This means that we have been adding an average of about 1.4 applications every day. With such a deluge of options, identifying the most promising applications is becoming quite a challenge, and we need a better way for vendors to pitch their wares. Here comes vator.tv, an online pitching service recently created by a friend of mine. Vator.tv lets you upload your video pitch for an idea — any idea — and join competitions that receive the participation of industry analysts, press people, and venture capitalists. In a nutshell, it’s YouTube for pitches. [Continue…] [...] […] The Office 2.0 Database was created in March of last year, and references over 650 applications today.

I hope that such a feature will be added in the future, and in the meantime I created a simple Office 2.0 Directory Entry form with Wufoo that will allow anyone to submit new applications to the database. Awesome!" Nenest does exactly this. “At this point, I can only think of one thing that is really missing: the ability to publish a form that would allow any user to create new entries, without having access to any other data, much like jotForm and Wufoo do it.

The concept introduced exactly a year ago got its first conference, with over 450 participants, 105 speakers, and 56 sponsors.

Google’s release of Google Docs on the first day of the Office 2.0 Conference also gave a clear signal that things are getting serious now, and that past involvements with OpenOffice.org were just smoke and mirrors. Next year, it will be interesting to see wether Microsoft finally releases something of substance under the Office Live brand, and who gets their hands on ThinkFree.

I see that Quickbase is listed in the database you created, so the obvious question is how did you like it compared to Quickbase? I can see from the screenshots that the UI appears to be much better, but how about otherwise? Thanks Ismael, Dabble looks very, very exciting.

I will look into the problem you're describing, in the meantime, all you have to do is copy and paste the <a href="http://itredux.com/blog/2006/03/28/office-20-directory/trackback/" rel="nofollow">trackback URL</a>, which is the same as the one used for the 'Trackback this post' link. Patrick,

Thanks in particular for taking the time to publish your Office 2.0 Directory. I tried to trackback, but FYI, the "Trackback to this post" link does not work -- it generates an error.
