Pinpoint Rising

For those developers looking for ways to reach their customers to tell them about the latest in cloud technologies, www.pinpoint.com looks to be one place to go.

I did a search on “Azure” and found quite a few Windows Azure and SQL Azure applications https://pinpoint.microsoft.com/en-US/SearchResults.aspx?qs=azure&fl=&catid=&fst=1

These Azure apps do not appear to be run-of-the-mill solutions. They look like leading edge cloud applications with the potential to solve some real world problems. These solutions range from scalable virtual deployment services to sophisticated Web site development tools.

What I like about Pinpoint is the ability to review and rate a solution. Customers are able to share their experiences with others and, quite rightly, the very best products get well-deserved attention.

It looks like early days yet for Pinpoint, but I see the potential to help customers and partners make faster decisions based on a great referral mechanism – positive word of mouth.
