Social Networking Battle

I thought I would keep this week a little light-hearted winding down 2008. Yes, it seems like Social Networking has become a war of sites. Each has their place. I wish this had some of your business Social Networks in it like Linkedin & Plaxo. It does seems like all these sites are getting to become overwhelming, but can YOU really click the Shutdown icon?

Vlingo: Voice Update your Social Networks w Phone & More

While this video shows the Vlingo application for iPhone, it is available fo Blackberry & various other devices. Currently, it is only able to update Facebook and Titter for Social Networks via voice command. I expect Vlingo to expand this to additional Social Networks but in the meantime its still a pretty nice app and will make it a little safer for folks updating on the road because we never text update while we drive . It will even do voice cammands for Google searches, map directions and much more.
