Resources and Such
A lot of great resources, information and articles have popped up since I first started ScaleNine a little over a month ago. Some of the points brought up in some of the articles below are exactly why I started this site.

Along with all that there are more great looking Flex apps bubbling to the surface. Picnik has been getting a lot of well deserved attention for what they’ve done visually with it. They have also shown that creating a unique interface and user experience goes beyond something that’s visually appealing, it adds value with something a user is going to remember and want to come back to.
Examples:

If you haven’t already check out Ted Patrick’s Flickr compilitation of other great Flex apps.
These are all great links I plan on adding to the ScaleNine resources page and homepage for future consumption.
