Last week I finally started using an AIR application, TweetDeck, because my brother said it was cool. Now I'm reading about Flex and AIR, and I have to say, I might have been missing out on a good thing. It looks to me like Flex and AIR are together a powerful front-end platform for building nice applications... where by nice I mean the things that Ben Shine traditionally loves: smooth, swoopy, delicate, rounded, subtle, surprising, shiny.
This bears investigation.
