What SocialAddict does is loads the mobile or iPhone version of each site for easy access.  Again, I didn’t tie into any APIs or do massive re-construction.  These are all previously available applications that have been tied together to make it quick and easy to go from one to the next.

SocialAddict ScreenshotWithin SocialAddict you’ll find:

  • BrightKite
  • Facebook
  • FriendFeed To Go
  • Hellotxt
  • Jaiku
  • MySpace
  • Ping.fm
  • Plurk
  • Pownce
  • SocialThing
  • and Twitter

Download SocialAddict 1.1

Requirements: Adobe Air & a social media account or five. All Free.

Have suggestions for other sites?  Let me know the iPhone/mobile version of the site and I’ll add it in.

Ok, I’ll be the first to admit, this is not as good as something like Twhirl. ;) However, it is my first attempt at anything in Adobe Air so I’m pretty happy.

I didn’t use the Plurk API and do a lot of crazy coding.  All I did was take the mobile version of Plurk and embed it into an Adobe Air application.  And voila; Plurkit!

I thought some might find this a bit enjoyable and I do have more ideas for it.  Actually, some crazy ones are going though my head this moment!

Give it a spin and see how it goes.
