Saw this one over at FriendFeed Watch: the first desktop client for FriendFeed was released! I was looking forward to this, as FriendFeed is such a nice and well implemented idea that justs begs to become a permanent resident of my system tray, rather than having to keep a browser tab permanently open to check on it. The client is called bTittleTattle (yea, don’t ask), and it was made by the guys at Sobees. It is based on the Windows Presentation Foundation so, unfortunately, Windows only forever :( Check out the video below to see what it looks like.
I basically didn’t like it at all, and that seems to be the same opinion over at FriendFeedWatch. I guess we’ll just have to wait until the rumoured Air client get released. Its future website still shows a “Under construction” page.
[UPDATE]: Less than twelve hours after my post, there is a new version out. In this new version, I found three different themes, which I must say I did not see in the original version, so I’m not sure if they were already there or not. And now, we can get rid if the bee! With a different theme, the app becomes much more usable, the only important thing still missing is minimize to tray. Take a look at the grey theme in the screenshot. And François, thanks for your attention 
Thanks for the review. Minimize button is the one on the left, with the sign V. Regarding the bee, it’s just in the bee skin. If you choose one of the other skins, there is no such animation. We wanted to use the bee like a symbol for the application. But I agree it’s too much just to explain basic menus. We will add a setting to disable the bee animation.
Hi Francois, thanks for dropping in.
I noticed that you already have a new version out, and there are three different themes available, two of them without the bee, which is great. The grey one is perfect for my taste, so I’m using it from now on.
I found the minimize button, but it doesn’t minimize to the system tray, only to the task bar - this would be a very important feature for me.
I will update the post to mention the different themes, as that was really the biggest issue I had with your app. Now we just need the minimize to tray
