Adobe Target FreshAIRapps Officially Moves to a New Home
July 20th, 2008 at 7:30 pmSource:Mashable!
Only two weeks have passed since we first reported on Adobe Inc’s undertaking to remove the FreshAIRapps domain and nameplate from the Web. In short, FreshAIRapps was a compendium or directory of applications built upon the Adobe AIR platform. Users could rate codeworks and read relevant news and so forth in one central location. It would be accurate to have called it a fairly popular upstart.
Yes, called is the key word to keep in mind now. According to the founder of FreshAIRapps, James Whittaker, who alerted Mashable to the fact earlier today, the website is no more. An attempt to visit the URL shows a mostly bare white page, stating that the site has moved to a new location. Seconds later, the visitor is automatically transferred there. “There” being RefreshingApps.com.
It sports a slightly different design, but its basic makeup is all very much intact. The one overt exception is a now-absent section originally seen at FreshAIRapps, labeled ‘Tutorials.’
There was a notable level of resentment and fury levied at Adobe for pushing forcefully for the removal of FreshAIRapps in name only. Some commenters found it peculiar that the company would enforce a trademark of “AIR.” I myself seconded such objections. Still, the site’s creator continued to converse with Adobe over the planned transfer to the RefreshingApps domain and has now officially announced the completion of the move.
Whittaker does note he and the RefreshingApps project “will be working closely with Adobe and their evangelists to further promote the Adobe AIR offering” as well as RefreshingApps.com. He also mentioned that word concerning “AIR stuff and RefreshingApps” will likely be delivered by Adobe sometime this week.
