Cogheads Unite!

A recent Tungsten client just launched yesterday... Coghead. And it's got some heavy hitters behind it... venture capital, silicon valley pros, and some web 2.0 type applications. From my undestanding of the product, it will enable the average IT worker bee to do some nifty programming without a lot of programming knowledge/skills. And since it's web based, the designer of the program can get others to virtually collaborate. With this structure, programs can be designed quickly and intutively, and then simply launched without a lot of hand wringing.

The name Coghead provides a sense of the working man or woman as the "cog", mixed with the dedication and fanaticism of the word "Head" (i.e. Dead Head, Parrot Head, Ditto Head) Cogheads will be fanatical devotees precisely because the program will empower them to think, design and move quickly to market with new ideas. And because of its platform, other programs will easily match and integrate together if so desired.

The program should be out next month, but there's an email list to join for those wanting to beta test it. So become a Coghead early on so you can say you where there when it all began! Heck, Paul McNamara might even see his way to sending the first Cogheads a bumper sticker or mouse pad. You can check out more on him at Charter Street.

Enjoy and keep on Coggin'
