If you’re looking for the perfect Twitter client, take a look at Twitterrific. It’s a really nice little app, with clean, fresh lines that make it very easy to view and manage your tweets. View options and trends are listed down the left side, while the timeline, Mentions, Messages and Favorites are displayed in the main part.

Clicking on the little settings symbol in an individual tweet will give you access to the options you have, for example, replying, marking as a favorite, translating the tweet and even emailing it. There’s also a quick reply option. In the top bar, you’ll be able to refresh your timeline, view your profile and compose your own 140-character masterpieces.

Although not overflowing with options, Twitterrific has some interesting settings. There are a few skins for the app, trend display is toggleable and there is a great selection of picture and video upload options. Twitterrific also supports CloudApp and Instapaper.

For many users, Twitterrific’s big downfall is the fact that the free, ad-supported version doesn’t allow multiple user accounts. If this isn’t an issue for you, however, it’s a simple but functional twitter client that’s just perfect for many users’ needs.

Twitterrific’s simple and slick, and as long as you don’t need very advanced settings, it’s a great Twitter client.

If you've ever wanted to have copies of all the photos people tag of you on Facebook, you can download them one by one from the web site, or use an app like Photograbber. This is a standalone app, meaning you don't have to install it, which is good news. Getting photos is easy - first click login, which opens your browser, then once you are logged in you receive a code, which you have to paste into Photograbber.

Next you can choose anyone from your friends list, or yourself, and then Photograbber will search for and download every picture tagged of that person and put it in the folder of your choice. You can also choose to download complete albums you feature in, albums uploaded by that user, and the comment and tagging information as well. Photograbber has the same permissions as you, so it can only download images you can view yourself! Photos are left in separate folders, names after the photo album they were taken from.

Once finished the app will close. Photograbber is a simple Facebook photo downloader, but it works well. It could be improved if you could select multiple users to download, and being able to download all images to a single folder might be preferable for some people.

Photograbber is a quick and painless way of downloading tagged photos of you or your friends on Facebook.

At installation (or in Preferences later) you can choose to have Facebook Notifications startup with your Mac, and all you'll see is a tiny blue 'F' on the status bar. Clicking this opens a drop down menu that shows your most recent notifications and messages.

There are also options to see your news feed, profile, compose a message and update your status. All but the last option will open your browser though - you can only write status updates, and even that doesn't include the enriched sharing features of the browser Facebook page.

To run Facebook Notifications properly, you have to have Growl installed, although as that's a more or less essential Mac installation that's not a problem!

Great for Facebook addicts, FaceBook Notifications means you'll never miss your friend's news while you're Mac's turned on.

If you are used to a client like Echofon or TweetDeck, your first impression of Buzzbird might be that it looks a little basic. Don't let appearances deceive you, however, because behind the main interface are a host of options, including support for multiple accounts and a built-in URL shortener.

Buzzbird offers all the usual Twitter client options, like posting, retweeting, direct messaging and marking as favorites. It's very easy to view your tweets, and the program also displays profiles without having to open a web browser. With Buzzbird, you'll also be able to view mentions and direct messages.

Buzzbird for Mac also offers great configuration options, allowing you to hide certain services in your Timeline, use a proxy server and even enable visual notifications - as long as you have Growl installed, that it.

Clunky feel aside, Buzzbird is a great new Twitter client.

Google+ for Mac requires Google Chrome and uses the web interface of Google+ to allow easier access from your Mac. The developer emphasizes that Google+ for Mac is a temporary solution until he can create a native desktop app. Note it is not based on a Google+ API - it is just a ported browser.

Google+ for Mac doesn't therefore do anything revolutionary. In fact, it merely puts an icon in your Dock that when clicked, opens your Google+ profile in Chrome. Navigating to external sites is impossible because clicking on them leads you nowhere.

You can also achieve much of the same effect as Google+ for Mac with Fluid.app but the developer promises Google+ for Mac will go far beyond what you can achieve with Fluid in the near future.

Google+ for Mac is for all those Google+ addicts that want instant access of Google+ from their dock.

EventBox has been designed so that you can combine web applications like Facebook, Flickr or Twitter into one convenient application. At the moment, it supports all the major sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Reddit and it also includes an RSS reader for all your feeds as a bonus. The EventBox interface is incredibly slick and elegant using every ounce of your Mac's graphic capabilities to produce some stunning effects.

The program supports Growl alerts, audio alerts and dock alerts to notify you when you've received a new message on one of the sites. This is especially useful for viewing new photos that have been posted as EventBox allows you to view them, whichever application they've been posted to, without leaving the program.

EventBox is an elegant, if slightly over the top application, which brings together the best of social networking sites. Just don't expect to get any work done if you receive lots of alerts daily.

There can be few better tools for posting and tracking items on eBay than GarageSale either. It's beautifully presented, easy to use, and brings all of your bids and items under one convenient umbrella. It's certainly preferable to the time consuming process of posting things via eBay itself.

Since it's been designed specifically for Mac, GarageSale features integration with iPhoto, meaning you can post pictures of items instantly. I'd like to have seen Picasa support as well but hopefully that will be added in future releases.

GarageSale offers WYSIWYG text editing, free image hosting and comes with more than 130 free auction templates, as well as support for PayPal, Twitter and eBay Stores. The result is that you'll end up presenting more professional eBay ads and thus have a greater chance of selling your stuff.

The WYSIWYG interface reminds me of iWeb, and creating an ad does feel like creating a web page. You can even edit and retouch images within GarageSale, although the editing tool is quite limited. The easy-to-use scheduler allows you to follow bids and auctions that you're involved in. It would have been nice if this integrated with iCal since you have no way of monitoring auctions unless you've got GarageSale open.

Overall though, GarageSale is a superb application. It's the kind of tool that makes posting and tracking items on eBay almost as much fun as the purchase itself.

Dashalytics shows all the relevant information that you'd like to view from your Google Analytics account and you can navigate between sections thanks to the back and forward arrows at the bottom of the widget.

By refreshing you'll be able to keep the information up to date with what's being shown on your Google Analytics account. Make sure you do that when switching between different accounts, otherwise you might not see the latest info. Passwords saved in Dashalytics will also be saved automatically in your Keychain.

Anybody using Google Analytics and working with a Mac should have this widget set up. Light and sleek, it will give you quick access to all your data, without having to open your browser.

The eBay website itself is easy to browse, yet using iSale you can control your auctions even more easily straight from your desktop. Fitted with a simple interface, displays all the auction information including screenshot, description and specifications. You can use the research assistant to find information from the web or other programs.

iSale includes a template editor, with a wide range of templates to choose from to create your auction page. Although many of them are quite similar, you can still customize a template to your own liking.

Thanks to its simple GUI, iSales makes it easy to organize all your auctions. You can create multiple auction libraries in the same way as you'd create smart playlist in iTunes. iSale can also store auctions in different categories.

Facebook users will be glad to know that this latest outing can now inform your friends on the social network about update auctions. Anyways, information in iSale is updated in real time, as long you're connected to the web.

To be honest, the only thing that really bothered us in iSale is the price. $40 dollars may be just a little too much for anyone to pay for an auction management program. Then again, if you make good money out of your sales....

Despite being a little expensive, iSale is a good auction management program with a nice UI, smart lists and custom auction page creation.

FMenu works as a drop down menu, which reveals all the latest notifications from your Facebook account. These can be updates, statuses, notes, groups, wall posts, friend requests or photos. You decide which ones you wish to be notified about. FMenu is very quick and will scan Facebook more or less every 35 seconds. You should also make sure that you have Growl installed so you can receive timely pop-up notifications.

While FMenu is very stable under Tiger, many Leopard users have complained that the application crashes regularly in Apple's new OS. Let's hope developers will soon release a more stable version. FMenu also suffers from two little glitches. If your Mac goes to sleep and FMenu is on, it'll flood you with notifications as soon as you turn your Mac back on. Then again that's just the application doing its job. Also, if you remove a friend in Facebook and FMenu is working, it will notify you that his profile is changed instead of removed.

Despite these two little issues, FMenu is a great little tool to receive to-the-minute notifications from Facebook from your menu bar. Let's just hope a stable Leopard version is released soon.

When you install Minitube, all you have is a desktop client with a large search box. Type in your search term and Minitube will suggest some predictions for you to try. Results are returned instantly and you can view videos normally as you would in YouTube.

There's not much more to it than that though. There's no way to view comments and there's no way to download clips which would have been a welcome add-on to the interface. The idea is to create a more TV like experience but YouTube is different to TV and you cannot help but feel is takes away functionality from the site. I also experienced frequent freezing and hanging while watching videos.

If you don't have access to a web browser or just want to watch YouTube videos without all the extras, Minitube might be just for you.

Because it's WYSIWYG, its easy to use and because its just been developed, it conforms fully with the latest W3C Standards including HTML 5, CSS 2.1 and large parts of CSS 3, CSS Mdia Queries, MathML, SVG etc. The fact that it uses the same rendering engine as Firefox means that its particularly good for designing websites for Firefox users.

The project you edit will look exactly the same in Firefox 4 as it does while you're working on it. If you're an advanced coder, you can switch to Source View mode to hard-code your page so there's something for beginners and experts in BlueGriffon.

BlueGriffon is very impressive although its still very much a work in progress. There's very little in the way of help documentation so using it is a case of trial and error. However, the WYSIWYG interface makes it easy enough to feel your way around. Although BlueGriffon is free to use, it can be extended with add-ons, although some of these aren't free and working out how to add them onto BlueGriffon is a bit tricky.

BlueGriffon is an very impressive up and coming free WYSIWYG website editor which may prove a very solid alternative to commercial options.

Auction Hunter allows you to monitor auctions that you are interested in bidding on or that you would like to simply observe. Not only that, but it can actually do your bidding for you (based on parameters defined by you of course!) It can be timed so that it only launches bids at the very last second in order to get the last bid, although this can't be guaranteed to win you an auction.

The advantage of this, of course, is that by quietly monitoring the auction you don't start a bidding war to escalate the price. Auction Hunter simply kicks-in at the last possible moment. A red line under an auction means that that the auction received no bids or that reserve price is not met, while a black line means that the auction will sell, but not to you and a green line says that you are the highest bidder.

Auction Hunter is not a 100% reliable way to win your eBay auctions but it's a great way to keep up with the latest bidding.

Rank Tracker allows you track up to 392 search engines and monitor an unlimited number of keywords. You can use its keyword suggestion methods to discover keywords you've been missing and that could increase your ranking. You can also keep history records of your ranking to help you see how well you've been ranking over a specific period of time. You can then display these results in graphical format.

Rank Tracker promises a lot although in reality, it's not much different to any other SEO tool. The fact that is can monitor up to 392 search engines is not much of a selling point since the vast majority of your users will be coming from Google anyway.

If you've tried other methods and are desperate for traffic, then Rank Tracker is worth a try but don't expect miracles.

RAGE Domainer simplifies your work, as it can automatically import the information you want on any domain name.

RAGE Domainer also lets you know when a domain name is added to a social network like del.icio.us.

RAGE Domainer is an excellent desktop solution to manage and monitor domain names.

Twhirl actually supports not only Twitter but also Friendfeed, identi.ca and seesmic. It can connect to multiple accounts at the same time in much the same way as Adium can as an IM client. Notifications on new messages are delivered to your desktop, you can cross-post twitter updates to Pownce and Jaiku, post images to TwitPic and search tweets using Twitter Search and TweetScan.

To get started, you'll obviously need to download Adobe AIR first. Setting up your various accounts is easy as your taken through the process via a wizard. The problem is that once you're up and running, you may notice that some of the fonts aren't rendered very well in Mac OS. The reason is that while Twhirl uses system fonts installed on your computer to display tweets, the Flash-based rendering of system fonts on OSX can ruin them although the developers say that the Verdana font at 12pt works best.

Twhirl is a useful micro blogging desktop app for those that are members of Twitter, Pownce, identi.ca and seesmic.

The program will give you notifications for pokes, wall posts, invitations, updates and groups, and even list all upcoming events with their date.

Amigo works with Growl so notifications can pop up discreetly on your screen to let you know what's going on in your Facebook world. You can also set different audio alerts for each notification.

Instead you can use the integrated search, which works fairly well. Clicking on a friend will not bring you to their profile page yet but instead will display their picture and quick access to their wall, profile, photos and more.

You can also send a message or poke them from there.

The real drawback to the program may be its price though. $20 dollars is a little expensive for just letting you get notifications.
