Posty: Adobe AIR client for Twitter, FriendFeed, Pownce, Jaiku, Tumblr

There’s no shortage of desktop clients for Twitter and FriendFeed. But Posty goes a few steps beyond popular clients like Twhirl and Alert Thingy by adding support for Jaiku and Tumblr as well as Pownce.
Posty’s main window features a list of supported services with check boxes next to each. Just enter a status update and select the networks you want to send the update out to, and you can post simultaneously to all 5 places. You can also choose the individual tab for each service to see current updates from your contacts or from the public timelines if they’re available. You can also respond to comments or send direct messages directly from Posty.
One of the only complaints we’d with Posty is that while the window is resizable, it starts out at 550 pixels wide and there’s no way to make it smaller. Larger, yes. But smaller? Not so much. So it takes up a fair bit of screne real estate.
Like most applications built on Adobe AIR, Posty is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
