The 5 most-useful social media tools last week

Here we go.

1. Get yourself some “Facebook” chat for Twitter with bonfire.im. There have been a few attempts at bringing real-time private chatting to Twitter, so it’ll be interesting to see if this one takes off. It works by notifying you when your Twitter contacts are online so you can have a one-to-one private chat (just like you might with Skype). This will come in handy when you want to have an in-depth chat with someone you may not know well without having to take them to another platform.
