Introducing Feedalizr - Is Adobe AIR better than the Facebook Platform?

feedalizrAdobe 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
FriendFeed has a public API and has no official apps, but this appears to be as close as you could possibly get to one. It's very slick, and gets the job done.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
