I managed to deploy the latest version of Jiibe today, which included (among other things) the new Jiibe Badge. You can now embed your personal or company jiibe on your blog or corporate website. See mine below:

The great thing about it is it’s real-time, so it always reflects your latest jiibe, even if you go back and change some of your answers.

Saw some exciting news today about the possibility of iPhone opening itself up to 3rd party developers for native-run applications. (http://www.news.com/8301-13579_3-9798932-37.html). I think this was innevitable, but I’m really glad its happening so soon. I think for companies like Nitobi this will create a lot of opportunities to create mobile applications for business users – especially when you combine that with the facility for photos and sound recording, geo-tagging, and web.

I’m here in Chicago attending MAX ‘07 with Andre. We were surprised and thrilled today to see the Nitobi Salesforce.com AIR application demo’d by Ed Rowe, VP Engineering for Adobe Integrated Runtime at the keynote on Monday morning! (see photo). We’re really thrilled about AIR, mainly as a tool for increasing the penetration and relevance of SaS applications and also distributed Enterprise Software that we build in our consulting services.

It was also great to see our book (Enterprise Ajax) available at the bookstore next to the AIR bus.

BTW if you are at MAX and want to get together to chat about Ajax, AIR, RIA, or whatever, just ping me at [email protected]. I’ll also be giving a talk with Andre on Tuesday at 1:30 on Ajax development within AIR. Be sure to check it out if you want to learn a bit about that process.
