The Frugal Social Network

Do you Twitter? Perhaps you Jaiku about writing your Facebook page while maintaining your Myspace, Pownce, Tumblr, Hulu, Friendster, Flickr and other numerous social networking accounts.

Do you feel lonely without a day full of reading tweets and posts by your ever growing list of online friends? It can be hard sometimes to try to keep up with the social network to which you have set yourself. Many people, including some notable technologists find productivity can be hampered by constantly updating your Twitter, and blogging about the goings on in your organization or schedule. You can easily find yourself having to schedule updating your schedule in order to avoid hampering your other tasks.

Services like Profile LinkerSnix, and the Open Social projects allow users to control multiple social networks with one single application. These appear on the surface to be quite interesting and worth taking a look at. I know Google has been pushing Open Social pretty hard lately, hoping to create something of an industry standard out of the project. I for one quite enjoy the idea of a standard API across a majority of the social networks. If you’re interested in the topic, keep an eye on Google’s Open Social.
