Instagram for Andriod? WHEN?

July 31, 2011 | By Heidi | Filed Under: Instagram, review | Leave a Comment

instagramIf you have an iPhone then I’m sure you’ve heard of the popular photo taking, editing, and sharing app called Instagram. I mainly see people sharing their photos on Twitter, but people who have Instagram have other people who follow them on Instagram and they can see their photos there.

Being an Android girl, I don’t have the ability to use Instagram. Crying face

I don’t think this is very fair! In fact, I emailed them tonight and asked if they were ever coming out with an Android app. I’ll let you know when/if I get a response what they say.

In the meantime, since I am destined to be Instagram-less, I have decided to test out a few of the Android app alternatives to Instagram.

I have downloaded (and actually bought) the following apps: Magic Hour, picplz and Vignette.

Picplz is the only one (I believe) that has a sharing website similar to Instagram. I have signed up for it but have not really delved into it much. But I will be!

I am going to use these three apps for a week and then I will write a review of them. I will be looking at ease of use, filters, and ease of sharing.

I have already used Vignette to take some photos around the house, one I think came out great but I can’t find the buggar on my phone! I did upload it to Google Plus though.

This is Cosmo kitty and he was following a bug in the lamp, but I was able to get this one photo of him looking at me.

So, I will be uploading them to my Google Plus page and posting them on twitter as well.

Check back here in a week for my reviews!

Google+ … I Gotz It!

July 10, 2011 | By Heidi | Filed Under: site | Leave a Comment

Google has a new social network, wait let me take that back, it’s not a social network. Let me find their wording for what Google+ is…

I think this link http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/introducing-google-project-real-life.html which is from Google will help you understand what it’s all about.

There are a few different videos as well to explain things. I don’ really understand how it all works myself and there aren’t very many people I know on there yet, but the potential is definitely there.

My first thought is that it’s like Facebook without the games. So if games are something you hate about Facebook, maybe you’ll be more comfortable on Google+.

Also, I have not seen a lot of pages…like all of the ridiculous things about Facebook are not on there, so that is definitely another plus. I could see this replacing Facebook, or at least for the people who do not like all of the BS of Facebook.

It’s just real people and drama free…so far. lol

Of course, it’s new and they aren’t letting in a whole lot of people while it’s in Beta. I do have invites and I’m asking people who want them to contact me through Twitter or Facebook to ask for them. I will gladly send them along.

If you’re already on Google+, here is the link to my page, and I will be linking it on the right side as well:

I’ll probably be writing again a little later on about Google+ when I have more people in my circle…whatever that means! LOL

Seriously though, if you want to try it out and need an invite…contact me on Facebook or Twitter and I’ll send you one!

Happy Canada Day!

July 1, 2011 | By Heidi | Filed Under: holidays | Leave a Comment

canada

I want to take a moment to wish all of my Canadian friends a very Happy Canada Day!!

I assume that this day is similar to the USA’s 4th of July or Independence Day, whichever you prefer to call it, so I looked it up.

Via a Canadian Heritage page:

We are proud of the nation we have built together over the last 144 years. Since the earliest days of our history, Canada has been a land of promise. We have built a society that celebrates achievement and excellence, while at the same time maintaining a strong respect for human rights. Our participation in Celebrate Canada activities brings us together, strengthens our communities, and helps us understand the significance of the citizenship we all share.

A couple more links:

Canada Day Background

And then here is a little something I find hilarious…and well, this is really kind of how I feel!!!

someecards.com - Canada Day is a great reminder to move to Canada if any of the current Republican presidential candidates win

Haha…Happy Canada Day everyone!!
