Flypaper - THE New Way to Tell a Story
The fine folks at Flypaper Studio, Inc. (right here in Phoenix) have released beta 2 of their Flypaper application. This program is a storytellers dream in that the tools for developing a story are straightforward and the environment is designed to envelop you in a security blanket called the flybray. As awkward as it sounds it actually is a compelling Web 2.0 idea to publish content and make it reusable (think templates). Rich media in a way is only the start. The timeline concept is well implemented and the choices for content mixing are improving rapidly.
I also like the idea that us design-challenged folks can readily engage with "real" designers who specialize in exploiting flypaper for telling a compelling story. I will post more details on some of the very interesting ways flypaper exploits the Microsoft platform (after I get permission!) and spend more time with Kieran Richardson and the rest of the team.
For now, head over to flypaper.com and download the program. It's free in the basic version and the Pro version looks more than worth the wait...
