Announcing our new startup — Phile
For those people who have been following me since the days when I used to keep this blog up to date… I thought you might want to know that I’ve started a new startup called Phile, which launched a public beta earlier today.
There are lots of ways to think about Phile, but in many ways, it’s a synthesis of everything I learned in working on Dreamweaver, Contribute, Flex, and other products during my tenure at Adobe and Macromedia.
Phile is a service that lets anyone create a website to gather information about any topic in a social and structured way. It’s kind of like a Yelp-builder for any topic. You get to customize the site using a tooling interface that makes it feel kind of like FileMaker or HyperCard.
The best way to explain what it is is to show you a screencast:

There is also an article that you can find here:
Phile has been a labor of love for me and Mike for over a year. I’d love for you to try it out and tell me what you think. And if you think it’s interesting, I’d love to have you help me spread the word.
Thanks!

Is this like http://www.squidoo.com? If so, prepare to be bombarded by Affiliate Marketers :)
Well, kind of.
Squidoo is a place where people can create individual pages and then use them to try to drive revenue (via ads or affiliate marketing).
We are kind of a two tier version of that. People use Phile to create groups to talk about a topic (e.g., kitchen equipment) and then people can add pages, comment, rate things, etc.
So yes, it could be used for affiliate marketing. But we’re hoping to shoot for a more interesting community dynamic than the lone wolf pages that HubPages or Squidoo generate.
Looks beautiful, Sho. No surprise there :) Congratulations!
Thanks ely!
