Microsoft has just concluded their 2009 Professional Developers Conference (PDC) and i thought i should write one of the many new applications mentioned. In the end i handpicked Fishbowl, a desktop-based application capable of running Facebook on your desktop.
Fishbowl is a powerful Facebook client in many ways; it is powered by Microsoft Silverlight, has a very different interface design which colors can be changed, has a slick, intuitive way of letting users browse through friends & photo albums and many more features worthy of praise. After all this, it consumes moderate RAM & processing power (i used Core Duo & 2 GB memory as benchmark for this little application…=D), truly a nice program for Facebook lovers. The only weakness is it is very bad in rendering Profile Pages of friends, but i think we can point the finger at Silverlight.
Fishbowl for Facebook is available for the 32-bit Windows XP and both 32-bit & 64-bit of Windows Vista & Windows 7, although Microsoft mentioned that the application is developed with Windows 7 in mind, which rightly explain the additional ability of Fishbowl in supporting Windows 7′s Jump List, Aeropeek and even touch-screen support.
