AIR is finally taking off
AIR is the Adobe runtime for desktop applications. After installing AIR, you can install and run desktop applications built in HTML and JavaScript or Flash, for example. AIR applications use traditional Web client-side technologies to build installed desktop applications.
As a Flash developer for the past few years, I've been waiting for this moment. Funny that it happens just as I moved from Flash development to SAAS development. Enter Yammer, my first truely just-by-chance installed AIR app. Yammer is still small but gaining in popularity. I just installed it, too. Those are not just Yammer installs; they are AIR installs. AIR is finally taking off.
AIR will be one of many technologies further merging the Internet and the desktop. I better find an excuse to make a couple of AIR apps at work!

Quotes Good and Bad
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
