Ebay Desktop is one of the renowned Adobe applications which allows its sellers to complete a listing offline and then upload it to eBay when they are connected to the internet. Of course there are endless list of other applications but in this post we are gonna look at ReadAir.

What's so special about ReadAir? It's derived from probably the best aggregator, Google reader, which contains many useful functions and more importantly, it's my favorite RSS aggregator. ReadAir will stream you latest news and articles from your online Google reader right into your desktop.

I've been using ReadAir since a week ago (at that time it was version 0.1) and within several days it progresses to .21 with more features added. The following shows the current progress and future implementation.

Features

• NEW (Version 0.2) Continuation (Allow users to view more than 20 items per feed)
• NEW (Version 0.11) J/K Shortcuts
• NEW (Version 0.11) User preferences (Mac/PC)
• Mac themed scrollbars and form elements
• Full synchronization with Google Reader Account
• Add/Remove/Manage tags
• Subscribe/Unsubscribe from feeds
• Search your feeds
• Resizable viewing pane
• Auto software update
• Auto login

To do

• Offline mode
• Rest of the Keyboard shortcuts
• Windows XP/Vista and custom themes
• Unread count in Mac doc icon

I hope ReadAir will keep evolving and gets better.

While Keepm put all your online contacts at one place, Digsby is a desktop application that integrates your IM accounts(Yahoo Messenger, AIM, MSN and Google Talk), email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and AOL) and social networks (Facebook, Myspace and Twitter) together. Digsby simplifies the process of having to login to different accounts to get up to date with your friends and associates. With only a single login you are already connected to your entire internet network and it will definitely save you time and effort.

The simplicity of the interface and its intuitiveness is the thing that really catch my attention. The design and its color combination is cheerful and brightful. Apart from its default skin, Digsby also offers 2 skins with several variations for you to choose from.

Other features include combined buddy list for ICQ, Yahoo, AIM, MSN, Jabber and Google Talk,merging duplicate contacts, tabbed chat windows and 2-way SMS from the IM window. There are few functions that can be performed directly from the Digsby such as "Mark as Read" or "Report Spam" right from the email InfoBox.

Tabbed chatting is a great feature and would be a great feature especially to those who frequently chat with multiple friends simultaneously. With this feature, our desktop and taskbar space will not be occupied unnecessarily by multiple chat windows.

You can see more features here and give it a try. The file size is roughly 17MB and it’s completely free to be downloaded here.

Keepm is an online application tool that will definitely help you in reducing your burden. There are several features in Keepm that will entice you into using the service. First and foremost, it's totally free. Secondly, since this is an online application, you don't have to download and install any software in your computer. So, no more additional software inside your computer.

Ok, let's go with the registration first. The registration is simple because it only requires your name, email address and password. No activation link or anything similar that need to be completed and after you hit the "create account" button, you are already in its system.

There are only 5 tabs inside the system to keep it simple and intuitive for everybody to use. The "add new contact" button is where you can any new contact manually. To start adding new contact, you need to fill up your contact's name before you are brought to the next page where you will be asked to add more details such as telephone number, email addres, instant messenger etc. For this feature I prefer to fill in everything in one go without going to the next page but hey, 2-simple-page is not really tedious.

The "import" tab is the most exciting one. This import function will allow you to centralize your online contact lists from several websites such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Rediff, LinkedIn and Orkut. A step-by-step guideline is also included to walk you through the whole process. Within a few seconds your important contact list of a particular service is already imported inside Keepm.

Exporting contacts are just as easy as importing them and only take just a few seconds to export them into a .CSV file or a Vcard. You may begin the exporting process by selecting the "export" tab. This feature will come handy if you have large number of contacts and need them in one converted format.

Keepm is an easy to use online contact management service in organizing your contact list. The fetching process from other services is also fast. The interface is very intuitive and user friendly. Take your time to test drive this useful application.

Basically Kuler is slick, Flash-based web application and it exists to help you in building color schemes for whatever you're trying to design. There are vast combinations to choose from. You may get into each and every color combination by category (i.e. newest, top rated etc); so you don't have to waste your time to scrutinize everything inside Kuler. More interesting, though, is kuler's social aspect: If you create an account and log in you can save and share your color themes with other users, and rate the themes others have created.

Since this website gets daily updates you may not want to miss it. While conventional feed is a good option that many people will opt in, you may also get Kuler Desktop to do the chore. The kuler desktop displays RSS feeds of color themes from kuler. You can search thousands of themes by tag, title, or creator ID. You can also browse the newest, highest rated, and most popular color themes and easily copy hex values from any theme to your clipboard.

Me: It helps me alot in the completion of my wordpress themes.
