Hungry for some snacks?

Well I've got a treat for you! Snackr, an AIR app developed by Narciso Jaramillo who is a product designer for Flex and is working on Thermo also from what I have heard!

Anyway Snackr is a RSS ticker that just fits onto the side of your desktop in place you would like it (Top, Bottom, Left, Right). It has some neat little features in it now but its very early in development it looks like and has lots of features to come on the wish list! I can't wait to get updates for this one! Some of these new features will help out a ton but its still great now and I would recommend it to anyone.

My use for it has been for blogs that update ALOT and that I don't have time to read all the time. Like engadget, gizmodo, espn and a few others! It defiantly and quickly made the list of AIR apps to have! Thanks NJ!

You will also notice Doomi in the screenshot its a simple todo list AIR app that I like to use to help me keep some lists of things to do. It just makes to dos a bit more accessible for me...

Twitter, twhirl and tweetpotatos!

Ok so for those of you out there using Twitter or thinking about using Twitter more often this post is for you. I have been using Twitter very regularly for about 6 months now. Its a great place to share all the great moments in life with your friends and colleges. Its super easy and super quick to learn and start sending updates. Twitter gives you about 20 options for posting updates to the site. So it is convenient for just about anyone.

So to top off the convince factor to twitter I stumbled on Twhirl! Ok so for a lot of you seasoned veterns I'm sure you are fully aware of Twhirl and all of its greatness. But I wanted to go ahead and just reiterate how great Twhril really is! Twhirl is an AIR application that brings twitter to your desktop in a slick convenient interface that has about everything the Twitter site has to offer! So far its my favorite and most used AIR app I have become accustomed to, to date. Which I will go ahead and say this. Thats a big step to get a new app in my life. I am a hard sell to keep an app around for more than a week or so if I barely use it. Ok with that said... Go sign up for Twitter, download Twhirl and start getting involved in the great new social community that is Twitter! Oh and don't forget to add me!
