It's more a matter of learning how you can use them in various ways, and also of really getting into the habit of thinking with deferreds. I've been using them for about 7 years (mainly in Python) and I'm still finding intere

Hi Jayzee I agree, our website is very poor. We're planning to improve it over the next week. There are quite a few hands-on programming examples and videos on our blog, at http://blogs.fluidinfo.com/ that might be helpful. For example,

Hi. I don't really know the best way to do this, though I have thought about it over the years. I think things like Google Gears will be a big help with this sort of thing. But it should also be possible to write smart client-side libraries

I'd be happy to answer questions about Tickery. The point of it is not what it appears to be from just looking at the web app. Read the Huh? dialog on the advanced tab, and also see the text on the About tab. It's not really about sets of T

Hi Jeremy The information model takes some time to sink in - at least for most people (including me). Examples will help people to "get" it better. We have one coming out soon (next couple of weeks). I can give you an early look if you're i

I guess I'll get the ball rolling. We're building (and close to releasing) an app that's focused on Twitter users. It has FluidDB objects that each correspond to a Twitter user. Because the FluidDB objects aren't owned, other apps can put t

Yes, that's right. The control is centralized, but the storage and the computation are fully distributed. We spent a long time working on what we think will be a scalable architecture. The query language is deliberately simple to make every

Hi Peter - you're right, it could have been a lot better. The link on the right (Docs: fluidDB) is probably the best place for you to start http://doc.fluidinfo.com/fluidDB/ Terry

Hi Paul I'm surprised you didn't tie this in to due diligence checks done by VCs, and its impact on startups, etc. The parallels are strong, and you've commented on that impact before (at FOWA in 2007, I think). Regards, Terry Jones

Another telling sign: in the late 90s when trying to raise money for a startup you had to have an answer to the M question. These days you need an answer to the G question. No-one asks the M any more, it's just not relevant.
