I’ve just added my second application to the Adobe AIR Marketplace. You can check it out and download it here. For those that may have missed it, you can learn more about SWFShot in this post. Previously, I added my LOLCat Viewer application to the exchange. You can learn more about that app in my post here. You can download that here from the Adobe AIR Marketplace. That silly LOLCat application now has over 500 downloads, so I’m pretty happy that I put it on the exchange. I doubt it would have gotten that many people trying it out if it were on on my blog alone. That’s one of the main benefits of using that Exchange to get your stuff out there. It’s a great way to get some exposure for your extensions and applications past your blog. Many mainstream designers and developers that may not necessarily chance upon your application via your blog can see it there. So, the added visibility is just great! I highly recommend submitting your app there.

On top of that… Adobe is currently cosponsoring application signing certificates for developers that submit unsigned AIR apps to the marketplace. This means you can get one for free! These certificates from Thawte are worth about $300 if you wanted to buy one. If you have an app that is done or nearly done, my advice would be to finish it and submit it soon! The process of submitting to the exchange and¬† getting the certificate is pretty painless, and after that you get a nice cert that you can use to sign your app and get rid of those red X warnings on the install screens of your apps. A good way to put you users at ease when installing your shiny new apps. I’m pretty sure this is a limited time offer, so you better get compilin’!
