“Easily customizable Web applications for managing and coordinating businesses, teams, and information. LongJump is an online community that provides small and medium-sized businesses with applications that users can subscribe to and tailor to fit their specific business needs. Users across a team can easily collaborate in real-time to better manage business information.”

LongJump is ideal for medium sized businesses that cannot afford an IT department or a web developer. It lets business owners build their own applications that are specially tailored to their needs. It’s much more economical and practical. Plus the sharing factor ensures that LongJump customers always have something to build on.

LongJump is hardly the only member of this quickly developing crowd. It faces stiff competition. How robust and far-reaching are the tools that can be developed by regular folk? Is it actually better to have non-pros developing apps that are going to be used by many? Or should it be left to people who actually know what they are doing?
