All the Social Networks, Together on Your Smartphone

For most people, a quick glance at Facebook, Twitter or MySpace is enough to get up to speed on one's social circle. So why would you need to haul yourself to a computer just to do that? You don't. As long as you've got the right phone. Cellular networks, in their endless quest to make the phone the center of the information-gathering universe, are making it easier to retrieve updates from online social networks. And some are going to the extreme of bundling all the big sites on one screen, as if to create one giant social hub.
