What is Parkey? I think you know by now that it an venture started by Co-Creator of Firefox, Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt to make life easier for average Joe! There is little to be known about the Company and the project! I just got this IEEE publication link from CrunchBase.
As I was writing this blurb, (That is all I do!) I came across another article wondering if Parakey+Facebook is a challenge to Adobe Air. I thought the article was a good one until I came up to the point "That makes it sound like a fairly limited application that you could build on top of Adobe AIR." That put a sour taste in my mouth!. And I am sure the author has not seen Parakey! other than a simple description of it. evangelize Adobe in another way!
Anyway the rest of the article is a fairly good sum up of the recent events surrounding FaceBook acquisition of Parakey and FaceBook's interest in Rich Internet Applications.

"Limited" was probably a bad choice of worlds. I just meant hat Parakey seemed more focused on media files than general filesystem access.
ReplyDeleteBut you're right, I haven't seen Parakey. Has anyone? I got the impression that it was still very private beta.
Thanks for the feedback.
