Scrapblog on your desktop

The team from Scrapblog is hanging out at the Web 2.0 expo this week, and has some exciting news.

Scrapblog, who officially announced their availability on April 2nd, is a way for people to aggregate social media into an online scrapbook. It's a simple drag and drop way to combine photos, videos, audio and text to create really cool multimedia pages, or online scrapbooks. Material can be uploaded and embedded from Flickr, YouTube, Photobucket, Yahoo Photos, and Webshots.

With the Web 2.0 world rapidly shifting towards giving users the ability to access files and applications both online and offline, Scrapblog is going offline, and onto the desktop. They have been working hard to build a version of Scrapblog that runs on Adobe's Apollo platform which shouldn't be hard given the fact that they already employ Flash for their main interface. The release date is expected to be around two months from now, and they will be opening it up for trials with an announcement on their blog at that time.

Check out some samples of what you can do with Scrapblog.
