Posty Updated – Now Has Tons More Features, Plans for Identi.ca Support

Posty, an Adobe AIR app I mentioned briefly here is a tool that lets you update Twitter, Jaiku, Facebook, FriendFeed, and Pownce all at once. Today, this app has received an update which brings with it several new features that make the app much more useful than before. These new features include the ability to browse Twitter friends’ statuses, the ability to browse FriendFeed friends’ entries, the addition of Twitter search powered by Summize, and the addition of built-in FriendFeed search. With these new features, Posty is transforming itself from just a multi-service update tool like HelloTxt on AIR to a full-fledged client for interacting with these various micro-blogging services.

One thing that wasn’t updated are the themes. The theme changer only updates the font color used to label the updates and other items. Although there are several different themes to choose from in Posty, but all of them keep the black background which many people find hard to read.

They’ve also announced that Plurk and identi.ca will also be supported as soon as those sites release an official API.
