Sociable for iPad
What is Sociable?
Sociable connects to your favourite networks including Twitter, Facebook, Digg and Reddit, and in the absence of a proper Reddit or Facebook App, Sociable currently fills that gap. With Facebook in Sociable you can read or update your status, ‘like’ and comment on stories, view and comment on photos, write on walls. With Flickr you can view recent photos, friends photos, comment, view photos full-screen and swipe through them. With Reddit you can view hot, new, top, or controversial Reddits, and view the full articles inside the app’s built-in browser. You can also view comments on Reddits.
