Aviary Multimedia Web Apps
A.viary.com is the home of an ornithologically-themed flock of web apps designed in part as really cool Rich Internet Applications with stunning feature sets (for a Rich Internet Application), and in part as serious design tools. I just got my beta invite, which gave me access to Pheonix, their image editor, and Peacock, a novel pattern generator capable of some amazing things.
They’ve got a whole host of similarly-named products planned, including a video editor (although there already exist some impressive offerings, such as Jumpcut and Eyespot), audio editing, and a few interesting specialty ones.
I’ve got 4 3 invites left, so if anyone wants to give it a shot (and I urge you to do so) leave a comment and I’ll send you one.
