Flypaper Connect - Show Live Data with No Coding
Flypaper creation tools (DS and Pro versions) already support live data display via RSS feeds and web services. Previous and current versions of Flypaper still let you create digital signage content that displays news, sport scores, live weather feeds with no coding required but with Flypaper Connect we go even further.
Flypaper Connect, lets you display content stored in Google worksheets, CSV files, and other live data sources. I have seen this product in action and I can honestly say it's the easiest way to display live data in a Flash SWF file with no coding required.
Content development shops already using Flypaper will be thrilled with the enhanced functionality. Small corporate teams who don't have access to technical staff will also benefit from this product.
The Flypaper Connect components help you create dynamic menu boards very quickly and your customers can update the content in real time simply by editing a Google worksheet. You can use this technique to display sales figures, call center response times, share prices or any other useful data from a wide variety of sources.
The list of Flypaper Connect components will grow over time. For example, there are plans to add Google Calendar, PHP and .Net connect components in the near future.
Flypaper connect is billed annually and pricing will be set according to the number of connections that you require (0-50, 51-250 or unlimited). An example of a connection being one Flypaper app connecting to one page of a Google worksheet in a user's Google Docs account. Consulting, custom programming in PHP or .Net and training will all be extra.
Flypaper Marketplace - Buy and Sell Content
The other piece of news concerns the new Flypaper Marketplace. This new website lets Flypaper and Flypaper Express users share templates, components, media and entire projects in one location. Flypaper version 3.7 and Flypaper Express users can access this service directly from within the application by selecting the Flypaper Marketplace from the toolbar menu. You can also visit Marketplace.Flypaper.com directly from your web browser.
Use the site for inspiration, share your creations for free or you can also sell your creative content for a fee.
I think this site has great potential and hope to see it become populated with good content as word spreads around the Flypaper user community.
These new features help make an already good product even better. Now more than ever, Flypaper will appeal to the casual user and to professional content developers. There is something here for everyone.
For pricing and other information, I suggest you contact your local Flypaper reseller or visit the Flypaper website.
