Great AIR Apps I Use
Lately, my list of AIR applications has grown tremendously. So I thought I’d share the AIR apps I have installed and actually use on a weekly basis. This post was inspired by JeffisaGeek’s post Using Adobe Air?

Feedalizr FriendFeed App Is Back In The Game
The first AIR app for FriendFeed, Feedalizr has been suspiciously silent up until today. When the app first debuted, I didn’t like it one bit. Compared to Alert Thingy and Twhirl, it just didn’t compare. A little after it’s debut, Feedalizr released another update, but still wasn’t a competitor. Today, Feedalizr finally shows some [...]
Bring Google Reader To Your Desktop With ReadAIR

Sorry to put it so frankly, but it does. You can now filter by name, [...]

The FriendFeed Desktop Apps Disappoint Me
Both Alert Thingy and, very recently, Twhirl, have pushed out grand updates for both Twitter/Friendfeed desktop clients. However, I’m utterly disappointed in them both.
Alert Thingy Updates
Twitter and Friendfeed updates in the same window
Twitter integration
Flickr integration
More themes
TinyURL integration
Ok great. These are all really neat integrations. Regardless of all of these [...]
