It looks like Nick Gonzalez over at Tech Crunch got a sneak peek at Scrapblog before it launches. Carlos Garcia pinged me about getting into Scrapblog when it’s ready, so I’ll have a more detailed writeup later this week or early next week on The Universal Desktop but I did think it was a good time to mention the surge in good looking, innovative Flex apps recently.
We’ve seen Fauxto and Picnik for photo editing and now Scrapblog should come online soon. I’m hoping to see the application from Virtual Ubiquity soon to round out a great suite of Flex apps. (By the way guys, that alpha tester link? If I have to kill someone to get a login, just send me a name 
) Sho mentioned in his post on Picnik that HTML took a long time to start to look nice and we’re seeing it with Flex after less than a year. At Threecast, the web startup I joined, we’re taking the same approach that these other sites are and it really shows. A heavy design emphasis has allowed us to get away from the cookie-cutter Flex look and really differentiate the application. I hope we see Flex continue to grow at the pace it has.
