Tech Post: IMO Messenger (Mobile App)

I'm not sure, but I may have posted about this app earlier, but since I use it daily, I want to make sure I tell others about it!

Yes, there is an app for my iPhone that I like a lot! It’s called IMO Instant Messenger. The best part is that it simply has the ability to pull all of messenger accounts together under one app. Facebook chat, Skype, MSN, Google Talk, MySpace, Yahoo, and more! A great way to be able to stay online with each IM client, and not have to switch between apps.

There are several awesome features, including copy and paste! I also like the fact that it keeps you signed on for a week without taking you off after several hours.
 
It’s also FREE! And there is now news that it will be getting an awesome update on Tuesday... hooray! ;)

TECH: Springfield Gets Real-Time Traffic Data

I ran across something cool the other day. Last Tuesday, Springfield became one of 130 cities in the nation that got real-time traffic data on Google Maps. This special feature is available on the Google Maps website and smartphone apps, and allows you to see the flow of traffic on the city's main roads.

The idea is great, and perfect for those wanting to avoid heavy traffic. I can see drivers who are constantly making trips around town to benefit the most.

Yes, I think this is a neat feature, however... I encourage those who use it on their smartphone to do so when not driving! Perhaps at a stoplight, but for the safety of others on the road, I don't want you to be distracted while the vehicle is in motion.

Drive safely!!!

"Draw Something" Art of the Week!

As I have posted before, one of my favorite games is "Draw Something". It's addicting, and fun at the same time! As you might guess, this game is perfect for me. I love to draw. It's a challenge to do this with your finger on a small screen (my iPhone), and be able to make it easy for my opponent to guess. If you want to play, I'm ready!

Here are some examples of my art from the past week:
