Track and Search FriendFeed Updates with Alert Thingy

Windows/Mac/Linux with Adobe AIR: Keep updates on all your friends’ social network activities with Alert Thingy, an application for Adobe’s AIR platform that brings FriendFeed functionality to the desktop. We’ve shown that social aggregator site FriendFeed can make it faster and easier to keep tabs on friends, and while you could track those updates with a private RSS feed, Alert Thingy lets you keep it in an buddy-list-like window, available for quick browsing and, best of all, searching. If you can’t keep yourself from digging through your various social memberships to see what’s new, Alert Thingy might at least make it quicker to do so. Alert Thingy is a free download for Adobe’s AIR platform, which runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
