Being online is an absolute necessity for some. For business reasons, we have to make sure that we get the latest news and updates from our clients or employees as soon as possible. For personal reasons, we can also update our friends and family on whereever we are and what we’re planning to do. It’s a total interaction between you and your friends or colleagues. If they are also online in any way, they can also tell you what they are up to.
There are actually softwares that can do that. “Web Presence” softwares basically integrate instant messenger, social bookmarks and social networking all in one software. Here are some of the sites that offer such software programs for free.
Twitter – As one of the leaders in their industry, Twitter has become a fad for most techies as they share their daily lives online. Twitter can be used in your computer or in your mobile phone. With their free service, you can update the world with what you’re doing, thinking, writing…anything at all. If you check their official website, you’ll be able to see the latest updates of some of the users. After installing the software and signing up for free, you can search for users and groups you can join in. There are add-ons that you can try with the software for better web experience. The mobile version of the software is also impressive as people will be able to update their network of friends and groups.
Jaiku – It works just like Twitter with a little twist. Once you logged in to Jaiku, it’s quite a similar website that you can associate with Twitter. However, it does seem to work faster compared to Twitter. Jaiku can also work with most of high end cellphones. You can either download their online version or you can even add Jaiku as a native software because of their Java client. One impressive feature of Jaiku is its ability to update not only what you think or the files that you want to share, but also your current location. As a great add-on, it works like Google Maps, but instead of address lookup, you’ll be able to see the updates they posted to their account. Although you will not be able to zoom in just where they are located, the feature is still impressive.
Pownce – Users of this program is still limited. Without any invitation from other users, you might not be able to use the software for now. But once it’s available for public use, it sure is going to be an impressive program. Using Adobe’s AIR technology, you can send updates anytime from your computer or mobile phone. AIR technology features Ajax coding technique, which means the program can still work fast even though the bandwidth of a mobile phone or computer is low. It’s almost the same as the previously mentioned two, and it should come in very handy once you get your hands on this software.
