Thank you Rotor Blog for your kind words about 8hands:

"I don’t know why we didn’t mentioned 8hands before because I must say it is must-have tool to anyone who is active member of different social networks. 8hands is a nice desktop application which allows you to receive latest updates and notifications from your online communities without visiting the site"

Stefanos Karagos digs 8hands and posted a short nice review about us on his Anabubula blog.

Amit Agarwal from the beloved Digital Inspiration blog reads Anabubula and after reading the post he downloaded 8hands, and decided to post even longer review about us.

Goldi from the 8hands Mega Team also reads the Digital Inspiration blog and decided to post the review here as well:

"If you maintain accounts on multiple social sites (say Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace), consider using 8hands - a small Windows software that monitors your social circle and will bring some peace to your otherwise chaotic online life.

With 8hands, you’ll instantly know (via desktop alerts) when friends upload new pictures on Flickr, or there’s a new comment on your Flickr photos, or when you have private messages on Facebook or new tweets on Twitter - no need to manually check profiles on all the different websites.

Now Flock too offers similar features but 8hands, a standalone app, has two main advantages:

1. 8hands will automatically guess your top friends with whom you communicate most frequently across all social networks - so it becomes all the more simple to reach them again.

2. 8hands maintains a complete history or log of all your friend’s activity. Very useful when you are looking for Facebook messages, Flickr photos and Twitter tweets ever published by a close friend.

8hands is in alpha but worth giving a try. It’s been running in my system tray for a few hours now and am loving the notifications"

Thanks for the inspiration, digital. :)

Our little purple octopus is all blushy now, because the great known and respected downloadsquad.com (that's us giving love back in an obvious and cute way) decided to give us some very kind words, calling 8hands an "Almost perfect desktop client for all your social networks" and emphasizing that "For a public alpha, 8hands is already a pretty darn good solution for anyone who spends all day logged into multiple social networking sites".

To them we say a huge whopping thank you! But let us assure you that we will not rest and we will not stop! We will only continue to make 8hands even better, because we believe that you all deserve a full solution for the mess that we like to call our online social life.

For now, all we can offer you is the current "almost perfect" alpha version. Download it here for free.

"I have not had to trawl through emails for notifications but have relied on 8hands instead. I only visit the sites when I know there is some action that I want to take."

A new supportive feedback from the guys over at Sueblimely on how 8hands helped them save time.

G4TV is not just one of the biggest tech broadcast networks, it's also one of our favorite places to visit when we are thirsty for some geeky television time. That's why we were so happy and honored to see a feature about 8hands in Attack of the Show. Yes – our cute fuzzy little octopus is slowly gaining his celebrity status!

We won't say much more. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words and a video is worth, like, a billion pictures, so we'll just let you watch the video. Respect.
