Web Apps
Now that Twitter has reached an age of maturity, it’s being used for more than just micro-blogging. More recently, Twitter is being used for more unconventional tasks such as task management. todoTweet takes the micro-blogging platform a step further to accomplish this so you can accomplish your day-to-day tasks.
It’s that time again and along with announcing the winners of our Blinksale Triple Account Giveaway, we have even more to give away today. If you missed our review of Blinksale, Easy Invoices with Blinksale, make sure to give that a read as well.
Read on to see if you are a Blinksale winner or to get the details on the next giveaway from Clicky.
One of the most popular web analytics apps available right now is Google Analytics. While it has a powerful collection of features and capabilities, one of the features I wish it had most is live tracking. While I do care what happened yesterday, last week and during the month; I often times want to see what’s happening right now. I generally use bit.ly to track link traffic live, but that’s not a real solution.
Clicky, however, is a real solution; providing real-time analytics for your site. Real-time tracking could even be considered just the icing on the cake, considering Clicky offers enough additional features and options to make the competition hang their heads in shame. I’ll take a look at Clicky, it’s features and why it’s used by sites like Smashing Magazine and Mashable.
Among the many ways to share and store photos, Picasa is one of my favorites. Along with great desktop software for management, Picasa’s web interface has a great selection of features and options. If you’re looking for a smart, simple and easy way to share and store your photos with the ability to expand, in both storage and flexibility, as your photo albums do — Picasa is a great choice.
Mobile apps? They’re all the rage right now, especially now that the Anroid and Blackberry platforms are finally getting the ball rolling on their own app stores. Whether you own one of these platforms or not; you probably know, or have at least heard, about the massive number of apps available. Hence the “There’s an app for that” saying.
Zagg isn’t the first to try creating a mobile apps discovery tool but they seem to have done a great job with appSpace. Tied in with your iTunes app folder and Facebook account, it checks app ratings and makes recommendations based off your information. Read on for a more in-depth look at appSpace.
We’d like to say thank you to this month’s AppStorm sponsors, and the great software they create! If you’re interested in advertising, you can order a slot through BuySellAds.

One of the wonderful side effects of the internet is enhanced connectivity over ever increasing distances. A great example of this is the newly setup wireless connection for NASA astronauts. One thing you’ll notice with the web is the constant push for information — now. Twitter was a big step forward in this area, as was live video streaming with sites like Ustream.tv.
Although it’s been around for awhile, over the last year or two live blogging is being used much more frequently. Live blogging is closely related to Twitter, except a small step further. We won’t get into the technology behind it but if you want to start live blogging, here’s how to do just that.
Sometimes it’s necessary to take a break from work and do something a little more enjoyable — like play games! Of course your employer probably won’t allow you to install a desktop game on your computer but fret not, there are plenty of browser-based games to keep you entertained.
We’ve pulled together ten great browser-based games you should definitely check out.
Update: We’ve added a couple reader submitted game sites! You can submit your favorites too.
