Flipboard: Manage your social accounts with this free godly app

I have tested and tried many social media managing tools and apps and have yet to come across one that has served me as well as I had hoped, so I, like many of you have had to resort to using multiple managing tools for various social networks. *right eye twitching* We like our time, it is as precious as the LOTR’s ring and we do not like it wasted, nor do we want to spend hours trying to remain managing our time just to keep being active and engaging on our social networks, whether it is for work or for play.

Stop killing social networks by begging for likes and retweets

Stop killing social networks by begging for likes and retweets

Okay, so perhaps the title sounds a little negative and normally I don’t like going to the Darkside, unless there are jelly doughnuts. However, I feel as though social sites like Facebook, Twitter and now even Google+ have people making the sites feel negative, or perhaps it is just the way it makes me feel, but there has got to be others out there that feel somewhat like I do. I am talking about the “like if you agree” or “please retweet this” posts; just typing them here makes my stomach turn. I get that social signals are rising and sites like Empire Avenue, Klout, PeerIndex and Kred all make…

Are pictures taking over the web?

Are pictures taking over the web?

Have you noticed the increase of pictures on Social Networks as of late? Google+ users have pretty much been doing this since the social network was still closed to the public. However, Facebook users have taken the picture sharing up a notch since that is what many people seem to be sharing these days.

In fact this states true for anything that is organically added to the site like a status update or…

Mercedes-Benz invisible to the environment LED car

Mercedes-Benz invisible to the environment LED car

In 2014, you could have the opportunity to rev up the engines of a Mercedes-Benz car that will have a 386-kilometre range and zero emissions, making it an invisible car to the environment. Using the idea they decided to market their vehicle by adding LED light’s onto the car and putting a camera inside the car to pick up the environment around it to display what a zero emission car would do to the environment, it would act like the LED car looks, invisible, as if it blends in with the environment instead of hurting it. …

Social searcher makes searching for people on Facebook easy

Searching on Facebook can be a nightmare when looking for a brand or especially when searching for a person with a popular name. You could spend hours trying to find that recognizable face in a profile picture with your fingers crossed that they actually use a picture of themselves as an avatar. If not, you are spent clicking on profiles hoping they haven’t set their privacy settings to “friends only” so you can creep their page and see if it is the person you are looking to reconnect with on Facebook. As addicting as this process can be for when you finally do find that person adrenaline pumps…

REM-enhancing eye mask creates video game like dreams that you control
