I don’t know why I’m so fascinated and charmed by this stuff…
Neat thing built on Laszlo, and links to news of Laszlo funding. Cool stuff.
And then… bam… a comparison to a product from a Croquet company (Qwaq).

That Ghost Webtopp is pretty interesting, and the story behind the company is certainly cool. I, personally, want to hear more about a similar product from Laszlo Systems, the Laszlo Webtop. However, I think Ghost and WebTop, while conceptually similar (and both built using OpenLaszlo) are really aiming at different markets.
