FriendFeed Brings Real-Time Updates to the Desktop
Fri, Mar 13th, 2009 |
I thought that when FriendFeedFriendFeed reviews added the option to receive updates over Google Talk, it might be the feature that finally got me addicted to the social aggregator. Alas, constant updates via instant message proved to be a bit too much for my tastes, and I disabled the feature.
Today, the company is rolling out a new notifier, this time in the desktop format with an Adobe Air application. The app addresses the potential information overload problem with a number of features to customize both who you see updates from and how often you see them.
