Desktop social networking client Sociagami has added two features that were noticeably absent from earlier builds: Twitter integration and support for updating your status from the application. When we first looked at Sociagami a few months ago, the software provided an attractive (but RAM-heavy) tool for interacting with your Facebook and MySpace contacts. You could see all of the latest status updaes in one place, navigate through your friend list in a slick browser, or view the latest photos uploaded by your contacts.

But without the ability to update your own status, Sociagami wasn't nearly as useful as other desktop social networking tools like Digsby. The latest version includes a handy status update tool that lets you post to Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter simultaneously. If you only want to update one service, just uncheck two of the boxes.

The new Twitter client works pretty much exactly as you'd expect. You get a list of recent messages from your contacts in one window, and you can sift through your contact list in the browser. One thing that sets Sociagami apart from Digsby is the fact that you can see all of your latest Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook messages in a single window.

But while Digsby already has a reputation as a RAM-heavy application, at least that utility also gives you email notification alerts and an instant messenger application, two features that Sociagami lacks. Still, we're happy to report that Sociagami continues to get a bit better with each release, so we're not ready to give up on this application just yet.

Tired of logging into Facebook and MySpace every day to find out which friend posted new photos, who wrote on your wall, or left you a message? Sociagami is a desktop application for Windows that will send you alerts whenever your friends update their profiles.

Sociagami offers a slick interface for browsing comments left on your MySpace or Facebok pages, approving friend requests, or responding to messages. You can also right-click on any friend to see their friends or photos. The Friend browser is pretty slick. You can click on any friend's photo to find more friends or look at their pictures. And you can zoom in and out or scroll around the screen to find more friends.

There are a few things that Sociagami doesn't do. For example, you can't update your Facebook status or see your friends' status updates. And you can't interact with Facebook applications. So if you're looking to play a game of Scrabulous, you're still going to have to login to your Facebook account.

Oh, and while Sociagami has half the features of social networking tool Digsby, it eats about twice the RAM. We found that Sociagami used up about 170MB of RAM after just a few minutes use.
