I took some time during the long weekend to test out a few tools. Being a social networker I want something that is going to make my life easier, so here are the two tools out of the several that I tried that I have kept.
www.digsby.com is a desktop application keeping you up to date with your social networks and who’s online. I've put my msn/yahoo/facebook chat into its widget and you just chat with everyone through it. I also put in my www.linkedin.com, www.twitter.com and www.facebook.com information in and now it keeps me up to date. I have auto-loaded this so everytime I open my laptop, it signs in. Also, I added a little chat widget to my personal blog www.worklifeballs.weebly.com so people can chat to me if they want.
www.ping.fm is an online application where you can update your social networks at once. I've added my www.linkedin.com, www.twitter.com, www.facebook.com and www.plaxo.com networks and now all I have to do is enter my update into ping.fm and it feeds out to these networks.
