I’ve used all of the G1 apps and used TweetDeck and various other clients on my computers, but I’ve just switched to Digsby which consolidates Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Gmail, my corporate email, and all of my chat clients into one easy interface. It’s save me a lot of time and memory….

@Troyce, You can simultaneously update Facebook and Twitter as well as a flash widget for your MySpace or blog via Loopt on your phone. Here’s an example of a user who used Loopt to update his Twitter, Facebook and blog while he was at the inauguration. http://www.looptblog.com/2009/01/the-inaugural-experience-online.html

I’m on the main ones and being ignored on them all, despite commenting, posting and requesting. So much for interaction.

Anyone know of one?

It’s all the same crap anywhere when you talk “online services.” None of them, chat, twitter, documents (google docs, office live),what have you, really let you interact with people outside their network. So much for choice, because in the end, you need to be in every network anyway.

With all these so-called social networks I wondered if it was actually helping you being social, or helping you being NOT social, given that all these networks have their own little space, and do little to nothing to expand that space.

It would be great if these social networks would open up a little, and allow you to use them even if you’re not part of their network, while still being able to keep in touch with your ‘old’ network(s). It shouldn’t be too hard for sites like facebook, linkedin and god-knows what other site to allow kind-of like a cross-link between them. It would only help them boost the user base..

I’m using Twitter on a daily basis for my random talks about nothingness, and although I have linkedin and facebook accounts, I rarely visit said sites. It’s just too much for me to have to remember all these places where I’m supposed to be social. I can barely remember to water my plants! :)

This from an internet addict. Takes one to know one, you see.

Turns out the best social network for me is the one where people respond to my postings.

On Facebook, I’ve installed the Twitter app to pull my status updates into facebook status. And I use twhirl to keep track of twitter and friendfeed updates (the beta also passes status updates to ping.fm). Now if only twhirl had a view on facebook.

I’m sticking with Twitter and for daily communication. And I wish Facebook and Linked in would merge or at least Facebook could let me export my contacts:
