Nik wrote about Dabble DB on TechCrunch last night. I met the founders and saw a demo of the company last week at the UTR event in Mountain View and was very impressed with their product. Dave Winer liked it too – he said it was one of the more significant demos at that event.
Dabble DB is a service that allows non technical people to set up and use a database, and includes import and export functions to excel. This is a powerful application, and bridges the gap between Excel and Access or FileMaker. I expect this one to get picked up very quickly by a big guy. Microsoft makes the most sense – and since the company is based in Vancouver, Canada, they wouldn’t have to move very far…





Microsoft already has Sharepoint. I doubt they would pick up dbdabble when they have already invested years developing their own platform to do the same thing.
It would really make sense for Intuit to pick this product up and get some of that user-friendly UI into Quickbase.
