Facebook Application Review of Wiz My Screen

With Facebook you can be EVERYWHERE

Today's Facebook Review is about the new interesting and out of the book Application called Wiz My Screen. This application as far as I've been writing Reviews in this Facebook Blog opens a new world that before I never met in this social network world of applications that are developed every day. I say this because in other Facebook Reviews I talked about applications, to play, to share music or talk with friends that are on the other side of the globe. But this Application Called Wiz my Screen, goes a little bit further.... and to be honest I was very impress while using it.

Basically this Facebook App, offers remote acces to your friends computer from your computer....Yes exactly I asked myself the same question when I was about to make this Facebook Review... How, when, what!!!!.

Anyway it's just as simply as it sounds, you install the application, and you can easily do the following things:

  • Show what you are doing right now, that just means that you can take a Screenshot and uploaded to your profile, by doing this you are showing to all your Facebook Friends exactly what you are doing.
  • Take control of a remote computer, that's the highlight of this Application, with a small window that will be open in your Screen you will have total control of your Friends computer. With this feature you can even fix your friends Computer. I might use this to solve my mother problems with her computer.... so instead of spending hours over the phone trying to understand what's going on in the other side of the world, now i just can fix whatever happens from my laptop 1000 of Km away from home.
These are the basics of the application, here I found a link with a demo of how this works, so check it up later if you are still interested.

So this is pretty much, it's a useful Facebook application, all the features of remote access are ran under Java so you might have to accept some permits only the first time you want to run the application. The developers clearly expressed that is a safe application and no risks of intruders accessing to your computer will be ran...

My qualification is a 4.3 out of 5, in my opinion a very useful application, and also a very smart way to provide Facebook users another type of interaction with their social network friends.

Facebook Application Review of Candy Arcade

Facebook never tasted so Sweet.

Now's Facebook Review is about the new and just released Facebook Application called Candy Arcade. As the name of this app easily defines when we install this fun application we will find ourselves facing three different games to kill some time in the office while numbers and reports are burning our brain and we seek for an exit in Facebook, and looking pictures and sending messages to our Friends it's not relieving anymore.

While I was making this Facebook review for this Blog, I found myself surfing into this three fun ant entertaining games, that do not need long and complicated explanations, but only intuition and some arcades culture to get started fast.

This are the four options available so far in this Application.
  • Seek And Find, this game is simple and fun, you simply have to find what they tell you to find in the less time possible. Nice graphics.
  • Suggar Blitz, this one is about getting as many candy's as possible while the mean rockets are falling down from the sky to destroy us.
  • Pinata Bash, this is by far my favorite, and basically is about creating a Mexican Pinata to smash right after that, but the graphics, and action are awesome and they make something as simply as smashing a pinata a fun and relaxing game.
  • The candy Factory, this one yet is just being advertised but you can not play this game that apparently seems to be very addictive. After making some research online I found that “Candace Kane’s Candy Factory” was just nominated for the best Casual Game by the Canadian Awards for the Electronic and Animated Art, so maybe we should wait for this option to be available for the Facebook Users.
So by the time that I was making this Facebook Review this were the three available options that really helped me to kill some time in my office. The quality of the graphics and the design of the characters are a good proof that this application was developed in detail by a very professional team of developers.....

So in conclusion my Qualification for this Facebook Application Reviewed called Candy Arcade is 4 out of 5, my suggestion play for a while, kill some time and have fun.

Facebook Application Review of Kaloopy Says

Celebrities everywhere, even in Facebook


Today’s Facebook Review is about this new interesting Facebook App called Kaloopy Says. This application explores the social network potential from the strength of gossips and opinion of the masses.

This new application is about commenting and putting the Facebook user’s voice into the air to make it sound loud and clear. So here goes the overview for this Facebook Review.

When we install the Application Kaloopy Says, we will see in front of us a very good quality pictures gallery with all the celebrities that we love…. and also the ones that we wait every morning to go down and maybe crush against the floor. Once the pictures of this application are loaded, we can click on them to take a deeper look and there is when the magic from the hand of Kaloopy starts.

Once the picture is full size we can find right in the bottom of it a short review of the person, some funny and up to date gossips and stories, and others extras about the celebrity we just clicked on. After the interesting info we can fill the Kaloopy text box where we can say whatever we think about this personality such as Kaloopy Says Jessica Alba is…looking very pregnant, and then we just have to click post the sentence. Another thing that we can do if we do not feel creative enough to make an interesting/funny comment about the picture selected we can vote for other’s peoples comments, or fill the Kaloopy text box and then Vote your sentence, and then Vote others peoples sentences as well. The voting goes with the passionate Hell Yes expression or Hell No, that in my opinion fits perfectly with the atmosphere of this Facebook App.

While I was making this Facebook Application Review I stopped for a while to see the huge photo archive of this app. There are some great shots of my favorite’s celebrities and also there usually more than one per person so every new picture can inspire to post a new and different sentence.

One good thing of this application is that the developers of it upload on a daily basis photos that follow current news, gossip and stories about celebrities, so we can never be out of date if we are just killing some time with this Application. Not even when you are trying to make a post in this Facebook Blog.

One more thing, all the comments while they are voted go to the top comments Rank, where the most popular/funny/smart comments will be shown, only if the audience wants them to be scoring hi with the Hell Yes. So the more friends you bring to Kaloopy the better ranks you can get for your posts.

So in conclusion my qualification is a 3.8 out of 5 it’s a fun, and well developed application to spend some time in Facebook reading what’s going on around our favourites celebrities, so now that you just finished reading this Facebook Review, if you feel like there’s something you want to say about Michael Jackson for example…. There might be an interesting Facebook Application waiting for you.

Facebook Application Review of TalkShoe

Alive in FACEBOOK, he talks about a topic... and you can REPLY!

Today's Facebook Review is about the new Application called TalkShoe. What is TalkShoe ?? ...you may ask, to what I would reply.... this Application is all you need to communicate in Facebook with all your Friends either through VoIP as well as through your phone or chat. Even more, with this Facebook Application you can create your own podcast and save it to send to your mother, friends, girlfriends, etc..... so let's get it on with This Facebook Application Review, because that's the reason you are reading this Facebook Blog.!!!

When you install this application, you go to the main window with two main options and some tabs on top. This two options are, for you to create your own Comunity Call which will be defined and set up very similar as any Facebook Group. And the second option is about joining an already created community Call.
When we click on the "Join a Community Call", we will go to the heart of this Facebook Application where there is a very wide variety of "channels" or groups to join. Next to each of this groups there is a short description of which are the topics discussed there, with different options in this nice designed Application such as Travelers Diaries, Hi Tech news, and a long list of new programs to come.

Basically each program on this Facebook Application works as an interactive radio show, where you can behave like audience, or chat with the people that are on air, and if you feel like joining the conversation you can also rise your voice in the air... and all this using only this Facebook App, no need for extras or plug ins or others strange things.

When I was writing this Facebook Review I joined the Hi Tech news and when all my buffering was done, great quality of sound came from the speakers of my laptop, and the voice on the other side Said Hi to me... and I felt like I could definitely spend some time talking with that friendly person.... but I must apologize in this Facebook Blog, for hanging up the call to be able to finish this Application's Review.

So back in track, the interesting of this application is by far the unlimited options for interaction with other Facebook users, not to mention how easy and fast I was already enjoying the full strength of the App.

Personally I really liked this Facebook app it because I think it offers different options to different type of users,... because if you are shy maybe you can only listen and participate through the chat window, and if you enjoy being the main star of the show you can even open your own channel, schedule a time with your audience or just with the calendar, and get online sharing your opinions and points of views with the Facebook users.

The qualification for this Facebook Review, is 4.3 out of 5. I really liked it, and now I am just hoping to see more channels opening there to share some time with interesting people all around the world... or bring my friends back from home closer to me by setting up a community call just for us...

Facebook Application Review of My Food Mix by Matthew Chiu

I am hungry, where do we go??... I'll check it on FACEBOOK

Hey there, today's Facebook Review is about the new application called My Food Mix. This new Application it's really interesting and useful for everybody specially for those like me that really fancy eating!!

Basically this Facebook Application has to different thing to offer to Facebook users, as are about to be explained in this Review.
  • The first thing is that every Facebook user can upload pictures of food and build a library of pictures with names and tags related with the pictures. This feature is interesting for those who really now how to pull it out and can really show off with their delicious dishes impressing the ladies. In my case, as I am a really bad cook, I prefer to upload pictures of dishes I had once Backpacking around the world.(see the pic I uploaded)
  • The second feature of this facebook application (and most important) that really uses the strength of social networking is the possibility to upload restaurants info that we fancy to visit. This option it's an amazing idea because while the application grows on users, and they start uploading restaurants according to the places where everybody lives, a huge database of restaurants starts being built for the benefit of all the Facebook users...
This option really solves the boredom of always visiting the same places and it's also a really good source of information because the reviews and descriptions of the restaurants are made by your Facebook Friends which are the most reliable source of information that you can find.

To upload a restaurant to the database you just have to fill a really simple form, picture above, where all the important things to write are listed, it does not take more than 30 seconds to do it, and after that all your friends can check all your picks.

So in conclusion I really liked this Facebook Application, and when I think how attractive it will be in some time when lot's and lot's of users will start uploading info I ask to myself if I ll have enough time to visit so many places... My qualification is 4 out of 5, now it's a matter of waiting till people start using it, for the benefit of all. Enjoy your meal, Bon a Petit!!
