Apps that make living in the world easier, more fun and more expressive. Too many good apps out there, and these are the ones I am looking at this week. Stay tuned for more in the weeks to come.
Thanks for all the suggestions for Apps to Look At. Send me yours at twitter.com/5tilt.
Citymaps - citymaps.com
So much of what I ever wanted from Foursquare, Yelp and Google Maps is about places, not locations, but places. Places I've been to, places I've loved, places to share and places to meet at. This is focused way to find and collect those places. You can find my growing maps @rtsnance on Citymaps.
Super - super.me
Visual, fun memes to be made for your friends and the world, Super walks you through building a meme-worthy message. It's a way people love to communicate with their friends, just made easier to find, make and share.
Nutshell - nutshell.prezi.com
Life's little stories, short and sweet
Snap three pictures. Add captions. Choose graphics. And let Nutshell turn it all into a shareable cinematic story.
Reuters TV - www.reuters.tv
TV doesn't mean what it used to mean. It used to be a box you sat in front of. Now it is something that comes streaming through the things we carry around with us. The Reuters TV responds to that in an exciting way: a pre-downloaded, custom-tailored 5 to 30 min selections of news segments, ready for you to watch whenever and wherever you are.
Timeline - Timeline.com
Weaving together the reports that cover events in a quick succession creates a more complex and nuanced story. Such is the essence of Timeline. See how a story evolves over time. Quickly dive into its roots and beginnings. All this helps make sense of the news.
