Blist Be Your Name

Yes, it does sound like a prayer, and a granted one at that! Blist is a blessing for those who need a hip way to manage simple lists and databases. This might be a hit for the masses who's not inclined to APIs and code. Blist is for those who just need a simple friendly way to store and share lists. The user-interface of Blist is also very appealing, which would definitely make it a mainstream hit.
Blist might seem like a competitor to Zoho DB/Creator, but I think each of them caters to different types of 'list' audiences. Developers and users with more database needs might find Zoho's suite fit for their advanced purposes. But the utter simplicity of Blist, the rich interface, and the social dimension will serve the casual database needs of the masses.

With Zoho Creator, you can easily drag-and-drop to create simple web apps, lists. So is the case with Zoho DB. Knowledge of scripting (Zoho Creator's Deluge), SQL (Zoho DB) are optional and not a pre-requisite.

We have lots of end users using Zoho Creator/DB to build their web forms & online DBs.

The link to "Blist" doesn't seem to be working. Can't find it by googling either
