Adobe Air Applications

I chose to evaluate an Adobe Air application called clDesktop. This program creates an enhanced graphic interface with the popular Criaglist.com sites which list many goods and services for sale locally in cities around the country. After first installing the Adobe Air plug-in and the clCraigslist program I found it easy to get started. I often use Craigslist when looking for good used merchandise that is locally available. I particularly liked the enhanced user interface which allowed me to see the pictures and full descriptions of multiple listings on one screen versus having to individually click and open separate links in the original web based Craigslist site. This site allows me to quickly look up items using various search queries and all necessary information to spot a good deal on one preloaded page with as many as 50 items per page. The ability to save searches also comes in handy when you are patiently waiting for a deal to emerge in a specific product category over the course of many weeks or months. The program performed as stated in enhancing my Craiglist experience and I will continue to use and recommend it for it’s speed and utility when wanting to quickly and efficiently scour Craigslist items.
