Now, now, Jeff. I mentioned in the article that I typically prefer native apps or Web apps to AIR apps, but this one is very interesting, at least to me. I dig it.

ah! and I was wondering why my twitter vanity search hit on that topic as I do not like the air apps. but grouping actually would be a reason to try it out. problem: as long as twitter decimates the request rates it is unreliable, but a first step in the right direction. will download it now ;)

Louis, I think you're right - there is still innovation happening around Twitter, fortunately. The fact is there is still a huge audience on Twitter and that audience still has the potential to be monetized. I'm even building something around Twitter at the moment. There is still that threat though, that developers could leave if Twitter keeps neglecting them - it's in the back of the mind

"feels" like Twhirl. Wish it had FF support...if it does it wasn't obvious from the website. I agree with others that I'd really like to see these Adobe air apps with some better skins

"Now, now, Jeff. I mentioned in the article that I typically prefer native apps or Web apps to AIR apps, but this one is very interesting, at least to me." - That's part of why I like the platform so much. Most people like native apps but AIR apps are pretty easy to build so there's bound to be a few that people really like. (Ryan - rstewart@adobe.com)

From the page: "He makes a good point. Even if he had registered a copyright on the images (the only way to get statutory damages, as opposed to actual damages), the company that was using his images probably did not have enough assets for him to recover whatever judgment he could win. And even if the company had money, that would all be sunk into lawyers before Wil saw a dime. So, whatâÂs an independent developer to do? So IâÂm going to call them thieves publicly and embarrass them. Skip the lawyers, letâÂs go back to shaming people!"

From the page: "We've taken the list and narrowed it down to what you really care about, Los Angeles. Now why would you want to follow a restaurant on Twitter you might ask? Because they often tweet about special menu items and offer exclusive deals or free food and booze, hooray!"

"Twitter success is based on the simplicity of the service. However, the website, as well as various standalone Twitter clients are becoming more and more cluttered with useless features and other junk. Therefore, I stripped it to the basics and now it's the first twitter client I am happy with."

From the page: "To a 19-year-old assigned to clean toilets, which is almost by definition the worst possible job in the world, the sight of this high-ranking, 38-year-old, manicured, pampered disciplinary officer cleaning a toilet was a shock. And it completely reset my attitude. If he can clean a toilet, I can clean a toilet, I thought. There's nothing wrong with cleaning toilets. My loyalty and inspiration from that moment on were unflagging. Now that's leadership."

"We all have fears, worries, anxieties, and memories from our past that still haunt us. They are like books stored in a library on the back shelf of our mind. Just like a library our thoughts, and fears are stored in separate sections and we access the books in each of the sections everyday to help us deal with new experiences in our life."

Lot of good points in there. From the page: "Keeping up is about following someone else's agenda: the bloggers and tweeters who trot out invitations to the latest beta. The marketers, publicists and journalists who blanket us with coverage about the latest hot tech phenomenon. And yes, the tech consultants who charge tens or hundreds of thousands to add new musts to your already long to-do list. The minute you stop trying to keep up, you open a far more exciting possibility: getting ahead with what matters to you, your team and your business. "

From the page: "If you are a Disneyland fanatic such as myself, then you are going to absolutely love recent film footage that has been released of DisneylandâÂs construction in 1954-55. This never-before-seen footage was sitting on a shelf all these years and only saved by a curious employee. Using time-lapse and traditional eye-in-the-sky photography, this is a dazzling piece of history, presenting how the fearless construction crews had Disneyland up and running in just under a year."

joemartinez: Flew over this on my flight from London back to Atlanta. I couldn’t hear the pilot very well. It was either Switzerland or somewhere over Germany. Either way, it looks beautiful and I want to go there next. Does anyone know where this is? It looks like Lac Lucerne in Switzerland. Great Place. Let me know when you’re over :) Also, it... - http://www.pheelmore.com/post...
