I was having an interesting conversation with my brother-in-law last night.  He’s very techie and whenever I have a technical question he’s who I turn to. Anyway, we were talking about social media and what kind of aggregator I use.  I was saying that I use HootSuite for Twitter and ping.fm for everything else.  He pulled out his netbook to show me digsby which is what he uses.  We agreed that people who say they waste too much time on social media are likely those people not using one of these applications and instead are updating Facebook separately from LinkedIn separate from Twitter. So the question is, what do you use and how much time do you spend updating your statuses?
