FACEBOOK PAGES, iPHONE, APPLE AND ANDROID

FACEBOOK

We all know that few days back face book launched their new service called “Places”. Although the service helps us to locate the exact location of a person but it became controversial for privacy reasons.  I think people like you and me are willing to overlook any privacy concern because we are completely addicted to FaceBook.  

The FaceBook company knows this very well and they don’t care! Because 500+ million people are using FaceBook.  To prove my point I will give you a reason. Kodak announced a new digital camera, the EasyShare M590. With Kodak now you are able to tag photos and videos for FaceBook apart from YouTube and Flickr. They also have picture frame hooked into FaceBook, so that you can show photos from FaceBook albums. This shows that how everyone recognizes the power of FaceBook.

I am bored with the uniform design of my FaceBook page. However from today I can create a super fan page for free. Here are 3 best services for making Face Book page tabs that I use.

 1. MicroApps – This is the newest service available, you can drag and drop elements to center of the page. It is very easy to use and I created my first fan page in few minutes. Know more 

  2. TabFusion – With more than 122,000 monthly users it has an app for each tab you want to add. Twitter tab is used by the maximum number of people. Know more 

  3. Involver - Involver is the biggest collection of applications. You can add only a single application under one tab. However you get to enjoy apps for free like YouTube, Twitter, Flickr etc. Know more

iPHONE

Share iPhone Photos Online

Application: PICPLZ’s Social Photo App  

Feature: You can share photos taken on the phone on the web. Photos taken are synced to your profile on www.picplz.com and tagged with the location. Now you can post directly from app to Face Book or Twitter.

USP:  
- Applications like Foursquare do not allow you to upload photos with check in, however Picplz provides this.  
- Easy way to transfer and publish pictures to the cloud compare to FaceBook ‘s location based feature.

Receive Email Alert On iPhone

Application: Google Apps

Feature: Receive push notifications for Gmail and Google calendar. Then download the updates through Apple’s App Store. To set up enter your Google account and an alert comes every time when an email is received.

USP:
 - You can set a time interval for sound alerts.
 -  Enhance search functionality, when searching for weather, news or quotes the app does not requires pressing ‘Search”.

APPLE

Dual Mode Touch Screen Desktops And Laptops

Future: We know that Mac OS X and iOS share a lot of common code, hence Apple could leverage an iOS like touchscreen interface for future computers.
Apple wants to switch from a conventional desktop UI (user interface) with mouse and keyboards to a UI for touch input.
In fact a co developer of Mac OS X said “I could see a gradual, slow merger between Mac OS X and iOS styles and approaches.”

ANDROID

New: There are many games available for android platform but only few of them are good enough for playing. I tired many such games but I find four games that I enjoyed the most.

1. Bonsai Blast
2. Robo Defense
3. The Inferno
            4. SpacePhysics

For your kind information 20 percent of Americans have played games on social networks. That will be about 56.8 million people spend time playing games like Mafia wars and many of them have spent money.
