junky-screengrab.pngThere are few business social networking clients. LinkedIn is the closest, but that's just a directory of contact information and only if the people you want to connect to, bother to add you as a contact. If they don't, then you can't follow their news, updates or contact them directly for a business proposal. Skype is another alternative. However, Twitter is becoming popular as anyone can follow your thoughts or announcements. For business users, this could be used to put out some information about your company, a software release or similar update.

Blu is a new Twitter client
for the Windows platform that uses Microsoft .NET 3.5, so is only applicable for Vista and Windows 7 users. It's very well designed. Very much inspired by Mac software. However, as a result, it takes a huge amount of system resources. Worse, when installed on one of Vista machines, it led to a Windows blue screen of death, twice. That hardly ever happens on Vista, so it's rare to see it happen a couple of times.
