I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...

So who's going to be the first one to come up with something that links everything on the web together?

I just uninstalled this yesterday. It was good, but it took up way to much memory (about 56,000 K)

Too bad they removed FriendFeed support in newest version. Only available in the old plain version.
AlertThingy is dead for me..

Might as well just use both. I like Twhirl better so far but it doesn't have Facebook support or RSS feeds. So a combination of the two will make one very useful offspring.

Installation: while not too painful was annoying as it forced me to re-install the same version of AIR I already had. It would be nice if the code actually checked before forcing a new install.
Settings: Could never get it to work w/Facebook even after manually configuring FB to allow Alerty access to everything it asked. Also no access to how often it requests updates. For Twitter users, the latter needs to be included. Has no filters (that I could ascertain) to avoid double data being culled.
Use: Pretty simple to use barring the annoyances above. However, it merges every feed into one long stream. The current version is a bit confusing frankly. And if you add RSS feeds it becomes even worse.
Overall: Off to a good start but I won't be abandoning twhirl anytime soon. It still needs a lot of work, IMHO.
