With all the advancements in the world today smart phones are taking over everything. If you want to do some thing, just pull it up on your phone. games, entertainment, education, and many more themed apps that are fun and amazing.
What I plan on doing is sharing with you my 2 favorite apps, and showing you why they are so great.
#2 app.
America First Banking app
I Love this App! This app makes everything so much easier, i used to have to everything online on my computer. well not anymore! I can check my checking and savings account, transfer money between my personal accounts and other america first users, and the best part is, I can deposit checks right from my phone! thats right, i simple snap a picture of the front and back of my check, select where i want it to be deposited and bam! the money is my account! I now never have to go to the bank to deposit a check! its simple amazing!
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/america-first-credit-union/id450324535?mt=8
#1 app.
I am T-Pain
This is an entertainment app, which i personally love and have lots of fun with friends all at the same time! This app allows users to feel like the music artist T-Pain who is famous for his music with Auto-tune. what it does is it plays the beat to a song and shows you the lyrics, it then lets you sing into the microphone of the phone and your voice is changed! its fun and everyone seems to love it!

Viral videos!
If there is one thing that I love wasting time on, it's YouTube videos! And the reason is probably because those YouTube videos that are big and popular hits just seem to always put me in a good mood! It's typically because all the viral (popular) videos are funny videos! An I love to laugh. But there is sooo much power behind having a video that becomes viral. Just ask Justin Beiber himself!
When Justin was just a little guy he loved music and would post videos of him singing song and playing instruments and a man in Atlanta saw how popular his videos were getting and he said this kid has potential. So he flew Justin and his mother to Atlanta, met with the producer and Usher (singer/songwriter) and the kid got a record label! Now he is making millions of dollars!!!
I'm hoping to make it big someday! Maybe a viral video will be my gateway!
This is one of the videos that launched Justin's Carrer!

URL shorteners. And etc.
Ever been on twitter and someone you are following tweets and then they have a link below that says Bit.ly and then some weird random letters follow bit.ly?? Ever wonder what that is? Well I did, in fact I was a little bit afraid to click on the link because I thought the person I followed had been hacked, and I didn't want to click the link for fear of getting hacked!
But actually this little guy, but.ly is now my new best friend! Bitly.com is what's considered a URL shortener. So say you want to copy a link to your twitter from an amazing story on espn.com but the URL in itself is so long that it doesn't allow you to express your opinion about that article. Sooooo that's why we have bitly.comat this website you paste a long URL in the box and then bam! Your long link has been shortened to a small bit.ly link easy to copy and paste! Wonderful, wonderful, just wonderful!!!
And just to wrap things up, I learned that. URL shorteners are not just to make things convenient for things such as twitter. But it also is used to beautify a link. And I found that interesting cause it's true. Some links are sooo nasty long and full of equal, and, exclamation, at, and other random signs that just clump things up! This I feel is a great thing! Do people do me a favor and use URL shorteners!

Businesses and social media.
Recently I have been interested in businesses and musicians and how they interact with their fan base. Back in the day they used to travel to people's house and surprise then with gifts or just the greatness of the appearance of famous music artist.
But nowadays you do see that too often... When was the last time you saw Macklemore or Mumford and sons go and knock on somebody's and says what's up? Probably never. So I started looking into how they interact with their fan base, and I've noticed that they do it through social media! And this is how I found that out.
One day I was on twitter and one of my favorite artists (Hoodie Allen) was tweeting about how he just released new tour dates but I didn't see anywhere that he was coming to utah.. So I tweeted at him, and I asked him when he was coming to utah! He later tweeted back at me with the link to SLC tickets and a few words to get me stoked for the concert! I was so pumped that I had just got a tweet from hoodie Allen! I told everyone about it, and even told it to people who didn't even know who he was. An I noticed that those people who didn't know him, began listening to his music and started to like his stuff. Through social media Hoodie Allen was able to expand his fan base simply through a small tweet to @sicnarf1232.
To wrap things up, my sister in law last week asked me to help set up the following social media accounts: Facebook,Pinterest,etsy,twitter, and eBay. For her new small business Mayah Bella Bows. Which is a small business that she runs from her basement, where she makes Bows for littles girls hair. They are really quick amazing bows that she makes and they are giant so it over takes the baby's head! It's essential for her to get her product out there and available online for people to see what she is doing! So keep your eye out for that new business and buy some bows for your kids!

getting Hacked - Internet Ethics
Every once in a while i tend to get a private message in my twitter account from a friend that is close to me, but as i read the message i then realize its not my friend talking because it just doesnt sound like them. For example the message i received from one of my good friends said the following "have you seen these pictures of you, sooo embarrassing." it then had a link to follow. Luckily i knew it was a trap for some time of privacy violation.
a lot of times it seems to me that people are just a little careless with their platforms and allow them to easily get hacked. I cant tell you the number of times i have borrowed a friends computer to check my Facebook, and i go to facebook.com and its already logged into my friends account. So like any good friend would do, I post something really embarrassing as their status and then i log out. haha, you gotta have some fun and in the end teach your friend a lesson!
As I was looking into this online, i found on mashable how to keep your twitter account safe and free from getting hacked. and the number one thing that showed up, of course the most annoying... having a long and strong password! nobody likes using a long password it takes to long to type in, a 4 digit pin would be so much preferable especially this one 1234. check out the link below, its quite easy as to how to protect your twitter!

Applebee's bout to get cray!
Applebee's huh? Pretty classy... Well for those of you who haven't heard about what went down its actually pretty interesting. So a party came into Applebee's to eat some grub, and because it was a large party, automatic gratuity was added to the bill. Standard 18 percent. In return the buyer paid the money and on top of the receipt wrote "I give God 10% why do you get 18?" The waitress took a picture and posted it on the website reddit.com..... Bad idea.
Because reddit.com is such a huge social media platform that if something interesting is posted, it easily becomes viral. Well this story became viral! All the way until the point where I am writing a blog about it. So why is this such a big story? Well let me tell you.
Turns out, the waitress who posted that picture of the receipt on reddit was eventually fired for doing so because she violated the customer privacy policy, and social media policy of Applebee's. this too me blew my mind!!!! Yes it was wrong gor her to post this online. But it DID NOT violate the privacy of the customer because if you look at the picture of tr receipt, it has no information of the man who wrote the crude comment. Social media is a helpful thing in our world, but some people use it for the wrong purposes and other really are getting hurt.

type or Skype?
With so many things developing in the Social Media world we tend forget that people used to communicate with each other. Call friends and just chat, write letters to family who live far away. in other words take time to communicate with those who are near and dear.
But then this thing called Social Media came along, and kind of destroyed all hopes of that. facebook, twitter, texting, instagram and etc. now we only communicate via social media. I couldnt tell you the last time I sat down to write a letter to a friend across the world, or even picked up the phone to have a good conversation. We are indeed starting to loose sight of things.
With all of this technological advancement some good things have developed! amazing right!?! one of which, is Skype! Skype is good, Skype is great! so what is Skype? Skype is a Distant communication platform, which means you can communicate with people from a long distance! makes sense right??
Skype allows people to do phone calls, but with video features, so you can look the people right in the eyes and talk to them! its a great development that has helped people to contunue to communicate in a normal way. face to face, voice to voice and really get to see the expressions people have on their faces, really be able to SEE the happiness in someones voice!
Im all for distance communication platforms and collaboration platforms.
