I just noticed the total integration of Web Content: Training, Community, Exchange, News, Tutorials, and all out enormous amount of cool content being pushed down to me on my very own desktop through Adobe Bridge. I’m pretty sure they are using Flex. What a great example of utilizing Flex on the desktop.

As a Designer, I visit Adobe’s website for video training, tutorials, download photoshop brushes, illustrator patterns, and Flash and Flex info pretty much everyday. I am so stoked that the places I go, are already there organized by program, and by resource type, basically how “I” need them. No need to keep going to the bookmarks. Saves me a couple steps anyway. I think this integration is one more step towards seamlessness and I’m sure we are going to be seeing more.
