We need your help. O'Reilly is conducting a competition to highlight the best RIAs of 2009. We have been compiling a list of noteworthy applications, but we want to make sure we aren't missing any. It can be especially difficult to find independent developers that aren't receiving as much attention as they might deserve. Upon completing the list we will begin voting here on InsideRIA. The finalists will be showcased at a special session at MAX 2009 where we conduct and in-depth look at each app and conduct a Q&A with the developer/development team. Please leave a comment with any submissions/suggestions. The only requirements are that the application be created/powered with Adobe tools and that they were either created, released, or updated in 2009.
