Other Adobe AIR clients have had trouble competing with Twhirl thanks to that app’s overwhelming popularity among Twitter users, but a little app called Posty has a shot. That’s mainly due to the fact that it offers the ability to multi-post to a number of services in a manner that’s similar to how HelloTxt or [...]
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 [...]
FriendFeed/Twitter AIR app Feedalizr has just launched into beta today. They had been previously been in a public alpha, but they now feel that their feature set is rich enough and enough of the bugs have been squashed to qualify their app as a beta. Along with the launch, feedalizr has been updated with a [...]
How excited was I when I heard that there was now a Google Reader Adobe AIR application that would let me browser through my feeds outside a browser? Pretty freaking excited! But then I thought "wait – why do I need this?" This doesn’t really help me solve a problem. With Twhirl, for example, I [...]
Oh dear lord. As if we didn’t already have enough with the war between Twhirl and Alert Thingy (and Feedalizer and bTittleTattle!), here comes yet another AIR app for Twitter/FriendFeed users. This one is from the makers of the Firefox extension, MySocial 24×7, and, like the extension, the app focuses on consolidating your social streams [...]

I temporarily forgot my obsession with having Twhirl pinned on top of my other windows, something which is especially important when I’m on my laptop. So, it’s back to Twhirl for now. [...]
Here we go again -the battle of the AIR apps continues. This time, it’s AlertThingy in the lead. They’ve just released version 1.3 of their popular FriendFeed AIR app, which you can download from their new and improved web site. The new version of AlertThingy is an answer to my prayers: Twitter and FriendFeed in [...]
Just posted this on Read Write Web: Today, the battle between the two most popular AIR apps as of late has begun. Yesterday, the FriendFeed AIR app, Alert Thingy, having only just launched on April 13th, was already getting an update – this one to include Twitter support via a built-in "Tweet" button. Not to [...]
I just saw the new on Deep Jive Interests: AlertThingy has arrived! This Adobe AIR application lets you keep tabs on your FriendFeed, similar to how Twhirl lets you tweet and keep track of your tweets. The app also has a search box, so you find words, friends, etc. in your FF stream. When you [...]
