For those who are interested in micro-blogging and AIR apps, you’ve probably already installed both Twhirl for Twitter and more recently AlertThingy for FriendFeed.
AlertThingy was just released on April 13th by Howard Baines. Three days in, and I do enjoy it. But being a new “thingy,” it lacks some cooler features, including the ability to post directly to Twitter while posting to FriendFeed. Twhirl currently supports something similar – it allows posts to both Twitter and to Pownce.
With a new release of AlertThingy is coming soon, there’s a strong indication this one will come with Twitter support. One of the authors of AlertThingy is a Twitter user himself. In reply to a Tweet from me where I ask of any plans to have AlertThingy update Twitter, too?, Jeremy replies: you never know!
Now, check out his most recent “Tweet Testing!” . Testing a tweet from within AlertThingy perhaps? Twitter is reporting that his most recent Tweet was sent via web, but stay tuned for more details.
Update: Not only has AlertThingy now released support for Twitter, but Twitter has shot back by releasing support for FriendFeed.
