TechCrunch reported today about the Digg API Visualization Contestwhich was held to celebrate the release of the Digg API.
As TechCrunch stated (and I couldn't have worded it any better:
“Four of the ten finalists are Adobe Apollo based applications, remarkable for a platform launched just over 2 months ago.”
To be fair to TechCrunch, I don't want to cut and paste everything in the article but I will say that it certainly shows the viability of Apollo for providing desktop applications using tried and true web technologies. I don't see Apollo supplanting traditional desktop platforms such Microsoft's .Net coupled with Visual Studio/C#/VB etc but it is good to see an alternative to bring web apps to the desktop.
