Adobe Air is the new buzz in the application world as it allows for developers to design their applications around one framework, instead of having to port their program to many platforms. Adobe Air applications are usually fairly small, and most update themselves automatically when needed. Overall it is a pretty solid piece of software, and if you check out the applications that are out there for it, you will see what the buzz is all about.

TweetDeck is a very robust Twitter application that runs on the Adobe Air platform. It allows for custom searches that can be saved and updated at a constant interval. It is probably one of the most popular Twitter applications out there, as it makes Twitter so much easier to use itself in most cases. It may take a few days to get used to it, but it can really save you time and effort while doing your daily Twittering. It has even added functionality for Facebook in one of it's later updates, solidifying it as an upcoming app in the Facebook community as well.

DeskTube is a pretty cool adobe air application if you are into YouTube. Not only can you search for and watch YouTube videos from your desktop, but you can also video chat with your friends and connect easily to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
