Posty - Beta1
Update: new version of posty here.
Are you a microblogger? Wanna quickly post on your social places? Posty is for you! To update a social network, three steps are usually needed:
- Login
- Write message
- Click post
After a while, the update of your profile can get boring, because of repeated actions.With Posty you write a message once, choose the services to update, and click post. That’s all!
At the moment posty supports posting to Twitter, Jaiku and Pownce. Give it a try.Quick instructions. Posty is an Adobe air application. It runs on MacOsx and Windows (Xp/Vista). To run Posty you need to download Adobe Air installer.

OK, once you have Facebook & Tumblr added, I can definitely see this being better than Ping.fm, but I am still wanting something that can give me responses like Twhirl, but from more than just Twitter - I guess I’m really just thinking of something that will add Pownce replies…… I would love an app like Twhirl for FriendFeed…. OK, sorry, this has turned from a comment to a beg for more software!
I have installed it, but just wanna ask, what does the max posts mean? Surely you won’t shut us down after 10 - 20 posts!!

Friendfeed will soon release API. So I will put it in my todo list.
Max 10-20 means the number of posts you can visualize each time you load a timeline (public or personal).

@Paula
don’t worry … I already changed that label to “Max Posts to load”, which should be clearer.

Nice app… Why, though, do links in the app open in IE when I have Firefox configured as my default browser?

@Adam
Thanks for the feedback! I didn’t notice this behavior. I will check and let you know.
Thanks again.

I bet a beer you are using vista.
From Adobe release notes:
On Windows Vista, calling the navigateToURL() function may not open the default browser; it always opens Internet Explorer. To workaround this problem, go to Start > Default Programs > Set Program Access and Computer Defaults, expand Custom, select the radio button next to the application you want to set as the system-wide default browser (for example, Mozilla Firefox) and apply the setting.
(from: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403153)
I call exactly that function.
