Adobe visar upp Air | Mobilfeber Mobil / Mjukvara Adobe visade nyligen upp sin utvecklings-plattform Air och vad man kan tänkas få för resultat. Det är helt klart det mest välpolerade korsplattforms-verktyget jag sett visas upp på det här sättet. Med tanke på att de inte har haft tillgång till iPad speciellt länge är det än mer imponerande. Spelet Othello använder sig av exakt samma kod på de fem olika plattformarna, det enda som skiljer är sedan hur koden körs, den biten står Adobe för. Om Air tar fart så kan vi nog komma att se appar som är snudd på identiska, vilken telefon eller dator vi nu än sitter vid.
Twitter Search Paperboy: Bridging the Gap Between Print and Online News Swiss startup Kooaba is trying to bring the worlds of printed news and virtual content closer together with its Paperboy iPhone app. This app, which is currently only available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, allows users to take pictures of articles from a range of popular magazines and papers and then see additional content about these articles on their iPhones. Paperboy will also make a digital version of the article available in your Kooaba archive and users can then share this article with their friends by email and on Facebook and Twitter. Note: Paperboy isn't available in the U.S. version of Apple's App Store. In the U.S., only Kooaba's app for recognizing books, DVD covers and other physical objects is currently available. Kooaba, which specializes in image recognition and already offers similar recognition tools for book and CDs, is working directly with a number of magazine publishers in the German-speaking world. Overall, this looks like an interesting concept.

Study: 52 Percent Of Bloggers Consider Themselves Journalists According to a new study released by PR Week and PR Newswire, 52% percent of bloggers surveyed consider themselves journalists. This is an increase from 2009’s study, when just one in three had the same opinion. However, despite this, only 20% of bloggers obtain the majority of their income from their blogs; which is an 4% increase from 2009. A few other stats caught our attention as well. The stats are even more interesting when it comes to using Twitter, which is often a place for breaking news and consumer trends, alone for research. 64% of bloggers and 36% of online reporters said they use Twitter as a research tool for stories. Here at TechCrunch, we rely on other blogs for research even more than traditional news outlets. Photo Credit/Flickr/MikeLicht
