Have you been bitten by the social media bug? Do you update your Twitter and FaceBook account everyday? So many people now engage and converse real time via social media. Some people like the convenience of being able to use applications that can make their online life more effective and more fun. Others like to use them because they prefer to communicate efficiently and not miss out on any important conversations and connections.
Now that there are so many different social networking platforms that we all use, newbies or beginners often wonder how others who are more experienced have adapted so easily and how they handle their status updates, tweets, link sharing etc… We at Bit Rebels understand that need and have compiled a list of 6 popular applications that can help you. We hope they will be tools that enable you to enjoy more and worry less. With our ever busy schedules, it’s nice to know that there are tools that allow us to work productively and enjoy our social addictions at the same time.
