Social Networks and Apps

With the number of social apps these days, people can surely mess up their own social network. So here are some things I know that I can recommend to remedy that.

1. Get the path app for your social network. It organizes it giving you the option of sharing content where you want it shared. This app links facebook, twitter, tumblr, instagram and foursquare.
2. For your professional or business network I would suggest linkedin. It has a simple design and layout. It was made intelligently to cater to professionals and their business or client network.
3. Collaborating or organizing a big project with other people or groups of people? Get Trello. Though their android app is still in it’s development stage, when accessed from a browser on a PC, it makes collaborating easy. Simplified to making a reminder with due dates, notes and attachments then dragging and dropping it to the corresponding team/s checklist.
4. You want a personal organizer, notetaker with some sharing features to do some collaboration or share reviews to your friends or public much like a blog writer? Springpad would be the way to go. It houses all of these features organizing everything to separate notebooks. Giving each notebook the option to be kept a private notebook for your own notes and to-do lists, be a public notebook to be viewed and commented by anyone much like an open book or blog, or selected contributors for collaboration and cooperation with people.

I’ve tried many social apps but these are the ones that stood out the most. Try them out for yourselves and see. – Read on Path.

Social networking solution - The Path App

Lately I had been experimenting with different social apps and networks. I and my fiancee have a total of 11 social apps and/or networks. The mainstream online networks, 1 facebook account and 3 twitter accounts. My fiancee loves instagram. I am still a beginner when using linkedin. We both have blogger (blogspot) when we just want to talk about something. I am also active in using springpad. And last, due to this social app, PATH, I also made me tumblr, foursquare and flickr accounts. Also I have google+.

In a social aspect, i have a messed-up network.

Time passed by so fast that after facebook and twitter boomed in the social networking industry, lots of other people started making social apps and online networks. People saw the potential and the necessity of it in the current generation. This made socializing a pain in the ass.

So my advice aside from sticking to facebook and/or twitter only, destroy all links of all your social apps to each other and their corresponding networks, then get the PATH app. Path organizes everything in your social network. It simplifies sharing. Sharing what you want, where you want it to be shared. It also has a simple layout that makes sharing even easier. It now even has a search feature so you can search a particular shared event or memory.

All I can say is I love Path and I wish people start seeing the greatness in it. I just wish they linked blogger here as well since it is more easily seen in google searches.

I am actually writing this entry from Path. – Read on Path.

What Windows 8 devices should one buy?

My personal opinion and preference...Windows 8 would be perfect for a tablet and ultrabook hybrid. With features that can cater to 7 inch tablets to 13 inch ultrabooks (slim and lightweight laptops), a hybrid makes it ideal to maximize all Windows 8 functions. I would suggest the Microsoft Surface and the Sony Vaio Duo 11 if you want to buy now. But I would gladly wait for Windows 8 to further develop their pen or stylus features much alike to that of the s-pen of Samsung Galaxy Note devices. With the productivity of having refined stylus features, multi-window multitasking and access to the basic work office programs, add to it better hardware in the future this will surely be very useful to many people.

One can use Microsoft Office, Adobe and some Autodesk programs on these devices but do not expect a performance like that of PCs or Macs. This is for light workloads only.

For multimedia content I suggest sticking to Android and Apple mobile devices namely, Samsung and iPhone.

For heavy workloads, do those work on your workstations, PCs and Macs in your office or house

Mouth watering Android devices...

I can’t help but always look at these Android devices.

Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 & Asus Transformer Prime
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 & LG Google Nexus 4

Samsung Galaxy gadgets are mouth watery due to their features. But the Nexus 4 and Transformer Prime just can’t be neglected for me.

The Nexus 4 sports the latest 4.2 Jellybean and a great set of features and hardware that for me, are also very useful to have in smartphones while priced competitively with its Samsung counterparts.

The Transformer Prime has 1080p resolution showing great screen detail and viewing pleasure. Also, an additional battery pack in its keyboard dock makes it a viable laptop substitute.

Samsung’s standout feature for me is the multi-window multitasking feature. This is very productive adding to that a set of features making your smartphone incredibly convenient to use.

It really is just a matter of preference. Look up these devices and see for yourself which would you prefer.
