December 14, 2011 / Communication

Gooloo Mobile Social Network for Android aims to provide private messaging to groups of friends or single friends, post status updates, birthday messages, send links and more. Although it doesn’t add up to the prowess of social networking such as Facebook or Twitter, it allows you to keep a small group of contacts having a group conversation, something that few other networks can provide.

MakeLoop for Android – Video Review

November 2, 2011 / Communication

Make Loop for Android allows you to send grouped text messages or emails to friends, coworkers, or any group of people that you combine.

Vlingo for Android – Video Review

October 11, 2011 / Communication

Vlingo is an outstanding personal digital assistant for your Android device. With the impending release of iOS 5 and Siri, I thought it would be useful to review an alternative application that is available for Android devices. Vlingo lets users speak certain commands, virtually handsfree. Say you want to text someone, make a call, or open an application, click the speak button, say your command, and you’re off to the races. I can’t recommend Vlingo enough, especially, when it is [...]

Pros – Interesting and unique idea. Well executed app. Cons – Unsure of how useful or ethical it is to use this app. Overall [...]

Viber for Android – Video Review

August 11, 2011 / Communication

Viber is very similar to Skype, in that it enables you to make free VOIP (voice over IP) phone calls over WIFI. Allegedly, you will not be charged any airtime minutes for using this application. From what I’ve seen of Viber thus far, if you’re making many long distance or international calls, this may be the free/cheap way to go. Pro – Allows you to make free phone calls over wifi. Con – If you have a poor wifi signal, [...]
