SUN’s Zembly closing down!

without comments

This is the mail I received:

We regret to inform you that on November 30th, 2009 we will
be suspending the zembly service.

More than three years ago, we started this project with
the goal of making it easy to create next-generation Web
apps. Our original tagline was "Build the web, using the web,"
and the ideas we were incubating around platform-mediated Web
applications, Web API mashups, and social programming were
brand new.

We learned a lot along the way. Your confidence and enthusiasm
helped us improve the project and do amazing things that we
never imagined when we began this journey.

Thank you to everyone who's been with us through the ups
and downs. It's heartening to see that many of the best ideas
pioneered in zembly have started to appear elsewhere. With your
support, we're proud to have contributed to the DNA of the Web.

For more information about the zembly suspension, please refer
to the FAQ section at http://zembly.com

Finally, if you have questions, please contact us at
zembly-support@sun.com

All the best,

-- The zembly team
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
4150 Network Circle
Santa Clara, CA 95054

I liked Zembly when SUN first started it. It was damn easy to create mashups. But unfortunately, like SUN’s other products and services, I knew Zembly was sucking SUN’s money with no business model.
