Inkubook’s Helping Light up the Web

Silverlight Showcase Ratings Page

Inkubook is built with a cool new tool from Microsoft Corporation called Silverlight. In Microsoft’s own words, Silverlight is

“…a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.”

That sounds a little boring, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not just for computer geeks. Silverlight helps everybody (you, me, and even technically challenged people like my mom) have a great experience on the Web. In fact, you might have heard about it during the Olympics because Silverlight was used to manage the streaming video coverage of the games. If you watched any of Michael Phelps’s record-breaking swim action on the NBC site, you were very likely using Silverlight and you might not even have known it. Aside from the initial request you’ll get to download it to your computer–which is much like the requests you receive the first time you use any sort of plug-in–you’ll never even know Silverlight is working behind the scenes.

Right now, Inkubook is being featured in the Silverlight showcase. We’re even getting top billing, which has us pleased as punch. Silverlight encourages people to check out the websites that use the technology, and individuals can give ratings to the sites in the showcase. We’d certainly appreciate it if you’d pay the Showcase a visit and give us a good rating. It’ll send us into the weekend with a smile.
