Developers write their code in Kynetx&#8217;s own rule-based language and the service builds the actual extensions. Originally, Kynetx only supported Firefox and Internet Explorer, but a <a href=\"http:\/\/staynalive.com\/articles\/2009\/12\/20\/kynetx-launches-chrome-extension-support-for-their-platform\/\">few days ago<\/a>, the company also <a href=\"http:\/\/code.kynetx.com\/2009\/12\/18\/deploy-kynetx-applications-as-chrome-browser-extensions\/\">announced<\/a> support for Google Chrome. Thanks to this, developers can now use Kynetx&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/appbuilder.kynetx.com\/apps\">AppBuilder<\/a> tool to build and deploy custom extensions for the three top browsers that offer a built-in plugin architecture.<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><em>Sponsor<\/em><br \/><a href='http:\/\/d.ads.readwriteweb.com\/ck.php?n=a6d5ead9&amp;cb=17511' ><img src='http:\/\/d.ads.readwriteweb.com\/avw.php?zoneid=14&amp;cb=17511&amp;n=a6d5ead9' border='0' alt='' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For now, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.readwriteweb.com\/archives\/google_chrome_extensions_mac.php\">of course<\/a>, only the Windows version of Chrome supports extensions, but extension support for the OSX and Linux version is scheduled to arrive soon. <\/p>\n<p>Kynetx is a universal browser extension that has a few similarities to <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/firefox\/addon\/748\">Greasemonkey<\/a>. The programming language for the extension is the Kynetx Rule Language (KRL) and the company offers an online editor for writing apps on top of Kynetx. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"krl_example.jpg\" align=\"right\" src=\"http:\/\/www.readwriteweb.com\/images\/krl_example.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\"  \/>We should note that Kynetx doesn&#8217;t allow users to build every type of extension. The system is best suited for building plugins that add additional information to a website. Kynetx&#8217;s extensions use <a href=\"http:\/\/informationcard.net\/resources\/action-cards\">Action Cards<\/a> to augment these sites. One example for such a plugin is <a href=\"http:\/\/informationcard.net\/card-projects\/aaa-discount-reminders\">this app<\/a> that reminds users when a company offers a discount through the U.S. automobile services group, AAA. <\/p>\n<p>For some more details about the company, have a look at this <a href=http:\/\/code.kynetx.com\/2009\/12\/15\/phil-windley-steve-fulling-interviewed-by-robert-scoble\/%22>video interview<\/a> Robert Scoble did with the company&#8217;s founder and CTO.
