			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you addicted to to social networks like Twitter or Friendfeed ? If you are you might be interested in the Adobe Air application Alert Thingy which combines three popular networks into one desktop application.  Once installed it is possible to receive Friendfeed updates, send and receive Twitter tweets and post photos to Flickr from the desktop application.</p>
<p>I mentioned earlier that Adobe Air is needed to run <a href="http://www.alertthingy.com/">Alert Thingy</a> which means that you need to install it before you can install Alert Thingy. Some might think that I&#8217;m still living in the medieval Internet because I do not have a Twitter or Friendfeed account. It merely meant that I had no way of testing the application further, at least not the parts that needed an account at the two services.</p>
<p>I read at <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/23/alert-thingy-13-released-single-user-interface-for-twitter-and-friendfeed/">Techcrunch</a> however that all information were displayed in one window in contrast to Twirl which displayed the information in two windows.</p>
<p><span id="more-3912"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/alert_thingy.jpg" alt="alert thingy" title="alert thingy" width="410" height="352" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3913" /></p>
<p>A nice addition is the tiny url generator which surely comes in handy when posting messages to Twitter. The Flickr upload was designed to be easy as well. As far as I can tell only one image can be uploaded at a time but that one can be dropped into the Alert Thingy interface. I suppose it&#8217;s a great application if you use those services. </p>
