Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
Access multiple social networking accounts all in one place with Yoono. This desktop application provides a dashboard where you can manage, interact with, and browse a handful of sites and IM platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and AIM. If you have multiple social and instant messaging accounts, Yoono provides a great way to use them all at once. With its organized user interface, alert system, and ability to turn into a fast browser, this application is a must-have for anyone who spends a lot of social Web time.
Yoono is easy to use, organized, and intuitive. In column view, all of your accounts are open side by side. Reply to friends, post pictures, and tweet all in one spot. Yoono is uncluttered; information is organized in respective tabs and columns. It loads fast and has smooth controls that do not stick. Panning over a picture will show it in a pop-up, with a green button that allows you to share the picture on the account of your choosing. The scroll bar in each column does not interfere with browsing, and scrolls with your scroll wheel. One of the best features of Yoono is the ability to create groups that you can view separate from your full friends list. The program will alert you whether someone from a particular group has updates, so you do not have to go hunting for them. You can choose to disable alerts that pop up at the bottom-right-hand corner of your desktop; or simply customize it to only show certain groups.
After the quick install, Yoono will open and various social networking icons will appear on the right side. Choose which accounts you would like to begin using on Yoono. Apart from AIM, Yoono also supports Yahoo messenger, Google Talk, and Live Messenger. To begin using an account, click on the respective icon and log in. You may also register with Yoono first; it claims that this is for added security and privacy. After logging in to an account like Facebook, for example, you can choose to view it in a "column" or in the "browser." The column view is useful when you are viewing more than one social account. If you want a traditional view, you can also go to the browser tab; just like the program itself, Yoono's browser is fast. Using the Facebook example, you will see that all of your friends are listed in a column. You can choose to view notifications, messages, and updates from the column's drop-down menu, or see each of these views in separate columns. If you want to view your Twitter account, for example, log in and you will see who you are following, and you'll have a choice to switch among other views. If you feel like getting a full view of the site, just click the browser tab. When you click on links, Yoono will automatically redirect you to this tab for a full view as well.
This compact application can save you some time spent clicking through windows and tabs. Yoono keeps track of your social and IM accounts in a streamlined view, eliminating hassle and clutter for users immersed in the social stream.

"Neat application"
Version: Yoono Desktop 1.8.32
Pros
Easy to install and set up the different accounts. Good that it has G-talk and Yahoo msgr inbuilt too. The options menu is decent and allows me different settings for individual apps.
For someone who's relied on Firefox's pinned tabs for social networking, I will be definitely trying this one for some more time, who knows might get used to it!!!!!
Memory use is almost equal to Firefox at times, which I keep open at all times, so not bad. CPU usage however is near to 0 and that makes me happy :)Cons
None so far.
Summary
For someone who's just uninstalled Tweetdeck go for this!!!!!!!

"Runs extremely well."
Version: Yoono Desktop 1.8.25

Cons
No gmail support
Summary
Love it.

"THE ONLY App That Supports Multiple FACEBOOK Accounts!!"
Version: Yoono Desktop 1.8.25
Pros
Supports multiple Twitter **AND** Facebook accounts :-)))))))))
Cons
The looks of the posting interface needs to be simplified & less redundant whereas users are ASSURED of posting only to select accounts (This is VITAL if you have an account where you just "Let yourself go" & another account which has followers who are either bound to be more easily offended by your post and/or an account where YOUR BOSS is a follower because IT IS YOUR WORK ACCOUNT !!!!!)
Summary
DO use BUT post a few test tweets first to get a feel for it & to know how it behaves (WAY better than LANDING ON THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE over something you posted to your work account)
-
"works well most of the times"
Version: Yoono Desktop 1.8.20
Pros

Cons
It does not really let you choose which social metworks to associate.
Tumblr and google+ still missingSummary
In spite of limitations, I use it all the time with FB

"Kind of primitive"
Version: Yoono Desktop 1.7.2
Pros
It supports the most popular IM clients.
Cons
As in my above "summary", its kind of primitive in function, with very limited features and options.
Summary
Very limited as a chat client, at least while in Beta mode for, e.g., Yahoo, MSN, and AIM. There doesn't even appear to be an invisible mode, as just one example, which makes it pretty much unusable for me.
-

Cons

Summary
Download this now and be updated always to your friends

Pros
