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 […]

I’ve just now had time to upgrade Alert Thingy to the new version that was just released today - Alert Thingy 1.2, which I discovered thanks to Steven’s FriendFeed Watch blog. I’m really impressed with how fast they put out the new version - it seems the app was only released yesterday. I’m also […]

This looks interesting - JuiceCaster, a mobile broadcasting app, is about to arrive in Java app form on T-Mobile phones. The service, which is also available as a WAP site at m.juicecaster.com, lets you post media - like camera phone pictures and videos - and send them to your friends’ phones. You can also […]

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 […]

For a while, I had the "Share This" button on my site, which, as you may know, pops-up a window linking to every gosh-darned social news and bookmarking service currently available. And you know what? I doubt if anyone ever used that thing. If people want to bookmark you, they will do so, and […]

Earlier this week, Frengo, a mobile media company that provides games and social networking applications for your phone, announced the availability of its OpenSocial Mobile Toolkit. This toolkit will provide developers with a way to take their web apps from OpenSocial-compliant social networks and make them mobile.
The Frengo OpenSocial Mobile Toolkit includes SMS […]

As I mentioned, sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the things I’ve been wanting to blog about, so I decided that I would give my Firefox browser a break from having to keep all those tabs open and I’d just one-off everything via a link list. I know, not as good as a […]

Toluu, the new OPML sharing service that I blogged about on Read Write Web, has just added two new features folks have been asking for: RSS feeds for the activity stream and tighter integration with feed readers.
You can now subscribe to your activity stream in two different ways - either a "me only" stream or […]

I just saw this story hit Techmeme: it’s entitled "Facebook Friends Not Real Friends." They’re not? Well, at least not in the UK. Not anymore.
Apparently, the story arises from a case where a British judge cleared an ex-boyfriend of a harassment charge after he repeatedly sent his ex a "friend request." Your first […]
