Scrapblog was featured on TechCrunch yesterday. They went offline for a while, but are back. The application is Flex based, and allows anyone to create really cool scrapbooks with their existing photos.

As with all web based applications, users must upload photos to the server, and then have those photos downloaded to the application. Apollo would allow users to access their local photos directly, which would be a huge boost to the application, especially as photo sizes become larger. And that's just what they did: they ported their existing Flex application to an Apollo application.

Ryan Stewart has some more information on this Apollo application, with a reference to Tara Hunt's blog, where she discusses how easily and quickly they were able to do it.

You can stay up to date with Scrapblog via their developer blog.
