There are thousands of mobile applications and more and more applications are sprouting everyday. Some applications are poorly developed while some applications are really good, and some that are very creative.
How about an application that gives directions? This should fall under “common”, “uncreative” applications in the market. But what if its an application built for night life? I think that changes things and we now have a creative application. This application called Wertago is a premiere mobile application that was built for people with a nightlife. Wertago provides up to the second information about hot venues, the ability to share …read more

A while back my brother gave me the heads up about a website called Radar.net. Today another twitter friend recommended the site to me. Normally I’m pretty good with peer pressure, but since two people asked me to check it out, I figure I will.
The basics of the site are a place and a service for you to share videos and photos with others whether it be on the Radar.net site, twitter, Facebook, flickr or your own blog. All the features you’d expect are here and then some.
I’ve normally been a fan of TwitPic to share photos on twitter, but …read more

I came across this post where it talks about computer computer and discuss that a lot of users might not be getting sunlight but instead spending time in front of the computer tweeting their way throughout the day. What social network sites are you spending time on? Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon, Friendster, Tumblr, Xanga?
The post goes on to argue that people who spend time on Facebook has lower GPAs than their classmates who are not members of Facebook.
The post suggest ways to combat the time wasted on social networks like Tracking your time online, remembering the the …read more
Coaches Get around Text Rules with Twitter

The NCAA may have a new text messaging rule to limit the contact coaches have with prospects, but there’s no rule against social networking…yet. And many coaches are taking advantage of that.
Division I and II coaches are allowed to contact recruits one-on-one using direct messaging services on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and other social networking websites. These types of messages are considered emails, which are permissable according to NCAA rules. Coaches can’t instant message or chat with recruits, but social networking opens new doors.
While public messages (such as posting on a Facebook wall) isn’t allowed, direct messages are often programmed to …read more
Dale Earnhardt Shuns Twitter

As a Twitter-oholic, I never could quite understand famous people who refuse to use the site. After all, wouldn’t sites like Twitter and Facebook give them yet another way to connect with fans?
But when I read Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s take on things, I began to understand his point-of-view. He says, “There’s tons of imposters out there. I don’t have a MySpace, a Twitter or none of that (stuff). There’s a bunch of imposters out there though that you have to beware of. I really would never get into social networking.”
I guess I can understand that. Then again, …read more
App Of The Week: EventBox

“Pack your social networks in one box”. That’s the apt slogan that The Cosmic Machine coined up for EventBox. This app puts together in one interface several popular social networking services. Facebook, Twitter, Flickr are some of the services that it integrates.
Instead of opening the several networking apps in several browser windows, EventBox packs it all for you in one neat interface. You just have one app open and it retrieves your data for you.
A great idea but the app is still in beta and there are some kinks that need to be worked out. I had a little …read more
