There's no doubt that the two effects that dominate the field of photosharing right now. The first is the Instagram style of photo 'warping' and the other is grouping lots of related photos together into one larger image. Both can be achieved by using a good image editing software but both benefit from using apps that are specifically developed for the purpose.

Beezmap's Online Photo Collage Maker creates attractive photo collages simply, easily and completely free. A collage is basically the ... Read more

Look, I have to tell you, Loc.Book was undoubtedly developed with people like me in mind. It's not that I get lost on a regular basis but, put me in one of those massive Westfield type multilevel shopping complexes that was probably designed by that Gruen fellow, and I'm a complete mess.

I could use the store locator, I guess, but I could also use an app like Loc.Book to find my way back directly to the store I'm ... Read more

I read a report the other day that suggested that Amazon now do more business in online books than they do in paper copies. We seem to have reached the tipping point for online books and the days of the bookshop looks to be going the same way as the music store. The only thing that has bucked the trend a little bit is the children book. I guess the traditional idea of reading to your kids from a real book is hard to shake but the advent of the very child friendly iPad has changed things forever. A not ... Read more
