I get notifications from my business and personal emails, twitter DMs and everything I need. Also I can use gmail chat from both gmail addresses at the same time! (no sign out, sign in). Also I want to to friendfeed as the second one Wishes, Jade __________________ VA for VAs www.jadesvirtualoffice.com

I am still working out some kinks to avoid double posting. My favorite is ping.fm. I can update my LinkedIn, Twitter and FB status all at once. Very efficient! __________________ Taryn Merrick, Eco Virtual Assistant on the Mac Platform www.merrickmgt.com
