Facebook Application Review of ITrailer

Write your movies in Facebook

Today's Facebook Review is about the new Application called iTrailer.
This new and interesting Application is about customizing yotube videos... customizing... what do you mean by that.... well you can basically write wathever you want to say in a simply text window and then this will be showed during the movie.

Basically once you install this Facebook Application you have to start looking for the Youtube video you want to use. So once ypu have the right movie, you have to copy and paste the link inside of the link box that appears in the Application. Once this is done you go to the second stage of the application where you have to write the text that you want to be displayed during the Videos playback.

Once the movie with the written text are ready you can send it to your Facebook friends. No more and no less for this Facebook Review. One good thing that could be added to this application could be the option to load home made movies as well as movies from other video websites such as Dailymotion or Metacafe.

I personally think that this Facebook Application borns from a very good idea, but maybe some guidance suche as some extra text explaining to the user what he has to do while using the app could be of big help. Some work on design would also improve a lot the perception of this Application as well.

Overall my qualification for this Facebook Review is 3 out of 5.
See you next time!,,... with more Facebook Application Reviews.

Facebook Application Review of Terminator

Machines against Humans in FACEBOOK

Todays Facebook Review is about Terminator SCC (Sarah Connor Cronicles). First before starting with this Facebook Review please let me say WOW. Honestly this Application goes beyond all the previous app Reviewed on this Facebook Blog.

The main idea of this Facebook Application based on the Series Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles is to be part of the war between Machines and Humans so as to decide the destiny of Human kind.

When you install the application you get the option to chose for which side you want to fight for, and from there two more steps, the first one would be recruiting allies to join you for the final battle and the second and more entertaining one is taking part of the combat by completing several missions.

Of course once I was making this Facebook Review I joined the Machines and spend some crazy time fighting and shouting.



The graphics as well as the user friendly interface make of this Facebook Application a must for those who enjoy shooting games... like me.

My Qualification for this Facebook Application Review is 4.3 out of 5, I liked it very much, the application of course, as well as the movie.

Facebook Application Review of Typing Master

Type the word FACEBOOK

Today's Facebook Review is about the Application called TypingMaster. Now, I guess you all know what kind of application this is it, but believe me they really found a good twist to make this one very interesting.

For people like me for example, that spend lots of hours in front of the computer writing this Facebook Blog and also working in other things always in front of the monitor, the typing issue is always there. Because I know that the fastest and more accurate I get to type what I want/have to express.. the less time ill be working.

So here comes this Facebook Application that gives you the opportunity to test how fast and accurate you can type a text that will be shown in a certain period of time, and then compare your results with your Facebook Friends results, or with all the users that installed and used this app. So that's it, not more not less...

One negative thing that I found about this Facebook Application is that in order to get started you need to be sure that you have the Jave Plug in to get going, otherwise your test will have to wait until you get the proper updates to run the Application.

Besides that everything runs smooth and easy, I really liked it and did the Typing test a bunch of times so as to see if I could improve my mark.... Unfortunately my first score was my highest score no matter how hard I tried on further chances.

My qualification for this Facebook Review is 4 out of 5.

Facebook Application Review of Photo Frame Show

Frame yourself in FACEBOOK


Today's Facebook Review is about the Application called Photo Frame Show.
This Application as the name suggests allows you to frame your photos, add text and say with style!, whatever you want to say,,,, however you want to say it.

Basically this Application is about uploading pictures to frame them with loads of frame designs to make your photos come alive. So once you install the application you have to select a frame by browsing trhough different categories and then you have to upload a picture for the selected frame.

Some good things about this Facebook Application are the uploading speed plus the user friendly interface that allows the user manipulate the picture so as to find the perfect position for the picture inside of the frame. Another good thing is that you can upload pictures from your PC and also (good job with this one) from your Facebook photo Albums.

The result looks like this!!!

Once the job is done in the Facebook Application you can send your personalized e-cards to your friends in just a few clicks, or just keep it for you.

My qualification for this Facebook Review is 3.2 out of 5, this application Rocks but once you make some pictures...the game is over.

Facebook Application Review of Children Cause

Making a difference in FACEBOOK

Today's Facebook Review is about the Application called Children Cause. As you might guess this application responds to a cause and it's main purpose is to help to make a difference.

The Goal of this Facebook Application is to sponsor 2000 children in need, and for that, they need a minimum of 1.000.000 people to support this project by adding this application to their profile and downloading a toolbar at no cost!

So once the Facebook Application is installed you get two options, either to send invitations so as to bring our Friends into the cause, or download the toolbar to start helping every time the Toolbar is used.

The Toolbar features are listed below:

  • Google-Powered Search
  • E-mail Notifier and Pop-up Blocker
  • Cookie and History Clean-up
  • Weather (Forecast and Current)
  • Radio player (The most popular radio stations and podcasts in the world selected, music, news and much more)

Inside of this Facebook Application you can also see some information of the people that so far have been sponsored by this project.

Personally I think that if this money really reaches those who need it the most, this is an amazing way to help and Facebook becomes a strong Social weapon that can really make a difference for those who need help.

My qualification for this Facebook Review is 4 out of 5.

Facebook Application Review of Been There, Like it or Not

Have you Been There??, not yet but I read about in FACEBOOK

Today's Facebook Review is about the new Application called Been There?, Like it or not. As you can imagine by the name of this Application the main idea of it is to show the world how much do the Facebook users know where all the best places are, Restaurants, Bars, Arts & Entertainment!, and what do they think about them.

Basically once you start running the application you have to select locations you have been to and rate whether you liked the place or not. Once you do this you gain points for the places, categories and number of cities that you rate. The more places you rate the higher your score and the more awards you can collect to move up in the rankings. There is also a tab so as to see how good we are doing on the ratings in relation with the other Facebook users.

The good thing about this Facebook Application is not only the good Mash up job they did with Google Maps as the main tool for the functionality of this Facebook Application but also how easy, user-friendly and fast is everything while using the interface.

One of the greatest things of this application is that you can see which rates your friends gave to the places, so as to also decide how to plan your night, or weekend. One thing that I think they could add to this application is the option to see how many matching rates we have with other users using the application so as to be able to know which people has a similar taste as ours and in that way be able to chose a new place to visit while reviewing this specific user's ratings.

Personally I really liked it so the qualification of this Facebook Review is 4.3 out of 5 they did a really good job and I really hope people will start sharing the places where they have been with the community so as to enrich this social network tool.

Facebook Application Review of Kidnap!

Kidnap and Hide inside FACEBOOK


Hey my Friends, today's Facebook Review is about the new application called Kidnap!.

This new application is a funny and entertaining game where the goal is to kidnap Facebook friends, from different parts of the globe. Basically you have to travel around the world looking for places where to hide and from there plan your strategy for your next criminal move.

This Facebook application starts when you chose a destiny from where you want to start kidnapping friends, once the place is chosen the application will show a very good scenario picture with a brief description of the selected city. Just for the record I chose my birth city and the description was a %100 accurate so that means that this developers did some real/good research while creating this application.

Once your hideout scenario is set, you start your careers as a kidnappers, first by choosing from an interesting and funny list of techniques such as an 8 ball in a tube sock or a Giant sticky Flypaper.... and then we have to select the victim out of our Facebook friends.

Talking about the feel and look of this app I think it has a very nice and detailed design, everything runs smooth and they did a really good job with the hideout scenarios.

My qualification for this Facebook Review is 4 out of 5, I really enjoy it!!
