From what I can see 8hands is an aggregator of content from multiple social networking sites, you still need to manage your networks individually. Some people would say, just import your address book. Sure that works, but I don't see why I should have to. I want the tools to do it for me, the Linked In toolbar does (Plaxo Pulse does something similar, but I'm not posting about that yet as I'm still testing). Thanks Amy,

It is so valuable these days with all the social activity that's been going on.. But I don't think it'll suit me, simply because I don't like the fact my email account is mixing with my social networks.That's why for me, <a href="http://www.8hands.com" rel="nofollow">8hands</a> is the best tool. My email account is free from "Bacn"- I removed all email notifications ans I get them straight to the desktop instead. I’m happy for you that you managed to find a helpful tool.
