As you know I am a profound iPod touch. I take it everwhere. I listen to music, text people with Textfree, IM people with the AIM app, chat with the Facebook app and so much more. Well today I will explain why you should use these apps.
1. AOL Instant Messenger (AIM): This is a great application because so many people have it. With iPhone 3.0, you notified of IM even when you aren’t in the app! This can be handy because you might be browsing the Web and someone wants to chat. Without this feature you might not even realize they IMed you until they are offline. You can also text people for free. However the person must allow you to receive texts from them before they start receiving them. If you are on the Web then they also offer a web version called AIM Express. This app is free!
2. Textfree: If you are like me and absolutely love texting then you will love this app. We all know that texting can get pretty pricey so this app is for everybody. This app allows you to send text messages to any mobile number in the US for free. No questions asked. This app will run you at $5.99 however if you bought it after June 17, 2009 then that is only a year of texting. You must renew it every year, so I have heard. This app also supports Push Notifications.
3. Facebook: If you aren’t using Facebook then you must be living under a rock. Facebook is currently the most popular social networking site out there and they offer a complementary iPhone app for their users. It allows you to view status updates, view profiles, comment, view comments, chat with people, view your inbox and so much more! This app is free but does not currently support Push Notifications.
I hope you enjoy these apps as much as I do! They are very fun and productive!!
