While the human brain is capable of many things, remembering names is not always one of them. Well…there’s an app to help that. Whoodl allows you to input names along with identifying keywords so that you can easily recall who people are the next time you see them. Even if they are not particularly noteworthy or contact-worthy people, this still helps avoid the embarassing “Hey…you” moments. All you have to do is search your names list before you anticipate running into a certain group of people or enter the identifying keywords into the search when you run into someone whose name is beyond your memory, and you will forever be known as the person who is good with names.

Craigslist is many things to many people.  For some it’s a marketplace where anything and everything they need is at hand (for a price); for others it’s a dark place that hides within it shady, underhanded, and often times disturbingly hilarious dealings.  Whatever it may seem to people, the one thing that is certain is that it has become a major phenomenon on the internet.  Whether you’re looking for something to buy, some help, or someone to talk to, Craigslist will have it covered, making it one of the most widely appealing websites out there.  And now it’s available as an app for the iPhone.

LBS: Savvy Social Tool Turned Marketing Dream

User’s rating: 1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (2 votes, average: 3.00 out of 5)

While a great deal of energy has been devoted to how LBS has affected social networking, there is one other realm that has experienced its profound effects. The world of marketing has not only changed with the introduction of social networking media, but the recent fad of social LBS game/apps is adding a new dimension to how people find and experience places and products. Because the apps are so fun and social, people tend to forget how much advertising and marketing play into them. Fortunately, there are no annoying ad banners, but the simple listing of a nearby place or product is enough to get its name out there and known. Couple that with the fact that all your friends are there or you read an interesting review about it, and bam! — consumer base is multiplied.
