DeskTube was a desktop application that allowed users to browse and search YouTube videos, access Twitter and Facebook accounts all from the same location.[1] Founded in 2007, DeskTube is built with Adobe AIR, which users must download first in order to utilize the program.
DeskTube and many other programs are moving to a different technological way of managing social media for different types of users. In 2009, DeskTube was cited by The Washington Post as a much easier way to surf through YouTube content. Instead of using a web browser, many companies are moving to applications that access the internet for similar purposes.
History
DeskTube was founded in June 2007. Damon, a programmer, decided that YouTube would be a much better experience through the use of an application. Instead of logging onto their web browser each time, users could just launch the application and immediately access their media information.
