Social networking

In this week's edition of My Android Life I am going to take a few minutes to review something we all use....... social networks on our phones. First go to your localUS Cellular store, and choose your favorite Android powered phone.
 Ok the first and most obvious is the Facebook for Android, this is the "official" app for Facebook, and in my opinion it is the worst. With the latest update, they have added a camera app which links directly to FB and looks almost exactly like the stock camera app on your Android phone. Also with this app you don't have the ability to "favorite" pages, but it is handy to get to your groups.
  The next is Friendcaster for Facebook. This is my app of choice for Facebook. With it you can star your favorite pages, and have a separate page for your groups.
  Fast for Facebook is a new app which is in beta and I haven't really tested this one yet, but feel free to give it a try and review it.
  All of the above Facebook apps work with Facebook Messenger, and Friendcaster comes with its own version of Facebook chat, so check them out.
  Seesmic is a combination of Facebook client with a Twitter client built in. This is a really nice social network app but the paid version is needed to get around all of the ads.
  And then there is always the mobile site for the ones who don't want an app.
  Now on to the Twitter apps. Twitter is the "official" app for twitter and again it is my least favorite, but it is easy app to use for the beginner "tweeter".
  TweetCaster is my favorite twitter app, it is another combination app which will let you combine your social networks in one app which also has some nice analytics built in.
  UberSocial (formerly Twitdroid) is another top notch full featured twitter client.
  Then we come to my favorite social network app of all, Google Plus. This social network is Google's entry into the world of social networks. It includes a messenger add on which will allow you to have "hangouts" with others who are currently on G+, (this is basically a video chat with multiple people).

This is not a complete list by any stretch of the imagination! There is 4square, Pinearest, Linkedin, and countless others so choose your favorite and socialize!

As always if you have questions, post them in the comments section or message me in G+!
