TheKBase Desktop Gets Password Protection

TheKBase Desktop 2.1.2 is almost out. Amongst the most interesting features is the possibility to add password encryption using known-cryptographic algorithms and adhering strictly to the XML-ENC standards (http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/).  TheKBase Mobile will also have the encryption functionality.

TheKBase Multi-user Prototype

TheKBase Multi-user prototyping continues. Now we are hosting a stable version using the following technology stack (from back to front): MySql and Sql 2000 databases, ASP.NET (hosting administration console and Web Services server), and .NET 2.0 client.

The .NET 2.0 client is very non-Web 2.0, and the second half of 2006 will be dedicated to replacing it with some kind of Flash or AJAX front-end.

For the time being, work will continue on the back end: users will be able to create their own Kbases and users on the back end, and use TheKBase client to access them.

Confusionists, Inc. Launches New Blog

Daniel Rosenstark, CEO of Confusionists, Inc., announced its new Blog today (to be hosted at Blog-City).  "This represents a new age in blogging," said the CEO of this well known Internet Juggernaut.  "People have been expecting us to innovate, and they're going to see that we've been busy and that we are 'getting busy.'"

Confusionists, Inc. is currently based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, relocated from Madrid, Spain, where it had been since 2001. When asked about the geographical change, Rosenstark responded simply, "Europe is so old and cold and settled in its ways."

Market analysts have commented in the past that Confusionists, Inc. is one of the most looked-at companies on the Web today, mostly because of its deep relevance to Web 2.0.  As market analyst Joel Krieger noted, "It's obviously not Google, but Confusion Consultants [now Confusionists] does have a large audience of trend-setters and people who need to be in the know."

Confusionists is best known for TheKBase, a freeware information manipulation product.
