I wanted to point out here that Bungee Connect is quite different to the other services you compared us to. DabbleDB and Zoho Creator are in the business of providing online database services, Bungee Connect is not. A Bungee dev could use DabbleDB and Zoho Creator as a datastore for Bungee-powered apps (as well MySQL or Postgres today, and others in the future). Some Bungee devs are doing this today. With respect to LongJump, Coghead and WyaWorks - these are services for non-developers who want to build widgets and simple mashups. They do cool stuff, but Bungee Connect is for *developers* who want to build sophisticated web apps connecting to mutiple web servcies (via SOAP, REST, POX) and rich UI (devs also us Bungee to build widgets and simple mashups too - but that's not where they stop). The only thing we all have in common is that we all provide our products are services via the web :-) @Everett, Michael, Jcyreus and Mable3: thanks for your support! @Phil Dewey: I think it's fair to say that anyone who has made a reasonable effort to understand the comparison between Bungee Connect and Yahoo Pipes would disagree with your conclusion. @Tony Chen: see Ted's comment in previous Techcrunch's post about Bungee Labs: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/02/18/bungee-connect-launches-ambitious-new-online-development-product/#comment-2002752 @Alex Halliday: this is a fair point. there are some devs who enjoy spending time, energy and money managing the entire app server stack, including the hardware. There is also a significant number of devs who want to leave the development, management and maintenance of the rest of the stack to somebody else and instead want to spend their own time developing sophisticated web apps. We want to provide the choice to the devs: see the link I provided Tony (above) that provides some view into our thinking here. @Duncan: thank’s for the coverage…lots of new devs signed up this weekend due to this post.

Most people who have the time to create really rich internet apps will want more control over the platform used to create it....we shall see though.

Will go down. Its just too bad that all their devs will have learned an entire new programming framework for naught, which is the reason why it will go down; there really is no need for another one. Use Java or whatever... Totally useless crap. Will go down.

I hope they are able to deliver on the promise. Hey Duncan...If they are on Series C, it seems like they probably already went through Series A & B, which would lead one to believe that they have received more than $8M in funding (wondering if the CrunchBase stats are accurate).
