Having worked with PeopleSoft for over ten years, I’ve had the pleasure to experience the joy in building enterprise applications with a rapid and productive environment called PeopleTools.  Although PeopleTools is now out-dated in comparison to more modern frameworks, it was (and still is) the most productive development framework I’ve ever worked with (i.e., for building enterprise applications).

My wife just passed an email to me with really good information on cancer. As someone who is affected by cancer, I think this information is something everyone should know about.

I started playing around with IMified a few months ago when it launched, but haven’t used it again until today. When I first used it, I thought that it would be much more useful if they allowed others to develop on top of it. Looks like they did just that by introducing a very simple API for users to create their own services on top.

The best part about their API is it’s super simple and you host the service yourself. You can create a service just for yourself or a public service that can be shared with the rest of the world. It’s all very, very cool.

This (along with Twitter) is a game changer in the IM world (I think). IM can be the new command line for the internet. Here are some ideas of what services can be built on top of IMified (from their site):

• Price checker
• Movie listings
• TV listings
• Budget manager
• Deal Search
• Sports scores
• POP email
• Finance
• Language translator
• Domain search
• WiFi hotspot finder
• Dictionary
