We've spoken here plenty of times before and written many a positive review of apps that allow you to better control various aspects of your business website. There are apps to help the web designer put together a great website, ones to market your business online and others to help you analyze your business and optimize its growth potential. There are very few, however, that provide absolutely everything that a business needs to build and grow to fulfill that potential. But here is a new business app that has got the lot. The Marketecture Total Online Business System is the ... Read more

Judging by the fact that CamFind logged up over 50,000 downloads in its first week of release it's easy to see that it is an in-demand commodity in the photo share world. This iOS photo recognition app works in the same way that Google Goggles works for the Android in that it gives you a great search engine for information on the photos you have taken. But, while Goggles has a 15-20% accuracy rate on identifying locations from photos, CamFind ups the ante somewhat with an accuracy level that hits around 85%. What's more, it can identify your photos from ... Read more
There has been much rumbling from Facebook users of late concerning how much they dislike the volume of advertising that has encroached onto their news feeds. I've even had one friend saying that she reports each one as spam whenever they crop up. In reality, it's probably inevitable considering the billion dollars that Mr Zuckerberg reportedly shelled out for Instagram last year. But now we have an app that completely redesigns your Facebook Timeline so that the only things you see are the news, photos and status updates of your friends. Installing Coverfeed for Facebook means you won't be subjected ... Read more
To the initiated, let me just take a few minutes to tell you about Lionel Messi. In case you aren't aware, Messi is an Argentinian superstar football (or soccer) player who plays for the Spanish club Barcelona and has won the coveted FIFA Ballon D'or award as Best European player four times now. He's as tricky as Maradona or Pele without any of the controversies of the former or the legendary celebrity of the latter. He hasn't been pictured on the front page of the newspaper with numerous prostitutes nor he has been connected with any drug taking scandals. He ... Read more

Now it's time to move on from those efficient but bad old days and move into the next generation of lesson planning. Common Core is ... Read more

How could we possibly pass up on the opportunity to review a wedding photo app with a name as brilliant as AppilyWed. Believe me, there are some pretty average names out there for apps but this one is perfect. So does the app live up to the name, you ask? Well, luckily enough, this is an app that offers something new in the wedding photos concept. Up till now, this type of app has tended to be simply an online version of a traditional wedding album. Hardly a reason to switch formats as the traditional book style wedding album wins ... Read more
