  Re: Adobe Air

  on NY Times Says No To Useful App Rather Than Improving Memory
  Chris has it right -- the memory leak fault lies in Air (specifically Flash running within the Air framework), not TweetDeck.

  TweetDeck

  on NY Times Says No To Useful App Rather Than Improving Memory
  I stopped using TweetDeck for a while because it was chewing up RAM like crazy (800+mb at one point). Then I upgraded Adobe Air and it normalized down to about 150MB of RAM. It's worth it to me to run the app -- it makes Twitter useful for me, but then again I'm running on lots of RAM so it doesn't matter as much as it might to someone else. I could see it being a superb tool for journalists. The Times is being shortsighted.
