Clintburn asked a few questions (the questions and my answers are below) and Mike answered a few questions. But there&#8217;s no new information. The central SDK is on schedule and will be released this week. I missed the chat, but the first blog\/site on Central, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centralmx.com\">CentralMX.com<\/a> by David Bisset posted the log of the session. Below are the questions and my late answers. <\/p>\n<p><b>How would you explain Central to your Mom in 3 words?<\/b><br \/>\nPersonal application browser. <br \/>\nTo my mom: You can tell it to do stuff rather than the other way round. <br \/>\nMay be ad campaign with &#8220;Regain control with central&#8221;? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><b>How would you give a short explanation to developers?<\/b><br \/>\nApplication environment with clientside data control  <\/p>\n<p><b>What is the Killer app for central?<\/b><br \/>\nAny app that automates user action. Personal agents in various fields.<\/p>\n<p><b>What problems does it solve for you as a developer?<\/b><br \/>\nI don&#8217;t have to worry about business logic which is taken care of at the server, collecting money and developer tools are taken care of by macromedia. The client gets access to different polished data streams. So, I only have to worry about the presenting it to the user and providing a good experience. Better controll than in HTML, no headaches of client side application installation. Once downloaded, the app stays infront of the user.<\/p>\n<p><b>What end user problems does it solve?<\/b><br \/>\nCan setup rules to automate routine stuff and inform only when needed. Can interact with downloaded data. No security problems.<\/p>\n<p><b>What do you think of Blasting?<\/b><br \/>\nIntelligent copy\/paste. Developers just take-in and output standards based data and the user will be able to connect apps intelligently. <\/p>\n<p>Feel free to give your answers to the questions <a href=\"http:\/\/www.markme.com\/mesh\/archives\/003517.cfm\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Chambers and &#8216;clinburn&#8217; hosted a feedback session to see how the developers feel about central.
