Introducing Feedalizr - Is Adobe AIR better than the Facebook Platform?
Adobe AIR apps are the new hotness. We're seeing more and more pop up every single day. It's looks like the AIR platform is turning into the Facebook Platform on steroids.Why? Because it's cross platform, and what a brilliant move by Adobe on that. You can install an AIR app on Mac or PC in a blink. Not only that, but it runs lightweight as all heck.
The latest app that has everyone talking is a desktop compliment to the increasingly popular FriendFeed. Introducing Feedalizr.
With FriendFeed's pretty neat Remote Key system, you can allow apps to access your FriendFeed stream. So getting Feedalizr going once you have Adobe AIR installed is a snap.
Some of the things that Feedalizr lets you do from your desktop:
- Filter updates by service, such as Flickr, Pownce, and Twitter
- Filter updates by friend, so if you just want to see Robert Scoble's mega-galacta-stream you can
- Post videos - which is rather seamless, and records right from your cam in the app
- Drag and drop photos and upload right to Flickr
- Get instant updates in that nice slick slidey fashion on the bottom right hand side of your desktop

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Adobe AIR is great, but it'd be nice to see more compelling apps written for it besides the constant stream of RSS and Twitter readers.
