There are all sorts of social networks out there and they all serve different purposes, from socializing with friends to posting on business-related topics. Monitoring the activity on all social networks can be difficult, due to all the opened tabs on a web browser. This is where sobees comes in. It gathers new posts, as well as old ones, from various social medias and it displays them in a central location. Instead of opening a large number of tabs on your web browser, you can see what is happening on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn on a single window.

The application is offered free of charge and it can be used on Windows PCs, as well as iPads. The setup file is only 416, but the setup wizard will download about 15 MB of data. Installing sobees is a quick procedure and it takes a single click to start it. If you opt for the PC version, you can use the application on Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, if your .NET Framework is up to date.

The simple and efficient layout of the user interface makes it quite easy to manage multiple social networks. The application's interface is blank by default, but if you connect it to one or more social networks, it will display all new and old posts, messages and other contents, from these networks, in separate columns. You can click and drag the columns, if you wish to view the networks in a different order. It is also possible to choose between different column layouts.

Besides scrolling through posts from other users, you can select a few options, on the left side of a network's column, to post your own messages, view received messages and replies and more. Additionally, you can update your status on multiple networks at once. New accounts can be defined on a small window. All you have to do is select a network, log into your account and allow the application to connect to the selected service. You can add Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts, as well as special searches, for specific topics on Twitter.

A few configurations can be made for individual social networks. The options can be displayed in a network's column. You can set sobees to automatically refresh the home, messages or other sections, add words to a spam list, to block unwanted posts and more. Global settings can be made on a different window. The application allows you to remove connected accounts or disable their notifications, create shorter URLs for certain services and more.

Pros

You can manage several social networks on a single interface. The application displays recent posts and it allows you to post or send your own messages, view favorite items and more. It is also possible to follow specific topics on Twitter, on the same user interface.

Cons

There are no functionality gaps that need to be addressed. Thanks to the straight forward and efficient functionality of sobees, posting and following topics on multiple social networks can be done as fast and easy as possible.
