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. :)

 

Somewhat Frank is a *sweet* internet & technology blog. It's really nice for us to read a post in one of our favorite blogs, and we enjoyed his kind words. Here are some of them:

"Not only does 8hands aggregate your social networks, it also extends the functionality of these networks by offering the ability to IM your social network friends, and to share your online content with simple drag and drop functionality."

Besides that, Frank recommended on our desktop wallpapers, and anybody who likes to see our tiny octopus acting for the camera, is a friend.

StartupSquad.com wrote a very nice feedback about 8hands: "After spending hours blogging everyday, last thing I want to do is load my profile page on all the numerous social networks I am part of to check what is new...To start with, you need to understand that 8hands doesn’t try to replicate the social networking sites on your desktop. Instead it’s IM client like UI pulls up the list of 8 most active users in the IM window with whom you interacted within the last 4 weeks. So in effect, what you get is a very dynamic list based on the activity metric and not just a static good and great friend list...read the whole review

Make sure to check out Download.com and rate and add your own description about the 8hands application. we were very happy to find 8hands on the download.com HOMEPAGE and to read some of the users' reviews: "I don't have to remember the login details to all my sites (I'm a MySpace freak, as well as other social networks...). The best part is that I don't need the f5 button anymore since I get all the updates from 8hands. I also liked the fact that you can actually drag Flickr photos and YouTube videos directly to the IM screen. All in all, the product is very cool and I like the logo too."
