One option is simply to unsubscribe from these services &#8211; any addiction can be kicked, after all. Thankfully, there are other ways to manage the services more effectively than keeping constant tabs on websites.<\/p>\n<p>One is an open-source Web browser called Flock, built on Mozilla Firefox, which integrates social networking services into the browser window.<\/p>\n<p>Another, which I like, is a new, free instant messaging (IM) and social networking tool called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digsby.com\" target=\"_blank\">Digsby<\/a>. Only available on Windows for now &#8211; Mac and Linux versions are coming &#8211; Digsby connects to a wide range of IM services, from Google Talk to MSN Messenger.<\/p>\n<p>There are, of course, other IM apps that do this &#8211; Pidgin is a good example. Digsby&#8217;s real power is its integration with services such as social networking sites Facebook and MySpace and micro blogging tool Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Your Twitter feed &#8211; the list of messages, or &quot;tweets&quot; from the people you follow in the service &#8211; is easily accessible and it&#8217;s just as simple to tweet, all without the need to visit twitter.com.<\/p>\n<p>The program also offers integration with a range of popular e-mail services, making it easy to check your e-mail quickly across multiple inboxes.<\/p>\n<p>Digsby helps you stay in touch with your social networks and other information sources but takes out a lot of the PT.
