Improve the Facebook Experience: Life-Changing Apps
Looking for a life-changing app? How about a new
game to feed your gaming addiction? Look no further than you favorite social
network, Facebook. It offers some of the most innovative ways to connect, play
and challenge yourself.
Soundcloud
Love your tunes, skip
the ads. Soundcloud (SoundNebula on Blackberry phones) is perfect for music
lovers who aren't so fond of commercials. It's a community of artists posting
their own music on the web for everyone to hear. Log on and download a couple of
tunes today, and you'll see what the buzz is about. The app flaunts "ten
hours of music is uploaded every minute" on their Facebook app page so
there's plenty of songs for browsing on cell phones. And with some phones
boasting 13.5 hours of battery life, according to BlackBerry.com, you can
listen to music all day. You'll enjoy comedy skits, news and more along with
extremely diverse music. Plus, it's ad-free, and free to install.
Scrabble
An old classic on a new
phone, Scrabble will keep you occupied and mentally engaged for hours at a
time. This app is perfect for long road trips and vacations, and its ideal if
you love this game but rarely have the time to sit down and play. Featuring
bright graphics, and an easy-to-play interface, you can challenge your BFF to
game after game and see who the true word smith really is. This app is
available for $3.99, about the cost of a latte.
Causes
Ever wonder why people
don't buy something meaningful and worthwhile when we have something as
powerful as online social networking? Causes is the social app that hears you. It lets you take
advantage of all this human inter connectivity to make people aware of social,
political and human rights issues. This app is free and available on any phone
with a Facebook app. Use it to spread the word about a favorite charity, or
make friends aware of global issues.
Spotify
You ditched the CD
collection years ago, now you have a scattering of MP3 downloads on your past
devices, which together appear like a timeline of technology innovations. Well
introduce yourself to Spotify, an app for cataloging your music—all of it.
Spotify is sort of like a mobile music library. It stores all your favorite
music and gives you instant access.There are millions of tracks available for
your hungry ears—more tracks than you probably have time to listen to. You can
share music you are currently jamming to with friends on Facebook. There are
two versions of this app. Lite lets you play the radio, but not catalog your
music. Premium is $10 a month and you can catalog your music or listen to the
radio.
TuneIn
Want more music plus
sports and news? TuneIn is a radio app for your phone. It offers your favorite
songs, plus broadcasts of your favorite team's home opener, and the latest
news. Listen to streams from popular networks like CBS and ESPN. Find your
newest favorite song on radio stations around the country and around the globe,
set up pre-selected stations, and play your music on your device while you surf
the web. It also features an alarm so you can wake up to your tunes. Best of
all, it is free.
