Sometimes it amazes me how I miss reviewing some of the best web 2.0 tools and services. FriendFeed is one such web 2.0 service that launched this year and has created a lot of buzz around the web 2.0 world. The service basically lets you keep a track of your friends’ activity around various social networks like YouTube, Flickr, Twitter etc.

Here what we have is probably the first ever web app created for FriendFeed. Alert Thingy is a web app for FriendFeed, built on the Adobe AIR platform, which brings all of your friends’ activity to your desktop. Just like FriendFeed itself, Alert Thingy will give you alerts and notifications about what your friends are doing around different social networks.

Webware thinks that application might not be that much powerful like the online service itself but can serve as a better desktop tool for users who want to track their friends’ activity around Twitter only. The application good chances of making it to the 10 most useful Adobe AIR applications.

To install the application, simply visit Alert Thingy and give it a go.

We also have a guide for Ubuntu users on How to Install Adobe AIR on Ubuntu.
