Intuit ratchets up the stakes with a VAR partner strategy for developers. But Intuit has NOT done a good job in the online database game - their Quickbase product is pretty sucky, the last time I looked at it.
They acquired PayTrust last year as well, and have similarly not done a very good job in bringing that online application into the modern era.
Quoted: Intuit wants in on the race to become the platform for enterprise apps in the cloud. It is opening up QuickBase to developers ...

remember the milk is a cool online task list service. But it seems to me that their user interface has many design flaws.
Editing items requires that you know to click on icons in the right-hand sidebar.
Very confusing navigation structure. They have one TOP-LEVEL navigation in the upper right corner, and second set of tabs in the main column, and sometimes a thirds set of tabs in the right column. It makes it very difficult to find the commands that apply to the currently selected object.
Try, for example, to figure out how to "share a list" - I couldn't remember how to do this even after I had done it once already.
Despite these flaws - it's still a powerful tool, with some cool sharing features that make it a pretty good solution to light-weight task list sharing.

Microsofts answer to Amazon Web Services - a very rich offering based on SQL Server as a hosted service. In free Beta right now - so not sure how the pricing vs. S3 or (eventual) Google Big Table will work out.

This would be really exciting. Amazon has a big lead with their forward-thinking jump into the web services business. But Google has a much better reputation for building high performance scalable architecture. I hope this rumor is true.
Quoted: Google may be releasing BigTable, its internal database system, as a web service to compete with Amazon SimpleDB, according to a source with ...

Adobe's new online photo editing application. It's very slick, using Flash (Flex) as the client-side platform. If is fast and feels like a desktop application.
