I like to explore and research new apps.

Snackr is a new app for the iPhone that I’ve been using the past two days. It’s one of my morning apps that I launch to catch up on current news. The app takes your chosen news sources and reads them to you. The apps voice calls itself Alfred, which is a great choice, because I’m Batman, lol. The app can will also pull in the weather and information from Facebook and keep you posted on friends birthdays and what not. I also have it setup to update me on NFL scores, but that obviously isn’t working during this time of year, I wish they had the NHL added. I would be definitely taking advantage of that.

Bit.ly is a service that I’m sure a majority internet peeps are familiar with. It allows for users to take webpage URLs and get a usually shorter and trackable URL to use. It is really a great tool for marketing. It comes in very handy for tracking URLs on third party sites, like Twitter and Facebook, where you don’t have access to the web analytics.
