Two news stories on the Seesmic front this week that we’re late in covering: Seesmic on Nokia phones, and a Twhirl update.
Seesmic is now available on Nokia N95 phones, the first time Seesmic has offered a cell phone client. With the client, Seesmic users are able to record and watch videos directly on their [...]

Open source Twitter AIR application Spaz has added supported for Identi.ca and Ping.fm. The support though at this stage isn’t for the non-technically inclined, with both requiring edits to Spaz’s code to work.
To use Identi.ca via Spaz, users must manually edit the preferences.json file, swapping twitter-api-base-url and twitter-base-url out for identi.ca/api. The genius though of [...]

The next update of the Twitter/ FriendFeed/ Seesmic AIR application Twhirl will include support for Identi.ca, according to a scoop by Rafe Needleman at WebWare.
The even more interesting thing about the implementation: Twhirl supports push updates from Identi.ca, negating the need for regular refreshing (although the client can refresh as well). However Rafe notes that [...]

The Seesmic enabled “private” version of Twhirl has been updated, adding additional features, but sadly, no Seesmic recording yet.
Twhirl 0.8.3a adds support for the “active conversations” panel to show the same conversations as available on seesmic.com. The timeline now includes real-time updates of the public timeline, and the options dialog allows [...]

I first wrote about Feedalizr back in May when I suggested that established players Twhirl and Alert Thingy had some serious competition in the FriendFeed desktop app space. Development of Feedalizr hasn’t stopped, and thanks to the folks at Feedalizr I’ve got my hands on the pre-release of the next version, 1.1.4.
The new changes
- Individual [...]

Seesmic CEO Loic Lemeur has announced that Seesmic is now available in a beta version of Twhirl (download here). Loic is quick to point out in the video above that this is a trial and the new version may have bugs.
Having downloaded it my initial thoughts: this liberates Seesmic. I’ve never been a huge [...]

Twitter and FriendFeed client Twhirl has release an updated version (0.8.2) that finally tackles the applications biggest flaw: looks.
The biggest change is how Twhirl renders FriendFeed entries. Gone are the days of Twhirl generating hard to read text and difficult to follow threads, replaced instead by a cleaner look, clearer fonts (at least the headlines [...]

If you’ve missed the phenomena, FriendFeed is taking the first adopter world by storm. I wasn’t initially convinced, but after asking Louis Gray to convince me, I gave it another shot, and now I’m completely hooked.
I’ve touched previously on some of my thoughts as to the features FriendFeed could add, but here’s my entire wish [...]

Feedalizr is an Adobe AIR app for FriendFeed that is getting a lot of buzz on FriendFeed at the moment. If you haven’t heard of it you’re not alone, however the service is actually 2 days older than Alert Thingy, often credited as the first desktop FriendFeed application.
Feedalizr at its core is a simple to [...]

Since being persuaded by Louis Gray to give FriendFeed another shot Monday, I’ve been testing desktop clients that run both Twitter and FriendFeed.
The review doesn’t include every desktop app, only ones that run on a Mac (although I know of only one non-Mac desktop client). Strangely all three are Adobe AIR apps (no Cocoa [...]
