The Summary is an Ad Graphic? I've used the Adobe AIR products, Tweetdeck and Twhirl on both my iMac and Netbook. In both instances they have failed miserably. I began to use AIR when Twhirl first came out and it crashed repeatedly. There was also the issue of it wandering all over my desktop. I uninstalled it at that time, both AIR and Twhirl and decide to wait. Well then a month or so ago I again loaded Abobe AIR and Twhilr and Tweetdeck on both the iMac and my newly acquired Acer One Netbook to give them another chance. Within two weeks of my install, they crashed on both machines. FAIL. As with many Social Networking products and tools these days, the concept is great, and it's the implementation that is lacking. I like the concept of a stand alone product and yet Adobe has failed in this instance, unlike their Adobe Reader which has worked like a charm since I first downloaded it so many years ago.

The story was interesting, and I'm going to try some of these applications. I've had some trouble with AIR in the past, though only with the Linux client, so I understand PaulSwansen's frustration. My trouble has mostly been in keeping the apps active on multiple screens. But for a few hours at any rate, the Toodledo and Kronos apps have been stable. Haven't exactly given them a workout yet, though.
