Building Air applications looks 'easy' with the Adobe Flex builder
Eclipse plugin. Certainly a 'hello world' application can be built and
deployed while also walking and chewing gum at the same time.

Air
uses SQLite db on the client and similar tools to those of Flash. It
is probably not true that the same code can produce a web application or
a desktop application. In reality one would usually not want this
anyway.

Very interesting how call centers can be vast in terms of the countries where it can reach. BPO industry today is surely flourishing.

Alex:

Ive been playing around with the Twhirl / Ping.fm combo that you recommended... and it seems like it COULD work if I were willing to fiddle with the setup for a while longer.

But, I think you hit the nail on the head with your remark about poor "user interface"!

I still think there must be a simpler way. One that is build into the system, and easy to setup, use, control.

Note: even with this system in place, I still dont see how to feed my blog posts into the system, and control which network gets notified...

innovation still needed. Opportunity still exists for web-entrepreneur to make it better :-)

Easy as pie! I use Twhirl to manage my eight Twitter accounts, plus a Friendfeed account. In fact, you can add multiple accounts, each of which will appear in a separate Twhirl window. You can also set each account window to open automatically or not when you fire up Twhirl, plus there are a bunch of other settings for notifications and such.

I've also set up a single Ping.fm with my various social network accounts. Then, in Twhirl, you can authenticate that single Ping.fm account within each of your Twhirl windows using the Ping.fm key. Within Twhirl and within each account, you can then turn Ping.fm on or off for each tweet you make (although Twhirl could have made this step easier - it's an UI flaw).

Anyway, I hope that was clear and that it solves your account management wishes? If not, IM me.

Hope you're enjoying Brazil!

ahhh....the trillion dollar question (becuase everything is in "trillions" these days)

You are right that if facebook were to add voice calls, they would find resistance to any attempts to charge for IP-to-IP voice.

The best I can offer them for now... is a suggestion to follow the lead of Skype, and copy the "skype-out" model...for a decent revenue stream (admittedly, it may not be enough to cover the horrible red-ink bleeding off of facebooks financials)

If i come up with the answer to the IP-IP dilemma, I'll post my thoughts....

Good tip, thanks Ryan & Alex!
the iPhone is really amazing.
not only a great product, excellent service, great design...but it makes money (unlike Facebook, which burns cash at an alarming rate)

It's a well taken point. Given the new emphasis on privacy settings, Facebook is one step away from being the front-end for an ENUM database. VoIP cannot be all that far behind. But this begs the next question: how does one monetize IP-to-IP voice?

It works... just really really janky. You have to travel to that site via safari then click on the availible persons name and then IF they have a phone number poster then you can call em. Never mind the facebook app for the phone it doesn't even have the feature.
nice try though.
skype would be better. Maybe thats what those guys are trying to buy it back from ebay.

I realize this is a smidge off what you were going for, but I am pretty sure I saw the iPhone has this feature (iphone.facebook.com). If you are browsing someone's profile, there is a call button where their phone number is located. When you press the Call button, it does some javascript code to launch the call function on the iPhone. It's obviously not Skype, and requires and iPhone, but I'm sure with the public release of the Facebook API for programmers, something along these lines will come along eventually!
