The radio has been dying lately. Many of us only have FM radios because they come equipped on our iPod docks, and we only listen to it in the car. This means we have to explore new ways of discovering new music. The evolution of the Internet has led us to look online for more [...]
Finally, at long last I have found a Facebook app that doesn’t make me want to tear my hair out in pure rage. No, I am not talking about Farmville. I am actually talking about two Facebook apps with a real purpose. A purpose for more than just wasting time planting farms; these apps encourage [...]
