This closed system was a necessary phase. The logical conclusion of PaaS is OPaaS “Open Platform as a Service”. See ModBox http://www.sull...tems.com/modbox Now that Coghead is dead, customers should explores OPaaS.

If you want to run your app within the firewall, then you should take a look at novulo.

For these type of apps I would rather use dabbledb, YadaShare, or Trackvia.

EH:
I see what you’re saying… but using the techie language is just another way of pigeonholing yourself.

In the CEOs own words- they’re going after the “50 million businesses that don’t have a server” – presumably, this would include my mom and other small business owners with lots of customer, sales, and inventory data.

Gabe: I’m guessing they’re more VC-focussed than mom-focussed. Gotta keep the terminology insider-generic lest they pigeonhole themselves.

My mom runs a small optometry shop. Something like this would be very useful for her but the home page is quite intimidating, even baffling to non-techies. If they want to sell to non-techies, why would they use “apps” and “applications” throughout their homepage? Horrid copywriting.

@3, they are targeting small businesses that don’t even manage a server. Regardless, that is the same argument people used to say about Salesforce not long ago.

@5, it is subscription based, $49 a pop.

The website service interruption earlier this morning was our bad. The problem was a configuration error on our part. AWS is working like a champ.

I was able to create an account. Coghead upgrade looks like a winner.

Flex? That’s an immediate FAIL! No one writes serious apps in Flex because they feel heavy, require Flash and can’t be run on multitude of devices. Not to mention, it can’t be indexed by search engines.

looks good, it was previously built first using opensource OpenLaszlo – similar to Flex.

Same here – 503 Service Unavailable. Guess that 2.0 rollout didn’t go so well.

Tried opening Coghead – it says >>>>

Been trying to register earlier… went for 1 hour break… came back… and their server is down. Can it be they are not ready for the masses yet?
It’s a nice idea, its just a shame they got the stage, and not proving themselves.
Will be happy to try them out once they fix their platform.

Agree with QS

Information control is important, though it doesn’t get solved with big names like Salesforce or SAP.

A whole ecosystem needs to be there to support the business user and not just expect end-user to plunge into very technical configurations.

Gentle balance to be sought
