Facebook and iPhone
There was a side-effect from my trip to LA… that I am now hooked on Facebook way after everyone else did like years ago. But only on the iPhone though, I still almost never go onto the Facebook site. It’s only the well designed iPhone app that I am addicted to. The Facebook app on iPhone is very streamline and it loaded very quickly even on EDGE, it has all the most popular functions from posting status to the wall to the chat to tagging pictures to approving friends to your inbox, it’s all there. Because of the app’s speedy update, along with the fact that the Facebook is now liberated from your desktop by the iPhone, its much easier to follow what’s going on with everyone at any minute. No longer will you log on to Facebook once in a blue moon and has no idea what is going on with everyone or you always missed the timing to comment on your friend’s latest status by like a few days. Facebook and iPhone somehow fit together very effectively just like Twitter. I was constantly bored during my trip in LA where I was stuck in traffic in the car the entire time, so this app totally saved me from boredom. But of course, the habit of checking the app all the time formed as a result, now I am checking it whenever I am walking out or eating lunch.
Speaking of iPhone apps, I recently discovered a Chinese app that is good for keeping up with HK news, the app is called Reading, and it’s just an RSS reader specifically for the yahoo hk news rss. So what you get is fast update on all the news articles from HK. You get to customize the main buttons (news categories) on the bottom just like the NYTimes app! The only downside is that it doesn’t allow offline viewing like NYTimes or AP’s news app. Therefore I can’t read the news when I was in the subway. Hopefully this functionality will be coming soon!
