iPad app review: App Notifications goes 2.0 & why it's my most used & favorite iPhone/iPad app


I get the feeling that if you ask many iPhone or iPad users what is there favorite app you’ll hear a range of apps being games or books or entertainment apps. For me it’s simple app called App Notifications (@appnotification on Twitter). So what does App Notifications do? Well, it does a lot but to keep it simple, it pushes custom content to my iPhone and now my iPad in real-time as it’s created/published. The content can range from RSS feeds, email, Twitter searches and more. I first started using App Notifications a few months ago on my iPhone and fell in love with it as it keeps me updated when tech news and other information have been published and in today’s time sensitive world having news pushed to you vs you have to go out and find it can save you some time. Also making you look smart at the same time by being current on what’s happening on the blogosphere. :) But remember you have to set up filters, add your feeds and that App Notifications just delivers the content to your device.


App Notifications is not free and does have subscription model for alerts but depending on your industry it’s worth it as you can also use it as a twitter keyword monitoring app. Hey, good service cost.

Recently App Notifications released App Notifications 2.0 for the iPad and iPhone and it work/looks great.

Here’s the pitch from http://www.appnotifications.com

What is the purpose of your application?
Push is an iPhone App that acts as a client for the Apple Push Notification Service. We support push from RSS feeds, Google Voice, Facebook, Twitter, Email, 3rd party with a standard API. We even include a REST API. We also support multiple devices syncing if you own more than one iPhone/iPod Touch device.

We also have a full featured website available at 4push.com (use a desktop browser) where you can read your notifications, change your settings and more.

App Notifications is an iPhone app that acts as a client for the Apple Push Notification Service.
Use our ready-made Twitter, GMail, Google Voice, and RSS notification services to instantly receive new tweets, search results, emails, RSS feeds, or create your own custom notifications with our simple REST API.


If your looking for similar apps, you may want to try Notifo made by NC friend/developer @Jazzychad. Both are great apps either way.

*Disclaimer this is not a sponsored post and they did not ask me to blog about their apps.

What is your favorite iPhone and/or iPad app?

Adding Twitter's Anywhere & Facebook Like to TriOut for online location-based engagement & brand awareness

Originally posted on http://TriOutNC.com

Over the past few weeks both Twitter and Facebook have made announcements about new features allowing users to add to their existing web presence increasing engagement and brand awareness. For Twitter it was the announcement of Anywhere that gives you the ability to activate Hovercards wherever you mention a Twitter account on your website. For Facebook it was the new social plugin “Like” button that allows website owners to add a like button to their website and when someone clicks on the button it shows on their Facebook profile wall.

Today we’re pleased to announced that we have integrated both Twitter’s Anywhere and Facebook’s “Like” button on the TriOutNC.com website. To use Twitter’s Anywhere services just go a user’s profile page or a location page that has a Twitter account. Then hover your mouse over the Twitter name and a Hovercard will pop-up allowing you to follow the Twitter Name if you’re already logged into Twitter. See the examples below:

To see how the Facebook Like button works just visit any location page such as the 3Cups TriOut Page and you’ll see Facebook Like button in the details box. If your already logged into Facebook and click on the “Like” button it will show your Facebook profile icon saying you liked the location and it will also show on your Facebook wall that you “liked” the location. Examples below:

Also we added our email newsletter subscription sign-up form to the footer of the website. Previously it was only available on the blog sidebar. Now you can sign-up anywhere on the website, something I recommend you do as we have a few major announcements that we’re going to make soon.

Another update was to bring more awareness of our new mobile website m.TriOutNC.com and our presence in Apple’s iTunes app store. Therefore we added banners above the leadeboard section of the website.

Lastly we added another location where you can sign into or create your TriOut account. For example if you do a search for “coffee” in the results you see on right the following box below.

That’s it for now and we hope you like the updates. Between the changes above along with the implementation of TriOut being included into Check.In, founder/developer Lawrence Ingraham has been very busy.

Let us know what you think about the updates and thanks for the support!

*Disclaimer: I’m a partner in TriOut where I serve as the business development/marketing strategist.

Have you added either the Facebook Like button or Twitter’s Anywhere hovercard to your website?
