I take it all back, I want to drown in awesomeness! It’s one thing for Twitter to be down (I wonder what Corvida’s doing now?), but for Twitter and FriendFeed to be down at the same time? Noooo….
Seriously! I got this:
Can everyone just please send me your tweets in the comments? Help!….Oh and […]

I never thought Twitter spammers were that big of a deal. Unlike with spam in your inbox, you can just "unfollow" and "block" spammers, you know. However, it looks like Twitter won’t be letting spammers muck up the community they’ve built. I saw the news over on Stay N’ Alive, where Jesse Stay wrote:

I’ve had a Facebook account for a while, I have well over 100 friends, and yet I still can’t see any real point to it. Barring an occasional visit to clear out […]

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.

Well, it’s back to Twhirl. In my excitement to finally have my Twitter stream and FriendFeed stream all in one window, (and de-duped!) 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 […]

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 […]

One comes from Internet Duct Tape - "How to Import Your Twitter Contacts to FriendFeed." This post features a program that uses Google’s social graph to find links between your Twitter friends and FriendFeed users. […]
