I came here to ask if anyone remembered DabbleDB. When I first saw the demo I thought that thing would change the world.

Isn't that the kind of thing the OP is asking for?



I thought DabbleDB would change the world too :-D

It is not going to happen for several reasons.

One of them is that the company just got acquired by twitter.

I hope they release the code as open source...


I just headed over to DabbleDB's site to check it out and I see that Twitter, of all companies, has acquired it (!) They're no longer accepting new sign-ups. It looked like a totally awesome service. I can't imagine how twitter is going to use this.


The same team also run another analytics app called Trendly. And the team will be joining the analytics team on twitter. So you can see where it's going :)


dabbledb was a great service. I think it was still a little more technical/large dataset feeling though. It's not accepting new signups or accounts now :(. Twitter bought them more for trendly and the team.
