If you want to be on Twitter and keep an eye on your Facebook updates on your iPad, you are going to have to keep opening and closing apps. That’s where Sociable for iPad comes into play. It’s a social media center for your iPad, giving users the opportunity to keep track of developments on Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Reddit, and Flickr.

Sociable is really 6 apps fit into one. For starters, it enables users to read and update their Facebook status on iPad. Writing on walls and commenting on photos is possible too.

Sociable supports Twitter too. It lets iPad owners manage multiple Twitter accounts, post tweets, retweet, and even view tweets on a map. Support for Digg, Flickr, and Reddit is nice to have too.

Those of you who are involved in more than just one community are going to love this app. Sure, you could have the same capabilities if iPad supported multi-tasking, but that is not happening in the near future. Besides, Apple’s definition of multi-tasking is very different from ours. With Sociable, you won’t have to worry about that.
