HOW MANY SOCIAL NETWORK SITES DO YOU NEED?

And these followup questions:

How many do you have and use?

How much of this is secretly for business purposes or for just being social?

Thanks!

It has a more OSX-y interface than Tweetie, but Tweetie is rock solid, continually improving and building in hooks to a lot of third party services.

I use the free edition and find the ads to be pretty unobtrusive.

We are working hard to improve the beta as quickly as possible, including some of items you mentioned. We will soon be launching a community-based feedback tool; in the meantime, users can log their feedback here: http://bit.ly/1xwrU. We appreciate any and all feedback. If you would like a personal demo of the service, please just let us know.

Thanks again!
Erik, from the VoxOx Communications Team

It organizes and archives all of your conversations on Twitter, Facebook, email, and IM, and it consolidates all of your contacts different social networking profiles to make it easier to keep track of everyone.

For Twitter management, I do like Mixero. It’s an Adobe Air-based desktop client with a lot of really nifty features.

My apologies if that was less than clear.
