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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It will allow you to access and control all your torrent downloads performed on one Mac from the web. The application is easy to work with. Once you've got Transmission running and are downloading torrents, install the bundle. Open that up and choose to start both the Daemon and WebUI from the Clutch menu. You'll have to set up a username and password and note down the url with which you can access your client from any computer connected to the web.

Once Clutch is working and configured, it's really easy to access your Transmission client from anywhere. You'll be able to do the usual set of commands like pause and resume, open, filter, and even check the information for each torrent. Unfortunately, Clutch is only based on the features of Transmission 0.82, so it won't show all the cool new features you get in the latest version. The interface also looks a bit outdated.

Even though it's not based on the latest version of Transmission, Clutch is a very useful WebUI to control your Transmission from the web.

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. Information, including graphs, is presented in a sleek dark interface, which lets you focus on what matters most, the data.

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.

Movavi Flash Converter features a clean and simple interface which anyone can use. Choose from one of four buttons at the top of the interface, which allow you to add browse to Flash files, enter URLs, delete them, or preview them. At the foot of the interface is the all-important 'Convert' button, which also allows you to select a series of pre-configured formats such as AVI, MPEG4, iPods and Sony PSPs.

Unfortunately, you can't import several URLs at once. Movavi Flash Converter will only use the URL that's been cut to your clipboard. However, you can still perform batch conversions of files downloaded to your hard drive. Another problem you might find too is that some Flash video sites - such as those embedded into news sites - are not supported by Movavi Flash Converter.

Movavi Flash Converter is a solid choice for anyone that needs to download and convert Flash videos from the net.

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.

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.
