Twitpay | Pay friends via Twitter… | Bloomington, IN
I was reading Wired online and came across an article titled “The Future of Money: It’s Flexible, Frictionless and (Almost) Free” and they highlighted a new web app for Twitter called Twitpay. Twitpay allows you to send money through Tweets linked to a Paypal account. At first glance, I thought this is could be the least secure way to pay someone but a very innovative way to pay...

Proposable, the web app that will make project managers giddy | Bloomington, IN
Need a proposal completed and sent? I would suggest using Proposable. This app does it all (or most) and isn’t overrun by features. Proposable allows you to create proposals, save pages in a library, archive proposals, email your proposal and get great feedback about the proposal from the client. A ‘comment’ feature is added to the submitted proposal for the client to give near realtime...

Buzzing over Google? | First Impressions
Google, you’ve done it again…maybe. I’m pretty sure we don’t need another obscure/personal/boring/witty/knowledgeable status update system in the Internets. I could be wrong! I mean, Google is the ruler of the Internets and when Google says to jump, we respond with “may I have another app?” For those of you stuck under a rock or on Bing, you might have missed the...

5 tools for Twitter | Bloomington, IN
Here is my roundup of 5 tools for Twitter. These tools are what I use to maximize my Twitter experience. #1. HootSuite : In my past post about the web app, you will notice I have a real attraction to the User Interface. Its so easy to manage your Twitter account in the HootSuite interface by scrolling left and right and inputing your message. Also, there is a feature to watch keywords used by users...

Around town fun with Foursquare | Bloomington, IN
Remember in elementary school there was a game called ‘foursquare’. The game had four squares and you stood in a square and bounced a ball… I don’t remember the rules all that well, but most people remember some version of the game. Now, there is an app called Foursquare… but has nothing to do with the game in elementary school. Foursquare is a smart phone app. It uses...

Collabtive | Collaborate and Project Manage | Open Source
I’m a huge supporter of Open Source programs. Especially, if these programs have a great community backing to help troubleshoot and keep enhancing the program. A few open source programs that you might have heard of are Wordpress, Joomla, and Linux. Wordpress and Joomla are CMS platforms that can be installed on just about any Linux based server. Linux is the operating system that can run a personal...

Top Web Apps and Tools I use every morning | Bloomington, IN
Every morning around 8:30 AM I awake to my iPhone ringing in my ear. I roll over and turn off the alarm and then instantly proceed with my day by checking my Email accounts, Twitter accounts, and Facebook via the iPhone. I almost like the interface on the iPhone better than I do on my Macbook’s browser. While drinking a cup of coffee, I head to my home office and proceed to check my websites’...

Brizzly | Manage your Twitter and Facebook feed easily.
I’ve been using Brizzly for sometime now and this web app rocks! Brizzly takes your Twitter and Facebook login and creates a simple manageable layout for your feeds. The feeds are separate in their respective network but clicking on a tab will switch them easily. You’re probably wondering why you would use this website when you can just open tabs in a browser? The answer is simple: security....

Four web apps to edit images through the browser.
Who would have thought that you would be able to edit images through your browser? These four web apps allow you to edit image with many of the tools that would be on a whole software package. This means cropping, drawing, layering, and anything for editing will be possible with these apps. Most (if not all) do exactly the same things as each other, its just a matter of choosing which brand or user...
