Central 1.5's Greatest Hits

This blog has been silent for a while since I've been working at Macromedia on the Central 1.5 and AOL Instant Messaging SDK projects. The schedule was tight, and of course I couldn't blog about any of the cool new features until after the release.

Now that 1.5 is out there I'll start with my list of favorite new features, which I'm calling Central 1.5's Greatest Hits:

AOL Messaging Apps

It's been a while since my last post, but for good reason. I took a position with Macromedia a few weeks ago to help develop example apps and documentation for the new AOL Messaging SDK for Central.

It's a Bloggin' Nation

I'm posting this from within Central using Bloggin' Nation, a new app by Cesar and Javier Tardaguila. If you're reading this, their app works!

Central Runtime Licensing for Business

Here's a quick follow-on to yesterday's post about Central capacity licenses. I suggest a blanket Central Runtime License for businesses instead of per-App licensing.

A company could pay $2000 per 100 (or whatever) to run any and all biz apps on the Central infrastructure internally. Each app could then be distributed internally for free by internal developers, or purchased from external developers on a standard try/buy license.
