APPS AND GADGETRY

Though being a mom has pushed being an early-adopter down on the scale of priorities, I'm still like a mosquito to light when a LCD screen turns on.

All things internet play into my job, my hobbies, and my passion. I can't help but ramble incoherently on the topic sometimes.

About this Blog // I'm inconsistent with my blogging, both in timing and subject matter. I break the number 1 rule I tell my clients with my personal blog. But, this is for no one in particular and sometimes it just feels nice to pen your meanderings. *shrug* Take it for what it is.

  • TOOL OVERLOAD: MY APP COLLECTION IS MORBIDLY OBESE -OR- 5 APPS I’M GOING TO DELETE

    AUTHOR: // CATEGORY: Apps and Gadgetry

    I may have taken the “there’s an app for that,” campaign a little too seriously.  My app collection has grown to an abnormally large-ish size.  It’s to the point now where I cannot store pictures or music on my iPad or iPhone, due to the need for app room.  28GB on my phone… it’s a bit obnoxious.   Then, it’s not just my iOS devices… my Macs are getting pretty cluttered.  My Launchpad dashboard has 12 screens.  It’s almost like I need an app to sort my apps.  As such, it’s time to get rid of the garbage that I don’t need?  Why? To make room for new garbage of course!  Without further ado, here’s 10 apps that I’ve evaluated to be useless.

    1. TweetDeck – Come on… if this isn’t superfluous, I don’t know what is!  I have Hootsuite, TweetBot (on iOS), BufferApp, Twitter app, and Sprout.  How many tools to manage Twitter can one possibly use?  On iOS, TweetBot and Sprout are the only ones I use anyway!  On the Mac, I use HootSuite, Sprout, Twitter, and Buffer (don’t judge… they all have their places).
    2. IHeartRadio – At some point, a girl’s gotta evaluate just how much streaming media she can consume.  From the audio standpoint, I have Pandora, Spotify, and Audible.  IHeartRadio hasn’t been opened in months.
    3. Firefox Home – Yeah, in principal, I’d love to use this.  But because of lack of integration with the iOS system, I never end up using it.  Buh-bye.
    4. MapMyRun – That’s an aspiration that’s never going to come true.  See-ya!
    5. Kepler Explorer – I was totally stoked when I saw this app get announced.  I have an unhealthy obsession with space and this would be perfect for me.  Except, it doesn’t give you those sexy details like atmosphere or ground data that I want.  It’s closer to a star map than anything else.

    How do you deal with app overload?  Are you like me and just let them clutter/pile-up or do you have a system?

    I am an app addict.  No lie.  I collect them, I swear.  Here’s what’s tickling my fancy this week:

    Yoono – Found it as a Firefox addon.  I was loving it, but then realized it really slowed down my already-bloated Firefox experience.  Sought out a fix to find they have a nice AIR desktop application (HINT:  AIR means it works for you PC nubs too!).  Could this be the elusive all-in-one social client I’ve been seeking for so long?  Socialite was bloated, Trillian was information overload, Hootsuite is just … WAY too much information… Yoono gives me what I want.  Now if only Google+ was in there, but without an API, well, you can’t blame Yoono for that.
