I’ve googled “Trillian for Social Networks” and found this post. Well … if you’re looking for an aggregate of social networks, Spokeo.com is it!

Spokeo combines all your friends from MySpace, LiveJournal, Friendster, Youtube, … all into one destination. Of course, it supports RSS/Atom feeds. UI-wise, Spokeo looks like a multi-media RSS reader. Technically however, it works more like Google News. Instead of news, Spokeo tracks millions of blogs, photos, and videos.

I am sure that there’s nothing else like Spokeo. I hope you find it useful, and we look forward to your feedback/review.

You can’t talk about LinkedIn without mentioning the LinkedIn Contacts Management tool.

This tool is a freeware to all MyLinkedInPowerForum members and LinkedIn users.

The tools give you the edge in using LinkedIn for business purposes. It downloads all your LinkedIn contacts details/requests/outstanding invitations to a personal database on your PC.

Then, with an easy to use GUI you can make smart selections and manipulations of the data and Email the selected group of contacts. You can do multi accept/reject of requests; you can resend multiple outstanding invitations or withdraw them and much more.

To download the LICM application:

Go to: http://www.megaas.co.nz
Select the Demos/Downloads page
Scroll down to the LinkedIn icon
Download the installation ZIP file.

Read the Readme file and register at the support forum:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MngLinkedIn/

Remember — there is a “payment” involved — you have to let at least 10 of your LinkedIn contacts know about the system.…

Alex,
this is the same reason I see for eBay having bought Skype. Presence. You’ll be able to say: I’ll buy this now. And intantly having a message from your online dealer.
Regards,
André

Alex,
I couldn’t agree more with you.
It’s about time the so-called “social” players opened-up to the reality of the social beings that we are; i.e. start mutually acknowledging the other circles of influence, if at all by recognizing that we have multiple identities and therefore multiple presenceS.
Sure, by doing so, they lower the defenses of their guarded silos — but they gain by playing the Metcalfe’s gain to the fullest…
When do we meet for coffee??
Best,
Yann.
PS: NetVestibule supports AIM presence and LinkedIn presence for a while now. We also have direct Flickr and Amazon linkage — again, acknowledging that users live in the eco-system at large and not in a bubble (that is meant to burst!).
