Shortly after Loic Le Meur’s Seesmic acquired the excellent Twitter client Twhirl, the new geek hotness FriendFeed got its first AIR app, Alert Thingy (review), which additionally handles Twitter feeds. Le Meur charged his new employee with putting FriendFeed features into Twhirl to preserve parity.

FriendFeed support in the current version of Twhirl is pretty sparse. whether you find it frustrating, however, sit tight for a few more hours considering yet another update to Twhirl is on the way, Le Meur told me

that new version will let you post images to your FriendFeed history just by dragging them into your window. That could be pretty cool whether you’re a FriendFeed user. Personally, I’m hoping that the Twhirl developer finds a way to integrate Twitter and FriendFeed details into one window; the current two-window setup takes up too much screen real estate.

We plus await watchful Thingy’s latest update in that enjoyable game of AIR app leapfrog.

A lot of window space for news about nothing
