Twhirl Integrates Friendfeed: The Chaos Begins
Twhirl has incorporated Friendfeed into their client! Twhirl’s latest upgrade here.
Just this morning, I wrote an article suggesting that the Friendfeed AIR app Alert Thingy should stay in its own lane and NOT try to directly compete with Twhirl by adding a host of features that cater to users of Twitter.
I noted [...]
Alert Thingy Should Stay In Its Own Lane
Sarah Perez recently wrote a solid article reviewing the updates of Alert Thingy, an AIR app for Friendfeed. What made the article so interesting for me were her suggestions of what Alert Thingy should integrate in their future releases. The features she requested are being echoed loudly throughout the Friendfeed community, especially amongst those [...]
Feedalizr A Friendfeed AIR App Before Alert Thingy
As it turns out, Alert Thingy was NOT the first Friendfeed Adobe AIR application. Sorry to break your hearts!
Feedalizr, another Friendfeed Adobe AIR app, was in the space first! It was released on April 11th, beating Alert Thingy by 2 days! However, it doesn’t fair much better than Alert Thingy. There aren’t any customization [...]

When it previewed on TechCrunch, the most obvious reason for the hold out [...]

No Hassle Sign In
To sign into the app, all you need is your friendfeed login name [...]
New Flavor of Google Talk: Lab Edition
Yesterday, Google released a lab edition of Google Talk. Essentially, it’s a desktop version of the Google Talk gadget that can be added to your website.
What’s New?
Tabs, emoticons, group chat, and desktop notifications for:
Gmail
Google Calendar (with snooze option)
Orkut
Of course there’s more, which they refrain from mentioning, but what I don’t see is support [...]
Sobees Widgets Are Cool
This is just a quick update, but you must do your best to get a Sobees invite to try out their beta desktop widgets (if this is your thing). I recently received an invite and I must say that I’m impressed.
So far, I’ve only been able to try out their Twitter and RSS widgets. You [...]
