Yes, you didn’t read it wrong here. It’s free due to the current recession that hit the market badly and a lot of developers are retrenched (probably).

I definitely welcome this approach from Adobe which offer developers a nice tool to pick up the Flex, one of the best RIA language that you should pick up. If you’re currently unemployed or retrenched, you could easily head over to https://freeriatools.adobe.com to get you free Flex Builder 3!

There’s no proof needed and its purely out of honesty, that after you check the checkbox to confirm that you’re unemployed at the moment and you will follow those license agreements, etc etc, and that’s it!

It’s a bit late for me to tell you this piece of great news now, but it’s still available! And I’ve actually shared this on Facebook as well. So if you’re keen to embark on a new journey for RIA (Rich Internet Application) and wish to get this nice tool, and you’re really not working for any company and would not re-distribute this Flex Builder 3 to anyone else, plus… you won’t be using it to develop any commercial product, then you are safe to apply for the license code for Flex Builder 3 Professional!

So what are you still waiting for? Get started and be a Flex developer today!

This is where you select which version you want to apply for:

And you know what? It’s now in the top 10 most popular Twitter Client list even though it has just been released not long ago! Cool, I was always waiting for cool updates from Team Seesmic. Before this, they have Seesmic for Facebook, which is still in preview version and it can’t capture comment and/or likeness and other features of Facebook status update yet. But I can’t deny that it’s a nice tool to use too.

Again, here is a screenshot for you on Seesmic for Facebook

Seesmic For Facebook

I won’t go into much details on Facebook as it’s really still in preview beta version, quite simple, but good enough for preview!

Talking about Seesmic Desktop, it’s quite cool! You can put your friends or people you’re following into your own groups (up to you to create), and if you have more than one twitter accounts, you can login with multiple accounts too! Cool huh?

And what’s more? It’s announced that Facebook and Seesmic Web (Video Blogging Site) will also be coming soon to Seesmic Desktop, which we will see 3 most popular services integrated into one Desktop Client!

Here is a review or write-up from another author on Seesmic for Facebook, feel free to read!

Can’t wait to try it out for the upcoming integrated client. But at the meantime, I do have a lot of feedbacks for Seesmic Desktop, together with features which I would like to see in Seesmic Desktop too!

I want the tweets update to include user photo and tweet content, which is currently showing as “You have 1 friend update” or something similar. And I would like to have the options to auto shorten my URL if it’s found at the last line or falls into the last few characters, it would be a nice feature to have!

Well, do share with them more after you’ve tried out Seesmic Desktop, the more people giving them suggestions and feedback, the better final version you could expect to have!

Tempted? Join me and the big family now! Visit Seesmic Desktop today and start using it! And don’t forget to try out Seesmic for Facebook too!
