iPhone Apps That Rock My Tech-Dependent World

News

• USA Today: This is my go-to application for world news and share-worthy articles.  And you actually can share articles via the app by email, Text, Twitter (posts with Twitterific application) and Facebook.

• Mashable: I love reading Mashable to stay updated on all things social media.  You can now tweet the blog posts, too, directly from the app.

Misc.

• The Weather Channel: I have tried many weather applications and find this one to be the most accurate.  It provides options to view current conditions and hourly, 36 hour, or 10 day forecasts.  The real reason it rocks my world is because I don’t have to wait for the local weather report each morning to decide what to wear.

• Urbanspoon: Have you ever wanted to eat somewhere new or wanted to find a restaurant in an unfamiliar neighborhood? Obviously, we have all been in that situation.  This app is the answer.  It finds your current location, you choose the genre of food and price (or leave it open if you are indifferent), then shake the phone (literally), and it suggests a restaurant.  It also provides reviews and a map.

Social Networking

• Tweetie: I have tried every Twitter application available for the iphone, or at least all of them under $4, because I constantly tweet on the go for multiple accounts.  This is my favorite app for managing multiple accounts efficiently.  It is user-friendly and loads quickly.

• Facebook: I can update my status, upload photos and chat.

Fashion

• Chanel: I view fashion shows while waiting in line at Starbucks.  Need I say more?

• Style.com:  This app allows for quick access to the Style File Blog, photos from shows and parties, and a designer index.  I am a fashion magazine addict so this app is pure entertainment.

Games

• Shakespell: This is a fun word scramble game (to someone who was an English major).

• Sol Free: Free solitaire games.
