didn&#8217;t imagine.<\/p>\n<p>Zembly.com is a place for collaboratively building services, widgets, social applications, etc. for Facebook or the iPhone platform. Only tool you need to build your applications, is the web browser. Hosting is free!<\/p>\n<p>Zembly is a community, and has &#8220;always live&#8221; development (using open services, widgets and mashups). Its like Wikipedia for code (freely create, edit, publish and find public services, widgets and mashups).<\/p>\n<p>A new paradigm for developing applications. You&#8217;re not edit, compiling and debugging. As soon as you edit your code, its live (you then participate, and use applications).<\/p>\n<p>A demo is now shown&#8230; Same application running on Facebook and an iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Try <a href=\"http:\/\/zembly.com\/\">Zembly<\/a>?
