Spyder is a social network browser that runs on Macs (sorry, no PC version, how often do you hear that?).
Spyder makes it easy to keep in touch with your friends or fan-base by message or comment. Add as many friends as you want, Spyder allows you to send friend requests too. Organize your friends or other users the way you want. Use the friends view to quickly scan for users by picture if your better at faces not names. Spyder also helps you manage all your accounts, whether you have just a personal account or an additional band or business account you can easily switch between your different accounts in Spyder. And for people that remember faces better than names Spyder downloads users pictures automatically.
It’s first generation and needs a lot more features to be truly useful, but it’s the cleanest implementation of an online profile management I’ve seen so far. These types of apps are going to become more prevalent as social nets continue to splinter into micro-niches and your “about me” essay propogates to 5,10 or 20 dating and social networks, not to mention Youtube, LinkedIn and so forth. No way anyone is going to pay $25 for it though, better off ad-supported. Band and brand managers may find this the most useful in the meantime.
