Friendly is a Multi-User Facebook iPad App
Chances are, if you have an iPad, it’s used by more than one person in your household. And those other people probably have Facebook accounts too.
Instead of logging in and out, download Friendly.
Friendly is an iPad Facebook app that allows for multiple accounts. When you startup the app, it’ll ask you which account you want to use. It also has user switching built into the app if you need to switch while using the app.
There are other features too like an iPad optimized interface, full screen photo presentation, Facebook chat and all the Facebook features.
Facebook on a Stick
Are you on Facebook? Want to follow my blog, Blog on a Stick, on Facebook? Now you can!
I’ve created a Blog on a Stick Facebook page and it’d be great if you could LIKE it.
I’m going to be posting information from here, of course, along with tips and articles that I find useful as I come across them.
There will probably be a lot of geeky stuff, but I’ll be tossing in some parenting topics as well as anything I find useful, informative and/or fun.
Hope to see you there!
Change Your Password Before Someone Else Does
I recently got an email from a friend of mine who was vacationing in London. They were writing to tell me that they were mugged at gunpoint and their wallet, cell phone and all their money was taken. Now they were stuck in London with no way to pay the hotel bill and no way to get home.
I was shocked and felt bad for them. What could I do to help? If they had asked, I’d donate money to get them back home as I knew I’d get paid back.
16 Mac Apps That I Can’t Live Without
The other day I bit the bullet and erased my iMac. I wanted to combine my partitioned drive into one and I wanted to clean out the crud.
Now my iMac is neat and clean again. I’m being very cautious of what apps I put back on as I don’t want to add a bunch of stuff that just ends up slowing down my machine again.
So far, here are the 16 Mac apps that I realized I can’t live without.
1Password – Most of my passwords and serial numbers are organized in 1Password. Without it, I’d be lost. I’ve tried LastPass but found 1Password much nicer on the Mac.
Do Everyone A Favor And Share The Source
It’s a little bit annoying when you follow a link on Twitter or Facebook only to be taken to a site that summarizes the story, then makes you click though to the source with the full story.
I think we need to do everyone a favor and share the source.
Don’t get me wrong, there are lots of big sites out there that collect and re-post great information. Sites like TechCrunch, CrunchGear, TUAW, LifeHacker, Gizmodo and so many more do a good job of giving the smaller sites added exposure, but they are also stealing it away.
Where are the iPad Apps?
The iPad was released over 5 months ago, on April 3, 2010, and we’ve yet to see some of the biggest iPhone apps be updated to take full advantage of the iPad.
The biggest Twitter app was Tweetie, which then turned into Twitter and has a ton of fans. However, it’s still absent on the iPad.
While we await Twitter, Twitterrific is quickly raking in the money as its by far the best Twitter app on the iPad. Its price tag of $4.99 may be a bit much for some, but it beats waiting for Twitter to release their version.
How Do You Create a Facebook Profile Page For Babies?
I recently thought it’d be a fun idea to set up Lily with Facebook so friends and family could “talk” with her. Even though she’s only 9.5 months, I think a lot of people would like it. But it’s not that easy.
The first thing I tried was setting her up with her own profile. Facebook does say “anyone can join” but that’s not true. It turns out that you have to be at least 13 years old.
It’s Time To Take A Social Media Chill Pill
I think it’s time we all started thinking less and just enjoyed social media more. I know I for one have to relax a little myself.
You see, I now have all these Twitter followers; like 700, and I try to impress them all. Some are friends, some are co-workers, some are industry professionals, some are celebrities, some are random other people and I worry about what I tweet.
What if someone doesn’t like it? What if I offend someone? Chances are, no one would even notice. They’ll see my tweet and, if they don’t care, they’ll skim right buy it and get on with their overly busy day.

Unlocking the awesome potential of behavioral disorders.
Have you ever wondered the difference between Facebook, Twitter and MySpace? Well Despair.com has just the answer for you. It seems that Facebook is a combo of narcissism and stalking where MySpace is narcissism and ADHD. Twitter on the other hand has all three! Go Twitter!

Get Quick Updates On All Your Favorite Social Sites With Fluid
If you’re anything like me, you have more than a few social networks you are a part of. Keeping up with all those networks can be hard too. However, with the Mac app Fluid you can create multi-site menu bar applications for quick and easy access.
What I have setup is Facebook mobile, Weather Underground mobile and Plurk mobile all loaded into one application and stored in my menu bar. When I click on the blue F, I not only see the weather conditions, but also any Facebook updates and Plurk updates.
