New Discovery Tool: SkyGrid

Okay, it doesn’t discover movies for you, but it does help you track those subjects that are of interest to you. I have just started to use it, so I don’t have much to report on it yet. Stay tuned.

You can check it out on iTunes here.

Hat tip to David Tisch for pointing this out to me!

Free Gift! Great New Translator App

Happy Holidays.  If you aren’t in the millions that have already heard of this, add WordLens to the list of must-have apps (InstaPaper still being my fave).  No longer worry when they hand you the foreign language menu…

12/27 Update:  Okay, I was wrong.  The presentation only made it look free. It costs $4.95.  I agree with all the comments that this is deceptive and they should offer a true initial platform gratis and then have the add-ons cost.  I bummed.  Kind of like the toy that looks really great but breaks right off the bat.  Dang.

 

Dowload it for your iPhone here.
