We’ve covered AIR application AlertThingy
quite a bit in the past, being one of the most elegant tools available to keep on top of all your social networking accounts from your desktop. Most recently, we announced AlertThingy v2 was going to add support for Digg, Facebook, Jaiku, Pownce and Tumblr besides Twitter, Flickr and lifestreaming service FriendFeed. The release was delayed a bit, and things turned out to be a bit differently than advertised.
Support for Pownce is now no longer necessary, of course, but all the other announced integrations have been included for this upgrade, with the addition of the TinyURL service. But surprisingly enough, the makers of AlertThingy (design & development house Howard / Baines) have decided to no longer support FriendFeed in this edition, which is a peculiar move to make as AlertThingy actually launched as a FriendFeed desktop application to begin with
