Facebook apps

Here is a Facebook application that will be great for all of us downright lazy people who find it inconvenient (or simply cant be bothered) to physically type in their Facebook account. Or is that too harsh? Im sure there are plenty of times when it would come in very handy to not have to type in your details. When you are stopped at the lights on the way home or when you are feeling a little tired and emotional, maybe? Can't find your glasses? Fingers too big for the keypad? No worries.  Facebook Voice lets you use your Facebook account in hands free mode without having to type any ...  More

Have you checked out the price of greetings cards recently? It's no wonder that so many people choose to use social networks to say happy birthday to their friends rather than their rather expensive paper equivalent.

Happy Birthday Cards by Symbyoz lets you show your family and friends just how special you think they are by creating thoughtful, personalized and really special birthday cards that you can share via your favorite ...  More

I guess we all know by now what a meme is?  Well actually, you may not know it specifically by name but I'm sure that most of us can certainly relate to those funny little photos that turn up on our Facebook pages with a witty comment attached to them. For future reference - that's a meme. According to its Wikipedia definition a meme is  "an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture via the Internet." So, in other words, it's a viral photo that spreads a message that is often, but certainly not always, rather witty. FunnyPicMaker is a free meme ...  More

The speed dial! It's been around for years but, to be quite honest, it's never really been presented in a way that looks good. It's really all just been about hitting a button and calling someone fast. One Touch Dial is an phone application for iOS that takes the concept of the speed dialer to quite a different level by letting you create icons that will not only take you to a phone call but also to your favorite contacts like email, text messaging or any of your social networks.   One Touch Dial is an amazing speed dial app that enables you to create speed dial icons to connect with ...  More

Just in case you hadn't noticed, things are moving at an alarmingly fast pace in the world of online technology. So fast, in fact, that it can be hard to keep up with the latest rumors, releases and trends. If you are anything like me, you scour through a few favorite sites like Mashable, TechCrunch and Geek.com to try to keep up and pick up the rest of the information from wherever you can. Most of these sites offer their own variation on tech news - some put the emphasis on games while others feature the latest software, gadgets or Apple news  - but there are few that deliver ...  More

Since advertisers realized just how good a marketing tool the Facebook Fan Page actually was a couple of years there have been a number of great apps to turn your page into something special. Apps like iFrame Tab and Cool Mohito were so easy to use that there was no need to hire a professional web designer because the step by step guide meant even your granny could do it. Landable takes the concept of the fan page one step further with this app to create great landing pages for Facebook that are suitable for both web and mobile pages and without needing any coding or HTML knowledge.   ...  More

Readers who tune into our reviews on a reasonably regular basis will know just how much we love a good photo editing application. Usually they tend to be a single function set of tools that will use different filters to turn your photos into something special. Quite often, these days, I will use two or maybe three different apps to achieve some truly artistic masterpieces - well, I think so, anyway. So it's kinda rare when a free app comes along that gives you multiple photo editing tools. Viscomsoft Social Galleries is a photo sharing and photo editing tool that gives you over twenty ...  More

I've been saying for some time that there is an optimum number of friends that are manageable on social networks. Realistically, having anything more than 200 Facebook friends makes scrolling through the various feeds almost a full time job. Many of them mean little of nothing to you and you will skip over them to get to the important stuff. Damned time consuming, isn't it? Now, add Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram and, what used to be a fun exercise, is starting to turn into a full time job. Slim is a new iOS social media productivity application that filters the important updates from ...  More

The developers of Inqu hope that, within a couple of years, it will be looked at in the same way that we use sites like Google and Wikipedia. It will be an information place.

This analytical and knowledge gathering application allows you to find out in just a few seconds just what the majority of people want or think about a question that is asked.   Its pretty obvious that the internet is the most advanced way to find the answers that you are ...  More
