Party apps

The social media world is an ever changing one. It goes through static moments where little seems to change and then another network comes along that slightly kinks the model a little bit. Facebook started it off and then there was Twitter for words, Instagram for photos and i read recently that users now send over 2 billion Snapchat photos and videos every day. Astonishing! So why do we need another social network to complicate our lives even further?  More

I'm sure everyone has, at some point, played the 'what's your porn star name' game. I guess the most popular way of playing it is by using your pet's name as your first name and coupling it with the name of the street that you first lived in as your surname. For me that means I would become Buffy Wellington if I were ever to chance my arm in the porn industry. One thing's for sure, when you add something like alcohol,  it's a game that'll be guaranteed to break the ice at parties and delivers a hell of a lot of  laughs in the process.Nomenclature is a very simple and fun new ...  More

Everyone seems to love playing a few games of online trivia when they have a bit of spare time. There's nothing like pitting your wits against and conquering the computer as it fires question and question at you. It's what's known as a great little time-waster.

The rapid rise in popularity of tablets in general and iPad in particular has thrown open the whole concept of mobile games over the last couple of years. While the home computer opened up the whole gaming world it doesn't have the user-friendliness of a mobile version to capture the attention of the younger ones and the mobile phone is just too small. Confetti HD is a challenging new fast paced and fun game for older kids. This colorful logic-based board game for iOS requires you to gain points by collecting the right combination of three cards and complete your set. Sounds simple enough? ...  More

I wonder how many of you know what's going on in terms of entertainment in your city tonight. You'll probably think you have a pretty good idea but it's actually fairly difficult to get a grip on the multitude of events that are happening every night in a major city unless you buy an evening newspaper, the local 'whats on' guide and then check a few local Internet sites. Wikido is a very flexible  geolocalization-based entertainment search engine that hunts down all the entertainment in your city from countless websites whether it be a concert, a rodeo or sports event. What's more, ...  More

There was a report a few years ago in a prominent British music paper that claimed in big bold letters that the guitar was dead. That year in the UK they sold more turntables than they did guitars. But when I look at the music business now all isles guitars so I guess that theory went out the window. You see, guitars are just so damned user friendly. So that's where Four ChordsHD comes in handy. Apparently, half of the people who attempt to learn to play guitar give up before they get proficient and much of that comes down to poor teaching techniques. Four Chords is a guitar karaoke ...  More

There have been some occasions over the last couple of years when this party application would have come in really useful. I remember some guy named Toby putting his party up on an open Facebook page a couple of years ago in Australia and wasn't it just a few weeks back when some guy in Belgium had literally thousands of people turn up to a party. The big difference with this unique party app is that here you can identify where a party is on in your general area and request an invite to see if you can crash it.   Imagine being able to find, share or create your own parties right in ...  More

When you think about it, Glassmap owes as much to the Starship Enterprise as it does to evolving geolocation technology. All this comprehensive GPS and communication application needs to complete it is a button that says "Beam me up Scotty" and it would fit nicely on Spock's utility belt. Glassmap goes under the title of a geolocation device but, in reality, it's way more than just that. Not only does it let you share your exact location with friends but there are also tools to share photos in real time, co-ordinate meetings, chat messaging and VoIP. In fact, pretty well everything you ...  More

Reggae - surely the most infectious of all the musical riddims. Even the sweetest Kentucky filly can't resist singing along when Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" comes on the radio.
