Facebook Plunges Again
Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
New IM application for Facebook, built with Adobe AIR
Combine Facebook's API, Adobe's portable AIR runtime and a little ingenuity and you get Airwaves, and IM client built from the ground up with social networking in mind. Developer Mike Huntington explains, "The application is being built with Adobe AIR and will feature an IM System that can be integrated with the users Facebook account, Video Chat, Video Messaging, and lots more."
Still in a yet to be released state, the screenshots and concept are absolutely thrilling -- it's one of those applications that makes you smack your head and say, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Will we see a flood of new and exciting apps like this one as Adobe AIR and Microsoft's Silverlight battle it out for the kind of the somewhat portable next generation runtime of choice?

lol, now this is exactly what I need ( or perhaps shouldn't have ) for my facebook account. Screw all these little apps coming out, add instant messaging to facebook and I may never log off.
But really, I rarely use MSN any more because of facebook ( and theres been times where I have been using the note feature in replacement of MSN) this sort of app will be awesome.

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! *waves hand frantically*
I like the skins. So AIR is revolutionary how?

Good call! Granted, the whole smoked glass interface look is as catchy as the stripey iMac look, but Airwaves looks *really* similar-- just not as polished.

I, for one, welcome our HIG-ignorant, web-app overlords.**
