For the last few months we've been developing something called YODL - a cool and user-friendly desktop application which delivers all your favourite aviation and aerospace industry news and content straight onto the desktop of your computer.
A desktop application is a piece of software which you download and install onto your computer, as opposed to a website which you visit via a network connect (and which is for the most part remote from your machine).
YODL is built on the Adobe Air platform so users of apps such as TweetDeck will be familiar with the format.
The configurable interface allows you to add channels of content based around focused subject material, eg. aerospace technology.
Once you've subscribed your YODL app will update automatically if it detects any new content in any of your channels, and will display a friendly little message in the corner of your screen to let you know.
Here's the kind of stuff it will contain:
• Up-to-the minute news
• Free digital editions of Airline Business magazine and Daily air show magazines
• E-newsletters
• Jobs
• Cool stuff
• Promotions
Best of all, it's completely free to use and there's no lengthy forms to fill out, so it's definitely worth a trial.
Visit www.flightglobal.com/yodl for more information
If you're still not convinced, check out this video which dazzles and grooves its way through the YODL experience in one whole minute.
