Build Your Own Website By Yourself

Do you feel like Marcelo Calbucci, a one-time Microsoft engineer, who was constantly troubled by his friends and family with requests to build them their websites? Well, in any case, soon you won`t have to suffer anymore, since the same Calbucci came with an excellent idea of software that will allow people to create Web sites themselves without digging through the dirty details of HTML.

The idea is to give "computer dummies" the ability to make their own sites that are more than a simple collection of static Web pages. During the process, individuals will gain better tools to collaborate and communicate online, especially when these services are brought to the office.

As experts say, it will be extremely helpful at the work-place. "Bringing do-it-yourself (Web sites) to the office may be the beginning of a new movement to free up creativity at the individual office worker level. I think we have the perfect storm for some major changes", said John Seely Brown, a consultant and future chief scientist at Xerox. The new service will be available on the market next year.
