Forget the telephone or email, we now seem to demand to know what are friends are doing from one day to the next. No idea why, but people do not seem to value anonymity with their social network. There's a need to show their friends the photos from their night out. Fine if you're 19; not so mature when you're 29. Still, social networking is very popular. So popular that it's almost impossible to bring all your friends and family together within one network.

Eventbox is a beta preview of a Mac-based tool that enables you to bring together various social networking sites within one interface. You can see the latest gossip from your friends through Facebook, whilst viewing their latest photos via their Flickr stream.
