Everyone seems to be talking about Adobe Air these days. The applications have been really taking off and they seem to so slick in design and functionality. A month or so ago Seesmic made the acquisition of Twhirl, which made Twhirl the first Adobe Air based application to be acquired. Since then Air seems to have become even more popular.

Up until the last few days there has been only one place to find a full list of Adobe Air Applications, and that has been in the Adobe Air marketplace on the Adobe site. However, a new marketplace has launched and it is called FreshAirApps.

FreshAirApps is written on the ExpressionEngine software and really has some great functionality and design. On FreshAirApps applications are showcased and then users can vote for the best applications. Currently, there are only a totally of about 500 applications written on Adobe Air, so the marketplace will be starting off slowly, but will soon pickup speed in the coming months. FreshAirApps also shows users how to implement and install Air apps through the tutorial section.

That all being said Air is easy to install and their are already great applications on the platform, such as eBay, FineTune and NASDAQ applications.
