GeekSugar Foursquare Launches BlackBerry App Jan 22, 2010 9:30 AM Finally, BlackBerry users can easily keep up with their friends on Foursquare with an app. Though the popular social site has both iPhone and Android applications, a BlackBerry app was conspicuously absent. If you're not familiar, Foursquare is a social application that allows you to "check in" to public places — bars, restaurants, bus stops, wherever — and also view where your friends have checked in. You earn badges for a certain number of check-ins, or for checking into certain types of places (I was far too excited to receive the "Don't Stop Believin'" badge for my presence in a number of karaoke venues). They announced recently that they'd moved from a city-only model to supporting Foursquare everywhere , meaning any venue anywhere is fair game for check-ins. I have a few BlackBerry-toting friends who will be excited they no longer have to use the web browser on their BBs to access Foursquare. Installation instructions and answers to FAQs are posted on the Foursquare site .
lauren Words with Friends is Verbosely Fun Jan 20, 2010 10:54 AM My brother a while back mentioned Words with Friends is his new favorite app, it took me a while to download but it is a ton of fun! There is pay version as well as a free application, I went free. The advertisements are slightly intrusive but since you are not always playing, it is easy to ignore. With this app, you can play scrabble at your own pace with contacts, facebook or twitter friends. If you are competitive and don't mind spelling, download it...
GeekSugar Download a Retro-Style Flip Clock Screensaver Jan 20, 2010 7:30 AM Similar to the Flip Clock iPhone App , the Fliqlo screensaver is a throwback to the pretty vintage alarm clock. It's free to download, and available for PC or Mac. Once downloaded and selected, the screensaver turns your screen into one giant flip clock. I love its retro feel and simple design, and the large display makes the time visible from across the room. Have you found a cool download-worthy treasure you'd like to share with the rest of us?

GeekSugar Use Photos to Search With Google Goggles For Android Phones Jan 18, 2010 10:00 AM Rarely does a new app blow me away the way that Google Goggles has. Billed as a new way to search for Android phones, the application allows you to search using a photo instead of words. Just take a photo with your phone and upload it to the app. After analyzing the photo with a rather dramatic-looking scanner, Google returns appropriate search results. You can scan just about anything for results — a piece of art, a food label, a logo, the outside of your favorite restaurant. The app also tells you what's around you. You can stand on the sidewalk with your phone pointed at a restaurant or business and Google Goggles uses location-based searching to show what other businesses or landmarks are nearby. Spin in a circle and they'll change as you point your phone in any direction. Or, take a photo of a business card you'd like to add to your contacts and the app will scan it and add it in for you. I'm only getting started with this app, but so far it's quite impressive. To download, go to the Android Market on your phone and search for "Google Goggles," and check out Google Goggles' site for more details and a how-to video.

GeekSugar Download of the Day: Apimac Timer Jan 8, 2010 1:15 PM Even though the time is constantly displayed in the upper righthand corner of my Mac, I sometimes find the day completely getting away from me — plus, I tend to work better under pressure. I'm really excited about the latest version of the Apimac Timer , which can be used as a stopwatch, countdown timer, or alarm clock. Want to set a 30-minute limit on your lunchtime web surfing? Just set the countdown for 30 minutes. Want to see how long it takes you to accomplish a certain task? Set the stopwatch. (There's something pretty exciting about working against the clock, don't you think?) To find out what else is cool about the Apimac Timer, just . My favorite feature of this alarm in particular is that you can set it to play any song from your iTunes library instead of some random or annoying alarm clock sound. In addition to song-playing, you can also set the alarm to announce the time or play any sound file, and if you upgrade to the pro version of the application for $30, you can set many of the computer's functions to a timer, like sending emails, restarting or shutting down the computer, and more. If you don't have an Apple computer, I've mentioned this timer widget for your desktop — also helpful for increasing productivity.
