      <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/AIR/air_logo.jpg">Last month we showed you some of the more popular and useful Adobe AIR applications (see &quot;<a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/some_adobe_air_apps_worth_a_look.php">6 Adobe AIR Apps to Check Out</a>&quot;), but there are so many great Adobe AIR applications currently available, it would be a shame to stop at just those six. As we delved through he Adobe AIR directory, what became apparent to us is that there are a lot of AIR applications that will appeal to our fellow bloggers. So many, in fact, that it was worth putting together a list of our favorites. Here are the top ten AIR app that bloggers will love:</p>]]>
      <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/AIR/tumbleweed.jpg" align="left"><u><strong>Tumbleweed</strong></u>: The <a href="http://tumbl-weed.tumblr.com/">Tumbleweed</a> AIR application is a desktop application for posting to your Tumblr blog. With this app, you can quickly post text, photos, videos, links, audio, and chats from your desktop to your Tumblr blog, without ever having to open a web browser.</p>
<br><br><br><br>

<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/AIR/flickr_flipper.png" align="left"><u><strong>Flickr Flipper</strong></u>: Looking for an image to go with your post? The <a href="http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&amp;extid=1425518">Flickr Flipper</a> app lets you browse through Flickr for photos. You can also search for photos from a specific user by typing username: followed by a Flickr user's username.</p>
<br><br><br><br>

<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/AIR/digg_rss_reader.png" align="left"><u><strong>Digg RSS Reader</strong></u>: Did your post just hit front page? You'll know right away with the <a href="http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&amp;loc=en_us&amp;extid=1449520">Digg RSS Reader</a>. You can keep tabs on all the top stories, or filter them by choosing to view only the News, Videos, or Images. Clicking the links will open the Digg story in your web browser so you can vote for your favorites.</p>
<br><br><br><br>

<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/AIR/fotobooth.jpg" align="left"><u><strong>FotoBooth</strong></u>: Ustreamers will like <a href="http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&amp;loc=en_us&amp;extid=1374021">FotoBooth</a>, an AIR app that lets you use your computer's webcam to snap pictures of yourself, add filters or distort them, and then upload them to Flickr with just one click.</p>
<br><br><br><br><br>

<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/AIR/webkut.png" align="left"><u><strong>Websnapshot and WebKut</strong></u>: Let's call it two for the price of one: <a href="http://myspyder.net/tools/websnapshot/">Websnapshot</a> lets you quickly take snapshots of a web site by entering in the URL or dragging-and-dropping it from your browser to the app. You can specify whether you want a thumbnail, a browser-sized pic, or a full page snapshot. An auto-save feature lets you save the pictures to the location of your choosing. <a href="http://toki-woki.net/p/WebKut/">Webkut</a> goes a step further - you can enter the URL or you can Google for it right within the AIR application, a nice time-saving feature.</p>
<br>

<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/AIR/Color-Browser.png" align="left"><u><strong>Color Browser</strong></u>: Get inspired to re-design your blog! With the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/colorbrowser/">Color Browser</a> app, you can create and organize your favorite color palettes. If you're a blog designer, this is a must-have app.</p>
<br><br><br><br>

<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/AIR/joomedit.png" align="left"><u><strong>Joomedit</strong></u>: Are you using the open source content management system from <a href="http://www.joomla.org/">Joomla</a>? Then you need <a href="http://www.joomlaonair.com/index.php/joomedit">Joomedit</a>, a desktop editor that lets you edit, upload, and publish to your Joomla CMS. </p>
<br><br><br><br>

<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/AIR/shifd.png" align="left"><u><strong>SHIFD</strong></u>: Doing research? The <a href="http://www.shifd.com/tools">SHIFD desktop app</a> lets you save notes, places, and links from the web into the SHIFD AIR application. This content is then available on any device with internet access - whether your desktop, laptop, or mobile phone.</p>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/AIR/apprise.png" align="left"><u><strong>Apprise</strong></u>: The <a href="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/air/sample_apps/Apprise.air">Apprise application</a> is a sample AIR app, which means you can <a href="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/air/sample_apps/Apprise.zip">download the source code</a> too. Apprise is an online/offline RSS reader which features importing and exporting of feeds, search, and support for RSS and ATOM.</p>
<br><br><br>

<p>We would add <a href="http://www.aboutnico.be/index.php/google-analytics-air-beta-sign-up/">Google Analytics</a> to this list, but it was covered in <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/some_adobe_air_apps_worth_a_look.php">our previous post</a> (and besides, isn't everyone running it by now, anyway?). We would have also loved to include <a href="http://www.airpress.org/">AirPress</a>, but sadly, this desktop blogging AIR app has not been kept up-to-date.</p>

<p>An honorable mention goes out to <a href="http://www.userplane.com/desktop/">Userplane Desktop</a>, a brandable Adobe AIR app for bloggers in the big leagues. This white label solution can keep your users informed as to your site's news, keeping them engaged even when they're not on the web site itself.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Apparently programmers love Adobe AIR, and my experience has been less than positive.  Twhirl, and the Pownce application were the two I used for a couple of weeks before deleting both.  Both applications were sluggish.  This on an Intel iMac with 1gb of RAM.  The applications weren't very user friendly either, and screen real estate was all over the place.  I'll await until either Adobe or programs like Twitter and Pownce and their programmers get their heads together and give the consuming public a useable product.</p>]]>
