Adobe AIR released its beta back in June 2007, but it was only yesterday that they finally launched their finished product. This must be important news for developers because according to Adobe - they can now use familiar tools such as Adobe Dreamweaver , Flex, Flash, or any text editor to build their applications and easily deliver a single application installer that works across operating systems. For those who don't develop (like me, for example), ...

I think we all understood why it's important to make long URLs shorter when we needed more character space in the limitation of 140 characters on Twitter....So far TinyURL is doing a great job on that, but prevents you to see statistic data that can be valuable for you.Cligs is taking one step forward and allows you to see the stats of the submitted links. Within your Cligs account, you can create an unlimited number ...

Anyway, I've tested an application today that somewhat reminded me of Tamagotchi, but this time I'm talking about a Web app.It's called Shidonni, and it's an Israel-based service suited for children in age 4 to age 14.If you're a ...

(oh wait, that actually applies to anyone who lives outside of the USA, Canada or India)Anyway, I am really happy to say that this time is over for me - I paid small fee to get my social life back, and in real time.tweetSMS allows you to send and receive all your tweets to and from your mobile phone. After signing up, you can immediately start tracking all your Twitter history from a very neat control panel, and you'll receive a few free SMS (credits) to test it. If it works for you, you can easily add more credits to your account using Paypal. Its as simple as that.tweetSMS supports 190 countries - here's the pricing list.Another similar service that I've tested today is TwitSMS, but that one didn't work on my phone... However, I've heard from someone else that this option is good as well, so you might want to check out both of them.As far as I'm concerned, Twitter just missed a good business model.

I don't recall if I ever listed my favorite services in one post. The reason that I'm doing it now is because I feel something has changed from last year. The main change is my use of recommendation services such as: Digg, Stumbleupon and Reddit - services that I was so addicted to and somehow now are no longer my main interest.It's not that I'm not using those services completely, but definitely not as much ...

With all do respect to Twitter Search: Summize, it's not working good, certainly not as good as Tweet Scan! If I have to choose between replies or ALL replies, I choose the second one (comparison).The screenshot below speaks for itself:Shot at the same time.

I'm almost sure Tweetbots will cause some noise around twitter because it's actually resends people tweets automatically, so I can't say I like it nor gonna use it. But if you find any good ways of using it (like it shown on the video below), and like to give it a try, I have 3 spare invitations.
