The release of the official Android client of the popular photo-editing and sharing app, Instagram, has to be lauded as a massive success. In a matter of a couple of months of its release in the Google Play Store, the app has seen an overwhelming response in terms of the number of downloads. In fact, Instagram now enjoys the status of being the best Android app from the social genre. Having said that, you can still find quite a few third-party Instagram clients for Android that focus on the features that the official app is currently lacking in. One good example of such app is Instamap that, at best, can be cited as a fine amalgamation of Google Maps and Instagram. Fresh to the Google Play Store, Instamap lets you explore geo-tagged Instagram photos on Google Maps. Using the app, you can navigate to virtually any part of the globe from where you wish to view various images shared by avid Instagram users. Whether you wish to explore your surroundings through Instagram-med photos, or want to check out the photographic taste of the users from Poland, Instamap is your best bet for now. Read More

Apparently, the term “timeline” is a favorite among everyone these days. There used to be just a Twitter timeline previously, until Facebook adopted the idea as well. To be honest, arranging your online life in a chronological order does give things a more ordered and neat look, and maybe that’s why the idea has caught on with considerable success. Photo Timeline is an app for Windows Phone 7 that brings essentially the same concept to a much more basic level. The app arranges all the photos in the camera roll of your WP7 device according to the time they were snapped on. In Photo Timeline, each active day has its own slot, with all its photos stacked against it. The app also has menus to let you view your photos on its calendar, or on a map integrated within the app. Read More

However, that app has a few limitations. For example, it is not possible to track devices on different iCloud accounts, and you cannot see all your devices on a single map, and have to keep switching between maps to track each iDevice.

Merging the concept of real-time location and message sharing, FlockThere is an extremely useful Android and iOS app that helps you learn of your contacts’ current locations who might be on their way to attending an event. Imagine the facility of having an app at your disposal that shows the geographical position of all your invitees/guests on map, so that you know exactly where they are, and when to expect them to arrive at the event location. What’s even better is that using FlockThere, you can stay in touch with all those contacts via chat messages. In short, FlockThere provides you with real-time location of your guests on map, and helps you stay apprised of their progress/journey via text messages; all info shared on the same screen. All you need to do is create and send a new Flock invitation to your contacts via the app, and start tracking them in real-time. Invitations can be sent to the contact’s email ID or phone number, and the best part about the entire deal is that you can keep adding/removing participants from a Flock even after it has been created. Provided your contacts/guests are already on FlockThere, they can reply directly from within the app. Even if they do not have the app on their devices, they can still keep in touch with you via the service’s web-enabled chat interface (requires internet connection of some sort).

The function keys at the top of the keyboard are mapped by default to perform some global functions, such as F1 for help, F3 for search and F5 for refresh, and some application specific functions, like F11 switches browsers to full screen mode. In laptops, and some modern desktop keyboards, extended media controls are also available, which can be accessed by combining the media control key with an additional key, such as Ctrl, Alt or Windows keys (Alt+F4 for closing applications, for example). However, there’s no default option to remap the keys to perform functions of your choice. Today we have an application for you that allows you to remap all the Function keys available on your keyboard and increase their utility for you. SFunKey is a lightweight tool for Windows that allows users to have additional operations for your functions keys without disturbing the default mapping. More on SFunKey after the break. Read More

Keeping a close tab on the latest global news of the hour, as well as the tweets flowing in from your trusted sources requires some effort. For one, you must have a capable news reader installed, plus, a Twitter client that can keep you apprised of the required news bits. While you may find plenty of alternatives to serve both said purposes effectively, if working on suggested solutions sounds a tad too hectic to you, then you need to try LocoBuzz - a free location-based Android app that displays some of the top news stories of the hour along with celebrity tweets on the world map. The app’s concept is somewhat similar to recently reviewed Global Feed, which allows users to explore news relevant to their chosen category on a rotating 3D globe. While Global Feed also supported displaying weather conditions of some of the world’s top cities on the globe, LocoBuzz takes a different route by adding a bit of social media flavor with the option to view celebrity tweets and the location where they were posted from. That’s not all, you can tap on any news story of interest to explore it in detail (from browser) or share it on your Facebook Wall right from within the app. Read More
