    For those nuts out there like us that use just about every social website there is, the upcoming version 2 of Alert Thingy’s AIR desktop application may be just what you need. The current version of the service supports Twitter, Flickr and Friendfeed. But version 2, which will be released this month, adds support for Digg, YouTube, Facebook, Jaiku, Pownce and Tumblr as well. Creator Jeremy Baines hasn’t let us test the new version yet, but he did send us the teaser screen shot below. Can’t wait to try it out.

    Alert Thingy 2.0 should be released sometime this month. Get the current version here.
