The use of social networking sites is a highly addictive hobby. If you are finding that you are spending way too much time on sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace then this program could be ideal for you. To put it simply, the main reason for using it is for making the way you use these applications a lot slicker and easier.

What it involves is a browser extension which gets added to your Internet Explorer and lets you use a simple interface to control all of your social networking.

As well as the sites mentioned above, Yoono also works with Flickr, YouTube, LinkedIn, FriendFollow and Foursquare as well as the chat sites as Yahoo Messenger, Window's Live Messenger, Google Talk and AIM.

The software gets added on to your browser as a side bar and receives feeds from all of the sites mentioned. The addition of some simple buttons such as a discovery option and a sharing option means that it is very simple to get started using this service. You get a real time stream from all of the sites you have chosen without having to log onto them individually and you can easily share images, videos and links from your browser.

The kinds of things which you can do includes updating your status on all of the social networking sites simultaneously, receiving notifications from any one of the integrated sites and chatting with users from the browser located interface.

The side bar can be easily hidden and then re-established, and the only real complaint which has been raised with the software is the difficulty in changing your list of included sites after the initial set up has been done. We are sure that this will be amended soon but in the meantime it is wise to make sure that you include all the sites you use when you set it up initially.
