Analysis Media Social apps

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.

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.

Slim is a new iOS social media productivity application that filters the important updates from ...  More

Most of the art portals that are to be seen as apps have tended to be rather staid looking affairs that cater purely for the collector.

MyArtPlot is such a thing! An art and craft app for creatives of all  types. No flashy gimmicks or groovy graphics. This is an app that exists to be the portal between all aspects of the art industry and makes it easier for the artist to keep in touch with their ...  More

You'll find that the bigger organizations can afford to hire specific professionals to handle the concerns of their customers and to make sure that their business run smoothly but that's not such a viable prospect for smaller companies who run on a very tight budget.
