Innovative Travel Apps - Discoverful & Sightsmap

The Earth has been explored and charted, leaving us with virtually nothing to discover. When we travel, we usually visit locations which have already been visited thousands of times. While preparing for the trip, we use travel apps with ratings and recommendations of sights and hotels. In other words: everything is served to us, and it takes away all the fun of travelling.

Luckily, the developers of Discoverful and Sightsmap – two original and innovative travel apps – decided to create something different. Knowing that people prefer visual content to reading not-always-literate essays, they presented a new approach to choosing your next destination. Both apps rely on photography and bring back the feeling of truly discovering something new, and still manage to be as useful as their competitors.

Ubuntu Webapps

Ubuntu webapps are something that get highlighted on the Ubuntu website. Webapps are becoming quite popular, I actually make use of a couple of them daily with the Google Drive Chrome Webapp and the Hootsuite one.

Ubuntu 12.10 brings with it the ability to use Unity webapps and integrate them directly with your desktop. But what does that mean?

Different webapps work in different ways that make sense to the specific service. Webapps for news sites, like BBC News (bbc.co.uk/news), will give you notifications of the latest and breaking news on your desktop. The Facebook webapp and other social apps gives pop-ups about messages and tells you when there's other updates in your social streams to check. Music site webapps allow you to play music in your desktop from the web by hooking into the notifications menu. There's a load of sites that already have Unity webapps but thousands more websites could be turned into Ubuntu webapps too.

Great Value App!

From the creators of Flying Fun comes Geek Me, a new and feature packed face manipulation app!

Geek Me is a new take on the normal Fat Booth style of app which transforms the user into a geek. There are similar Geekify apps currently on the App Store, but Geek Me is packed with a heap of extra ways to customise and change your images. The FREE app allows you to add glasses, braces and acne to your face. A very cheap $0.99 payment unlocks ginger hair, more glasses to choose from and the ability to change the colour of your braces (as well as diabling those annoying ads).

"It's a simple app, but a great laugh! Very funny to transform your friends into geeks and show them later!"

Share your final images to Twitter or Facebook and celecrate your inner geek!
