Mobile Thing #7

I've been using pinterest for a while. I'm not totally sold on bitly for links.  Pinterest is an excellent source of catbeards.  I would like something to store links with especially to my phone. My google stuff works okay, but I'd like an app I can open and have a list of links.  Just that no bells or whistles.

Mobile Thing #6

I dig CloudOn. I like that I can access both dropbox and google drive.  I must say I don't like creating documents on my  phone but I do like having access to my documents.  Especially my  list of Doctor Who novels I need to buy.  Great for used books stores I just happen upon.

Mobile Thing #5

I tried both Remember the Milk and Springpad.  First, let me say I use Workflowy for note taking and it's worked well for me. That being said I like the books thing in Springpad.  I'm always looking for better ways to keep track of all the books I want to read.   I use both goodreads and Librarything.  But I find a lot of the time I just need to remember the title.  I don't need all that other stuff.   Springpad might be good for that.   I'm not seeing too much work stuff use for these.  Well, except for the work stuff I've already got on Workflowy.

Mobile Thing #4

I tried Flipboard.  While I don't dislike it, I find I easily get overwhelm when all of my stuff comes into one ap or aggregator, and I often end up just going back to looking at one site or feed at a time.  I'm going to give it a go for a bit and see what happens.  Perhaps I just have a tendency to over do things with feeds.

Mobile Thing #3

I tried the Google Goggles.  It could be super cool.  I haven't gotten it to work well yet.  It didn't recognize my Mjölnir or my Doctor Who action figures.  It did tell me where I could find boots like Matt Smith's so that's something.

Mobile Thing #2

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3.  I looked at a few video specific to my device.  I have a habit of only using the features that are obvious to me, so it was nice to find out a couple cool tricks.  I liked the picture in picture stuff.  I didn't know about that at all.  I also liked the camera stuff especially, as I no longer only a camera outside of my phone.  I don't take a lot of pictures, but I intend to take a cat beard selfie in the not too distant future.
