AlertThingy 1.3 is out

23 April, 2008 | Cristi | No Comment

All is in the title. :)

Well not quite all. AlertThingy is now a real Twitter client, all the updates are displayed in a single window and they hide the duplicate Twitter messages that appear from FriendFeed. Also they added simple Flickr upload. Simple but very useful. And you can use TinyURL directly. A really nice touch is that after a photo is uploaded to Flickr the app automatically generates a TinyURL for that image file.

When I fist saw the new version I wasn’t impressed but after playing a bit with it I was hooked.

AlertThingy1.3

So go download the new version here. Or you can update automatically if you have AlertThingy already installed.

Rediscover flickr

Probably the best way to view Flickr photos: PicLens. It works with Firefox, Safari and IE. No Linux version yet.

Oh… and it works great with other sharing services also: Photobucket, Picasa Web Albums, Smugmug, Facebook, MySpace and many others.

Twhirl adds FriendFeed support

17 April, 2008 | Cristi | No Comment

Yeap! It’s true, after AlertThingy added support for Twitter, today Twhirl added FriendFeed support. It will be available in version 0.8 but you can test it right now if you download the twhirl 0.7.9 from here.

Loic Le Meur has made a short video demonstrating the new features.

And Mashable! has a great “head to head” comparison between the two applications.

For those addicted to FriendFeed here comes a desktop client: AlertThingy. It’s an Adobe Air app and it has become a must have on my computer. This and twhirl – one of the the best twitter clients out there.

P.S. Abobe also launched a couple of days ago the alpha version of Air for Linux.
