Facebook Application Review of Ki Work Bounce

If you know answer but if you Don't Bounce it in FACEBOOK

Hi my Friends, today in this facebook blog I will make the review of a new facebook application called Ki Work Bounce.

In my opinion this facebook application is aiming to what the future of Facebook will be where not only fun and entreteinment are going to be the main concerns for new application developments but also applications related with the professional aspects of every user that spends hours online with his facebook window opened. Following that, Now I can understand why services such as Linked-in should start worrying, because now is the time for Facebook applications developers to make the next move that definetly will go in the same direction as this new app.

Now talking strictly about ki Work Bounce we find ourselves with a networking application for people who work online. Either you are looking for an answer related to your job, or looking for a new job you can do it easily and fast with Ki Work Bounce, you send this to your contacts, and two things can happen.

  1. Your request reached the right person, so you get a solution for your problem
  2. Your request can not be answer by your contacts, but they know somebody that might be useful for you, so they simply Bounce to you the request.
Either ways, you really squize the network to get what you need.

So in their words this are the options that this Facebook Application offers.


  • Bounce a Professional Request, Ask any kind of professional questions, that your contacts might be able to reply you, or if they can't they probably know somebody that could do it so they just need to bounce your request.
  • Bounce Online Work Offers, there's nothing better than asking to your Facebook Friends if they are interested, and if not people who they would recommend for your job vacancy!!, (Networking at it's maximum expression)
  • Bounce Online Work Projects, you can write a summary of the projects you are intereted to share with the online world either to find a partner or sell it to somenone else, first starting with your contacts in Facebook followed by their contacts on and on bouncing again and again.
So following all this when we open this Facebook application we find 5 tabs.

  1. Create Bounce, here is where all the magic starts!
  2. My Bounces, to keep record of how they are doing and if they got any reply
  3. Friend's Bounces, here is where the networking starts to shine!!
  4. Ki Space, will take to your Ki Work Bounce account (you can make one for free)
  5. Ki Work Bounce Group, a fancy way to call the about us tab!
So my friend's My review for this application that I personally think is going in the right direction is 4 out of 5, taking into account that all the potential of this Facebook Application resides on the amount of people that will install it and effectively use it, as all the applications developed to make use of social networking, the more people, the application gains more strength!!

So get it done, whether You are the one to reply for the request you received, or just by taking part of the whole game by bouncing the request!!

Facebook Application Review of Biotrend by Matthias Zeitler


Listen to the Rhythm!! now in FACEBOOK




Hey there, this week starts and new Facebook applications show up in this blog to be reviewed. Today's application is called Biotrend, so first what's first, defining what a Trend is and then understanding what is a Biotrend!!!.

"A trend is nothing but the general direction of the price of an asset or market in general."

So now moving straight to our Facebook application Biotrend.

This facebook application bases it’s function on the theory of biorhythms that basically claims that everybody’s life is affected by rhythmic biological cycles, and some predictions can be made based on this. Here is a little explanation of what we are talking about !!!

There are according to the theory used in this application three cyclic rhythms that are said to govern human behavior inherent rhythms

  • Emotional rhythm

  • Physical rhythm

  • Intellectual rhythm
Each of these rhythms goes through three different phases; high, low and critical. And they begin at the moment of birth, go through different periods, and continue to influence us throughout our whole life. Each of the biorhythms reflect certain capabilities/potential of the person.So to the Biotrend application!

When we open this Facebook application, first we appreciatte not being forced to invite all our friends or at leat 20 of them to get better vibes!!!, and then we find ourselves with a really user friendly screen.

First going through the set up of this facebook application where we simply have to write our date of birth and fill some checkbox just to tell which results do we want this facebook application to show us. After this, this app, works very smooth.

After you set up your date of birth, lot's of graphics (by the way really nice ones) telling us all our rhythms cycles each day plus some highlights, and bad days we will have to face during this year will be displayed in our "My Biotrend" tab.

Plus this interesting results and predictions, we have some other nice sticky options in this application, such as our Chinesse Zodiac, which by the way I never knew which one I was and now Thank's to the Biotrends Facebook application I know I am a Rooster and because I do not know if that's good or bad I am gonna spend some time reading the description of my Chinese Zodiac provided in this Facebook application.

Plus the option!!, yes Option you read to send this nice application to our friends and check our Zodiac compatibility.

So in general I really liked this application, it works fine it's really friendly and has lots of interesting info for those that really enjoy this kind of applications!!!. My qualification is 4 out of 5, My recommendation is that If you are interested in this topic, no doubt about this Facebook Application called Biotrend is a Must.

Cheers, and enjoy!!

Facebook Application Politics in Canada by Shawn Peterson

FACEBOOK APPLICATION to raise your voice in Politics....but in Canada!!


Today on this facebook blog, we will review a new facebook application called "Politics in Canada. And because of the topic, and because I AM NOT FROM CANADA, I asked my good friend Dan from Toronto to do this review for me.

Good luck my friend, Now it's your time to shine!!!

The application called Politics in Canada was developed by Shawn Peterson Consulting, that is company focused on developing web-based applications for the political sector.





Writing as a young Canadian(YEs!! that's Dan my good friend), I could engage in intelligent discussion about hockey for hours but when it comes to politics I must confess that my knowledge is somewhat scarce.

This interesting facebook application is intended to raise awareness among people in hopes that they will get more involved in the political process, especially the young public that spends so many hours on Facebook.

So once you install this facebook app, you can choose which political party you support as well as invite your friends to do the same as a way to raise your voice and involvement. So now maybe after reading a little bit more and getting more in touch with the actual reality of the politics in Canada, you have a new topic to engage in some intelligent conversation with that cute someone you've been checking in on, OBVIOUSLY IF YOU ARE IN CANADA - otherwise do not bring up that topic!!! LOL.

So getting back to the application, curious about which party has the most support in the Yukon or Saskatchewan? Not to worry. This facebook application allows you to see trends in support for all provinces or if you want the country as a whole.


This nifty application is quick and easy to use. It has a nice interface with guiding tabs that allows the user to easily perform all the desired actions. Unfortunately, descriptions of parties, and their policies are net yet available. These would be very helpful in helping rookie users decide which party they should consider supporting. The party tab does have links to their website and wikipedia entry and in some cases facebook-group page which is somewhat helpful.

A message board would be a good addition to the facebook application so that members could discuss and obtain even more information with regards to what is going on with politics and specific parties. Lastly it would be nice to know something about the politicians that make up the parties both regionally and nationally. As the application grows, and gathers more members, it has potential to seriously influence the way todays youth vote, and thus the outcome of future elections.

The application is an excellent idea and at the same time has a lot of room to grow and improve.

My current grade would have to be a 3.0 out of 5. A great idea for the true north strong and free that should be expanded as it grows larger and larger.

PS: This is me Daniel (not Canadian). Can somebody tell me why you did not mention at all that there is a party fighting to legalize pot!!! What's wrong with the Canadians!!!!

Thank you very vey much my Friend!!


Cheers.

Facebook Application Review of Group Talk by Rebtel

With Facebook you can talk with everybody at the same time!!!

Today's Facebook Review is about a total different type of application that the ones we've been doing in the lasts posts of this blog. The application to be reviewed is called Group Talk and it was developed by Rebtel one of the biggest VoiceIp providers in the Internet.

Basically this new Facebook application lets users set up a free conference calls than can include all type of users included Facebook and non- Facebook in 40 countries all around the world

Once we have installed the application the first thing we have to do is to write down our phone number so as to set up our account, and from there on this simple application works pretty much as all the websites that provide VoIP (Voice Ip service- Phone calls through the internet) with some interesting features to be considerate that really interact with the Facebook environment.

This system work as this picture explains. Smooth and simple, you just have to add the person you want to call with all the details such as country+city code+phone number and you will receive according to your choice either an email or SMS with a local phone number. From there on the only thing that you have to do is call that local number that will link your Call with your friends in the other side of the globe.

Simply and fast. Another good thing about this application is that once you received that local phone number you can save it in your contacts list to use it whenever you want to hear the news from abroad.

Now moving to the interaction of this application with the Facebook platform we can see how the Group Talk call feature can be done very fast and easily. The person who sets up the call enters their Facebook friends’ names, and walla!!!... can then make the call private – just for the people invited – or public, which makes the call open to any of their friends who want to join.

Also you have the option to include people who are not Facebook users. To do this the person setting up the call has to enter participants’ names, phone numbers (either mobile or landline) and their email addresses. Finishing with a really useful tool that lets the first person who joins a conference call, to call all of the other invited participants to let them know the Group Talk session is starting. Like an invitation call!!

So in conclusion, for people like me living abroad with so many friends to call and so many hours spend in websites providing services like this application does, group talk is a really interesting application that let's me stay checking all my stuffs in my facebook plus get conected for free in some cases, or at really cheap rates with a great quality of sound. Last New Year's eve I made around 10 international calls, next year I might only need to schedule one, and enjoy the company of my fellows leaving far away from me.!!!

My qualification is 4 out of 5 works nice, and smooth, and goes in the direction that all Facebook applications should go... include services that we use to look outside in different website, inside!!.

Cheers!! and let's get conferenced!!!

Facebook Application (Fluff) Friends




Fluff - My beloved new Facebook Friend Feed him!!!

Today's Facebook Application review is about this cute application named Fluff, starting up with some good memories of my childhood with my tomodachy key chain....

OK, getting started then after all this Facebook blog has to post interesting reviews for you so you can decide which new application you want to show in your Facebook Profile.

Fluff friends is an interesting application that starts with a wide offer of cute pets to adopt that are looking for a place where to be....(that means Facebook)



So following the line you first get to pick out of a long and really extended list of nice pets which one you would like to take to your Facebook welcome page, and from there on you and your friends are responsible of taking care of this little creature, that will be named by it's owner, by petting it, feeding it, or just visiting it and leaving a message on it's Fluff book profile.


After all this is done, we will have in our Facebook our little pet, like I do.... so I would like to introduce you to MARTA my dragon!!! or better said in terms of this application a Dragun!!!


In this interesting world more than application, that seriously is something really different from all the other apps reviewed on this blog, you also have money which can be used to buy different things for our pet, such as food, environments, and toys (that are mini fluffs).

So there are many different ways to make money for your facebook pet called fluff, one of them is the ABC in this type of applications that is by inviting to some of your friends to install it and use it... and the second and fun way is by organizing races between fluffs and betting "munney" on them!!.

Facebook Application Which Simspons Character Are you?

Please Application!!---I want to Be HOMER SIMPSON -



"I'm BartThe official Simpsons badass. Power and reputation are everything and you love showing off. You don''t take lip from nobody...you''re Bart!"




Yes... This was the result I've got after I finished my quiz on the Facebook Application Which Simpsons Character are you... Simply following the line of the previous review with the plus that we all love the simpsons and while we are reading all the questions on this application we can instantly to who each of the answers belong....

So maybe we can say that the results that we get are not big surprises although I thought before the quiz started that I might get a different result.


It's fun and fast, I liked it maybe and only maybe I can not dislike something related with the best cartoon ever made for all ages.

My qualification is 3.5 out of 5, not less because it's a Simpsons Application, not more because beside 1o fast and easy questions of the quiz there's nothing interesting left to do with this Facebook application.!!

Facebook Application Will You Be a Multimillionaire?

MULTIMILLIONAIRE on the Way...thank you FACEBOOK


Today's Review is about the Facebook Application called "Will you be a Multimillionaire? which is a really simply and not really sticky app, but does Ok.


The main thing is a big display window with around 20 random questions covering most of the basic information that they need to know about you so as to predict which are the chances for you to be a Millionaire.... sorry I am wrong a MULTIMILLIONAIRE.


So moved for that burning desire inside of me!! (not really), I answered all the questions to get this result!!.


"Your Chances of Being a Multimillionaire: 72% You have a very good chance of becoming a multimillionaire. In fact, you have a better chance than most people.You have a natural aptitude for money management and a personality suited for success. "


So Now that I got such a good results I am seriously thinking about quitting my job and just wait for the money to come!!


Something interesting of this application is that you can get to see the results obtained by your friends that used the application as well, so that is some kind of a twist on the whole deal that besides that feature has nothing else to offer.


So my qualification is a 2,5 out of 5, simply because on the contrary with much of the other Facebook Applications Reviews that I did, this one does not make me feel like using it again after the first and (in my case) last use of it.


Cheers!


Ps: I'll be Rich!! JAJAJ

Facebook Application The Mozer


MOZE ME!!!





Hey there Finally the new year has come, new hopes and new Facebook application reviews to come for us that spend more than the necessary hours online checking the new updates that this crazy thing called Facebook brings us every day.

Today's review is about THE MOZER, but before I make my review I consider important to define what this weird and interesting word means...

moze \ˈmōz\verb: to create one's profile picture by joining one's friends' profile pictures together as in a mosaic ("The mozer is mozing your moze")noun: the outcome of mozing, i.e. one's profile picture created by joining one's friends' profile pictures together as in a mosaic

Jajaja, yes this is the interesting definition given by the creators of this creative facebook application called The boozer.



So basically this application works very simple and smoothly, once you install it you get the option to send this application to some of your facebook friends as usual, and after this happens your profile picture will be Moozed, giving you an amazing replication of your profile picture made in a mosaic with all your friends profile pictures... .


The result of the picture is really amazing, and it's also really fun to explore in details each of the tiny pictures that create your profile picture.





Now, here you can see in this picture on the right the magic of this app, where you zoom into the picture to find out who of your friends are building your profile picture!! The result is amazing as the construction of the whole mosaic.

Personally I really liked this application so my advice for all the Facebook users friends of this blog to install it and start moozing your pictures.

My qualification is 4.5 out of 5 .. I am happy with my mosaic.

Ps: Once you Mose your picture you can download it to your computer to print it as well !!! :-)

Intall it and enjoy it!!!

Cheers!!
