I’m concerned that although there is a certain demand for the masses to have an all-in-one/ everything client, the functionality does not reflect the the potential when pulling in these various networks. What happened to do one thing well? At an Enterprise-level there just cannot be the same offerings. The necessity for analytics, for nothing more than ROI purposes and tying to objectives makes these all-in-one suites less favorable.

It’s standard issue to have an API these days, but APIs must do more to connect with automation and analytics.

Popular cross-platform social app TweetDeck is announcing an update to its desktop client this morning which will add Foursquare and Google Buzz to its arsenal of supported streams which already includes Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace and Facebook. In addition, the version 0.34 update will allow for the addition of any Twitter-compatible APIs, including WordPress, StatusNet and Tumblr, as well as a slew of other features such as global filters and scheduled posts. The company will also announce financial news this morning, confirming that it has raised an undisclosed amount of Series B funding.
