Congrats to a Bunch of Companies Using Flex/Flash/AIR

Posted on by

It has been a good couple of weeks for companies using Flex/Flash/AIR and a lot of these companies are starting to get some mainstream press which is great for Adobe and great to see them get recognized for all of the work they’ve put into these things.

The first congrats goes out to SlideRocket (I have a few invites left here if you want them). SlideRocket won best overall at the Under the Radar Conference. Ribbit got best for Business Calls. Rafe Needleman also mentioned Blist and SlideRocket as one of his 5 favorite apps at the conference.

Picnik has also been getting a lot of publicity. They were in Time Magazine recently in an article about the demise of shrink-wrapped software (PDF Link) and they won the I.D. Magazine’s Annual Design Review award in the interactive category.

All of these companies are some of my favorite examples of Flex work so it’s really awesome to see them get publicity and recognition.

    Thanks for the list! I definitely have some new apps to check out. I’m surprised that Mint.com is not mentioned. I guess there was no Productivity category at the conference perhaps. Nonetheless, Mint was a Webware 100 Productivity finalist. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and it’s nothing short of magical to me. It’s basically like QuickBooks on auto-pilot. When I think of the hurdles they must have gone through in development: legally, financially, web security, data storage, data transfer, cross-domains etc…..it’s mind boggling and in my opinion, the most ‘killer’ online app (Flex or otherwise) I’ve seen. (there might be some AJAX but the charts are Flex). I have nothing to do with them btw.. I just think it’s a remarkably useful site and something I’ve wanted for years personally… just swipe any credit card, write any check, move money from a 401k to a stock acct.. and it all just shows up categorized in one place for tax time. Beautiful.

    Michael, yeah, I’m a big fan of Mint. I haven’t played with it a lot but I love what those guys are up to.
