The #1 Resource for Church Technology Creativity & New Thinking
This weekend I realized how ridiculously cluttered my iPhone is with apps that I rarely use.
Seriously tragic.
Of the 40 or so apps that I have installed I probably use 4 to 5 of them daily and up to 8 of them weekly.
So on a “busy” week I might use 20% of the apps that I’ve got on there. Wow. What a waste!

I remember when I first started using twitter: I had a Motorola Razor that I could use to call people and play Tetris. It was pretty much useless by today’s standards of cell phones, but it was super thin.
I remember turning on device updates for everyone that I followed on twitter. At the time my cell phone was the only way I really interacted with twitter. You can imagine as I started to follow more people on twitter my device updates increased. It got to the point where I was getting a text message every five minutes.
I loved the notifications at first, but after a while it got really old. It would have been okay if not for one of my friends. He was the guy that decided to send in about five tweets at a time talking about a TV show or a sports game. I could really care less what he thought of a referees call. My love for device updates quickly was ending by turning them off.
We all follow that one person that likes to talk about American Idol, Glee, or Lost a little too much. Sometimes you wish they would do it somewhere else. Or how about that guy or gal that is at a conference and becomes a tweeting machine by quoting everything the speaker says.
Sometimes it is okay to get some of the updates, but after a while your twitter stream starts to get backed up with tweets from one person. Maybe you like this, but I myself could do without the running commentary about everything that is happening on a American Idol, sporting event, or conferences.
Maybe there’s an app for that…

Tethering, which is the ability for one device, usually a computer or laptop, to connect and use a smartphone’s mobile network as it’s own for internet access, has typically been banned because of the obvious increase of bandwidth.
But, it’s not a new technology and has been available on handsets, like the iPhone, as long as you “jailbreak” it or purchase an app that allows that feature and functionality (which Apple hasn’t really ok’d either).
But it seems like Android is going to make it a mainstay in their public (and legal) offering and that might just be the thing that makes me convert to it finally…

If there’s one guy that I can trust for tweeting out good resources (especially one’s related to “productivity”) it’s @TonySteward!
He dropped this tweet out about an iPad app that let’s you create website mockups and I had to check it out: iMockups for the iPad.
A quick look reveals that it appears to be like the iPad-version of Mockingbird, an easy wireframing web app.

It’s always been fascinating that we have instant messaging applications on mobile devices, especially when you have native text messaging.
In fact, I’ve never really used them until now, and especially with an iPad, the AIM for iPad client is a fantastic (and stylish) implementation.
It was only a matter of time, right?
Facebook is now sporting HTML5 with their videos and the world rejoices, I think.
The movement toward a better web is picking up.
