Google+ vs Facebook

So I've been on Google+ for awhile now and I think Google finally figured it out, social networking that is. Well... mostly that is. Circles are great. They feel like a much easier version of Facebook Groups. Hangouts seem a little gimmicky. Nonetheless, it is free video chat. Huddles is Google's attempt at group chat. I haven't tried Huddles yet, but I have a feeling it may be harmful for GroupMe.

HTC EVO 3D

I finally replaced my quickly aging HTC Hero. I have to say I'm not surprised by the excellent build quality of this phone. It has a very solid feel to it. Now the 3D is a little gimicky but that's not why I bought the phone. The speed is what sold me. There is no lag. None. Period. The Google Voice integration is pretty good. And the picture quality is also excellent. People deemed the originally EVO an iPhone killer. The EVO 3D kills the original EVO. With that being said, I believe that Apple is now required to release the iPhone 5 this year. I have yet to find anything I don't like about this phone. I even feel that it gets better reception, but it may just be a placebo effect. The stock keyboard isn't bad, but I am a fan of the swype keyboard. I strongly suggest this phone.

Blogger+

Blogger+ may be the greatest app I've ever used on iOS. The app has some great features including labeling posts, inserting photos or maps, sharing to Facebook or Twitter, and multiple blog support. I don't think anyone who has a blog should be without this little piece of software. Updating a blog is similar to painting. You have to be inspired otherwise who would want to look at it? We'll now you can blog from anywhere that you have your iPhone or iPad. No more forgetting the topic by time you make it to the computer.

iWeb

So those of you who have been following us for awhile might notice the site looks a little different. Over the next few days, I will be migrating the site to iWeb. This program is just plain easy. I haven’t had time to sit down and do any design or html work on the old site, and now I don’t have too. I would love some feed back on the new site. But now to a little more of a review. iWeb literaly would allow for a monkey to create a half decent site. It is completely visually based for the most part. It is possible to add html but there is very little need. It may not be the most impressive site but it looks better than GoDaddy’s Website Tonight. I do use GoDaddy products but iWeb may replace atleast Website Tonight.
