Here at Speak For Yourself, we recently shared that the proper AP style abbreviation for electronic mail is now email, not e-mail. This got me thinking about what other changes have happened in our technology.

Currently I am investigating HootSuite and TweetDeck. These are both social media options that allow multiple social networking sites to be accessed from one website or homepage. In trying to grasp Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., these sites are supposed to make things easier.

So, are combined social networking sites actually making things easier or is adding a compacted website for these media just an excuse for one more username and way to track your friends? In the next few blogs, I will delve a bit deeper into what these sites are all about, what they set out to do, and whether or not they’re actually accomplishing their mission.

If YOU have any suggestions or questions about sites that I should investigate, be sure to comment here!
