It’s slick and minimalistic interface works beautifully on a touchscreen phone. It’s quick, it’s snappy and it fits in my current approach to using technology: I want it to be pretty and I want it to be simple.

Sparrow’s lack of push notifications has been an issue for some users. Good news on that front, as it seems Sparrow will be getting built-in Push Notification support soon, with or without Apple’s blessing. If you can’t wait for that to happen, I’ve made the tutorial bellow that should add a few power features to tide you over, including PUSH NOTIFICATIONS, using the ever usefull Boxcar app.

Enjoy!

Facebook suggest location tags

So I logged onto Facebook today only to be greeted by something unexpected. Hold on to your hats, boys & girls: Facebook has added yet ANOTHER feature you’ll probably love to pointlessly freak out about.

Facebook is now suggesting location tags for your uploaded photos. This is awesome because by geotagging your photos, you can easily organize them in interesting new ways and most importantly, find them again much more easily. For instance, wouldn’t it be cool to get a bird’s eye view of all the locations you’ve visited, complete with pictures YOU’VE taken? Or seamlessly search for pictures you’ve taken at a specific location?

What makes this feature particularly interesting is how well Facebook seems to figure out where the pictures were taking. The simple reality is, if you don’t have GPS built into your camera (ie most smart-phones) or have an external GPS attachment for your camera/DSLR, geolocating your photos is a pain in the ass. Facebook seems to be trying to make the experience easier and more convenient.

Some will probably say it’s creepy. Me? I say AWESOME. In any event… let the rejoicing / freaking out commence…

Facebook Messenger

Facebook Messenger

With one glorious announcement, Facebook has essentially pimp slapped a wide range of mobile instant messaging platforms such as BlackBerry’s BBM, WhatsApp, GroupMe, Ping! Chat, etc… by releasing a brand new iPhone/Android compatible mobile instant messaging app called “Facebook Messenger“

Facebook Messenger brings Facebook’s current private messaging system to the palm of your hand. Push Notifications means you can be instantly alerted directly on your phone when somebody sends you a message, making the whole experience much more SMS like.

Facebook Messenger also enables users to instantly share photos, locations and create Group Threads (making it the perfect instant messaging app to plan a night out or organize a group activity).

What makes Facebook Messenger so interesting is that it single handedly connects you with most people you know. Face it. Blackberry Messenger, WhatsApp and other similar apps might connect you to a lot of your friends… But Facebook Messenger…

That will connect you to ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

I mean… Who doesn’t have a Facebook account?
