Adobe® AIR™ is slowly becoming the next big thing for developers. It is a platform that uses already developed web techniques like Ajax, Flex, and Flash to create desktop applications that work across all operating systems. Many sites like AOL, Finetune, eBay, Nasdaq, Pownce, and Nickelodeon have already taken advantage of this new technology.

I am currently using the Pownce application which allows you to share content and see what others have shared with you without the use of a browser. On top of it being covenant, Adobe® AIR™ allows you to design outside the standard Windows window design. As you can see in my screenshot of the Pownce program to the left.

There are a ton of programs that are being developed for the Adobe® AIR™ platform. Check out the application showcase to see if there are any programs that might interested you. Some popular websites like Twitter, Digg, Google, and Flickr have some great third party designed applications. The main applications I use currently are Pownce, Twitter, and Digg.

I am currently looking for someone to help me develop a ToBeAGeek.com RSS reader. If you have experience working with Adobe® AIR™ and are interested please contact me.
