Flektor is really cool. It's amazing(and really fun) what you can do with 40 minutes and some images:
'Video game development approach to web app development
Flektor was acquired by Fox Interactive primarily for the great product that they built for personal media sharing. Unlike the more en vogue approach to Web 2.0 development of releasing early (and often times buggy), Flektor took an approach that is more common in the video game development business. Flektor invested time and focus up-front on building a platform (or toolkit) that would enable rapid iteration of the service in the future. '
These are the guys that founded Naughty Dog software afterall. They produced such titles as Crash Bandicoot as well as Jak and Daxter using their own platform called GOAL (Game Oriented Assembly Lisp). There's no real surprise that they could get 20M+ for Flektor in just under a year.
Awesome guys !
