DEMO: Blist Wants To Simplify Databases

Blist is one of the companies presenting at DEMO this week and they hope to revolutionize the online database space. In the materials sent over, Blist notes: "Using Blist, non-technical users can structure and catalogue all types of information and then create communities around the public data they share. Blist is an optimal solution for creating anything from party or wedding guest lists, fantasy football statistics, and personal finances to professional information such as sales contacts, project milestones, campaign tracking, status reports, and more."

One of the features that's innovative is the ability to take columns of data that are in a date-driven format and turn them into a calendar. The tool also has some interesting advances in cell usage, but outside of that it appears to be somewhat overwhelming for the average user though less overwhelming than say using Microsoft Access.

The social features are the ability to share the databases you create along with helping you reduce redundancy by offering suggestings from the already-collected data. The share feature isn't new, Zoho offers it in their database tool and Google offers this functionality in their Docs applications.

No information on pricing has been provided yet. Founder and CEO has been sharing some of his trials and startup experiences on the Blist blog. They are also currently recruiting for a variety of developer positions.
