I'm not sure why I really like Melt...but I do. After all, there's really nothing that's particularly groundbreaking about this social photo and messaging application for iOS.

Or it might well be that it's just the place to get your favorite photos vindicated, liked and commented on. While, of course, we can always post our interesting photos on Facebook or any number of other social networks, there's no guarantee that your blaze friends will acknowledge them. ... 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.

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.

Hardly a reason to switch formats as the traditional book style wedding album wins ... Read more
A friend of mine recently made the comment that he was amazed that so many of his friends were 'ardent philosophers' given the amount of life affirming memes and quotations that they were posting these days.

Quotes Cover takes that concept one step further by providing the whole package of quotes, graphics and typography so you to create beautiful, wordy art to illustrate your social network page. It seems ... Read more
There has been a bit of a battle going on between Twitter and Instagram (and, of course, it's parent company Facebook) over the last few months. First up, Twitter launched its new video service called The Vine and described it as 'Instagram for Video.' This was coupled with Twitter stopping Instagram photos from turning up in people's streams. It might have seemed like a good idea at the time but, as we all know, part of Instagram's appeal is its unique set of filters that give photos that Instagrammatical look and The Vine fails to deliver that. So now we ... Read more
