 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Stefanos Karagos digs 8hands and posted a short &lt;a href=&quot;http://anabubula.com/node/100&quot; title=&quot;http://anabubula.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;nice review&lt;/a&gt; about us on his &lt;a href=&quot;http://anabubula.com&quot; title=&quot;http://anabubula.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Anabubula&lt;/a&gt; blog.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Amit Agarwal from the beloved &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.labnol.org/&quot; title=&quot;Digital Inspiration&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Digital Inspiration&lt;/a&gt; blog reads &lt;a href=&quot;http://anabubula.com&quot; title=&quot;anabubula&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Anabubula&lt;/a&gt; and after reading &lt;a href=&quot;http://anabubula.com/node/100&quot; title=&quot;The post&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the post&lt;/a&gt; he downloaded &lt;a href=&quot;/download&quot; title=&quot;That&#039;s us!&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;8hands&lt;/a&gt;, and decided &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.labnol.org/software/download/check-flickr-twitter-facebook-automatically-with-8hands/2125/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;to post&lt;/a&gt; even longer review &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.8hands.com&quot; title=&quot;8hands&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;about us&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Goldi from the 8hands Mega Team also reads the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.labnol.org/&quot; title=&quot;Digital Inspiration&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Digital Inspiration&lt;/a&gt; blog and decided to post the review here as well:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/system/files/DI.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;anabubula.com&quot; title=&quot;anabubula.com&quot; height=&quot;164&quot; width=&quot;503&quot; /&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;related&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;If you maintain accounts on multiple social sites (say Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace), consider using 8hands - a small Windows software that monitors your social circle and will bring some peace to your otherwise chaotic online life.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;related&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;related&quot;&gt;
With 8hands, you’ll instantly know (via desktop alerts) when friends upload new pictures on Flickr, or there’s a new comment on your Flickr photos, or when you have private messages on Facebook or new tweets on Twitter - no need to manually check profiles on all the different websites.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;related&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;related&quot;&gt;
Now Flock too offers similar features but 8hands, a standalone app, has two main advantages:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;related&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;related&quot;&gt;
1. 8hands will automatically guess your top friends with whom you communicate most frequently across all social networks - so it becomes all the more simple to reach them again.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;related&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;related&quot;&gt;
2. 8hands maintains a complete history or log of all your friend’s activity. Very useful when you are looking for Facebook messages, Flickr photos and Twitter tweets ever published by a close friend.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;related&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8hands is in alpha but worth giving a try. It’s been running in my system tray for a few hours now and am loving the notifications&amp;quot; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Thanks for the inspiration, digital. :)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>downloadsquad.com declares 8hands as &quot;almost perfect&quot;!</title>
 <link>http://www.8hands.com/blog/items/downloadsquadcom-declares-8hands-almost-perfect</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Our little purple octopus is all blushy now, because the great known and respected &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.downloadsquad.com/&quot; title=&quot;Download Squad&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;downloadsquad.com&lt;/a&gt; (that&#039;s us giving love back in an obvious and cute way) decided &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/01/11/8hands-almost-perfect-desktop-client-for-all-your-social-networ&quot; title=&quot;8hands: Almost perfect desktop client for all your social networks&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;to give us some very kind words&lt;/a&gt;, calling 8hands an &amp;quot;Almost perfect desktop client for all your social networks&amp;quot; and emphasizing that &amp;quot;For a public alpha, 8hands is already a pretty darn good solution for anyone who spends all day logged into multiple social networking sites&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
To them we say a huge whopping thank you! But let us assure you that we will not rest and we will not stop! We will only continue to make 8hands even better, because we believe that you all deserve a full solution for the mess that we like to call our online social life. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
For now, all we can offer you is the current &amp;quot;almost perfect&amp;quot; alpha version. &lt;a href=&quot;/download&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Download it &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/download&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/download&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; for free&lt;/a&gt;. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/01/11/8hands-almost-perfect-desktop-client-for-all-your-social-networ&quot; title=&quot;8hands: Almost perfect desktop client for all your social networks&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/system/files/dsp.jpg&quot; height=&quot;321&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

 <title>8hands is getting some public attention! Respect yo!</title>
 <link>http://www.8hands.com/blog/items/8hands-getting-some-public-attention-respect-yo</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;For those of you who are not following our &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;/media&quot; title=&quot;8hands media page&quot;&gt;media&lt;/a&gt; section very carefully, here’s a sniff shots of the recent blogs and websites that already installed &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;/download&quot; title=&quot;Download 8hands!&quot;&gt;8hands&lt;/a&gt; and were kind enough to tell the world about it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;The buzz about 8hands has really got us by surprise, and not because we don’t think 8hands is the best thing happened to &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html&quot; title=&quot;What is web 2.0?&quot;&gt;web 2.0&lt;/a&gt; since tags, but because we are still on Alpha and still working hard to get all of the cutting-edge features that will make 8hands the finest application we&#039;ve all been dreaming of. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;So, just yesterday &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.deborahschultz.com/&quot; title=&quot;Deborah Schultz&#039;s blog&quot;&gt;Deborah Schultz&lt;/a&gt;, the marketing director of &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.sixapart.com/&quot; title=&quot;Six Apart&quot;&gt;six apart&lt;/a&gt;, posted an &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.deborahschultz.com/deblog/2007/05/continuous_part.html&quot; title=&quot;Deborah Schultz talks about 8hands &quot;&gt;interesting post&lt;/a&gt; about a new term “Continuous Partial Attention” that basically talks about how “We manage our time. We don&#039;t manage our attention” (you can read more about this interesting theory &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://continuouspartialattention.jot.com/WikiHome&quot; title=&quot;Linda Stone&#039;s Thoughts&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) and how 8hands helps you make your time spending on social networks to become more efficiently. We totally agree with Schultz about the necessity of a Mac version for 8hands and we swear by the octopus’ gods we want it even more! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;Prior to Deborah’s post we were on the &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.download.com/&quot; title=&quot;Download.com&quot;&gt;Download.com&lt;/a&gt; homepage! Probably the biggest site for downloadable application. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.download.com/8hands/3000-12941_4-10673702.html?tag=lst-0-1&quot; title=&quot;Download 8hands from Download.com&quot;&gt;Here’s the link&lt;/a&gt; to download 8hands from their site. You can even add your user review about 8hands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;And then we had the lovely &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.somewhatfrank.com/2007/05/8hands.html&quot; title=&quot;The Lovely somewhat Frank&quot;&gt;somewhat frank&lt;/a&gt; to write about us, and off course &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://mashable.com/2007/04/21/8hands/&quot; title=&quot;Mashable about 8hands&quot;&gt;Mashable!&lt;/a&gt; And many &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.killerstartups.com/WebAppTools/8hands--Its-your-Social-Life/&quot; title=&quot;Killer Startups&quot;&gt;others&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;normal&quot;&gt;Finally, don&#039;t forget you can &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/8hands&quot; title=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/8hands&quot;&gt;subscribe&lt;/a&gt; to the 8hands blog and get all the latest news about our application. Obviously the easiest way of keep you updated with our latest news is to add the RSS feed straight into your 8hands tool! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
