As I bought my first tablet last December which was Samsung Galaxy Tab on Android and as I’m currently I’m trying to migrate from an old iPhone to new Samsung phone that also runs on Android, I’ve put together my own top of free Android apps. And this is what I’d like to share with you in this post.

Just a couple of days ago I discovered a new promising Web 2.0 service called If this then that which is actually a new start-up project from San-Francisco.

Guys try to develop a kind of meta-tool which unites many others: GmailFacebookTwitterGoogle ReaderEvernoteDeliciousInstagram, etc. Quite an interesting thing to play with, although it lies in a kind of geeky/nerdy field. But I actually believe that normal people can also find it useful for few things…

iftt If this then that review: a new web 2.0 tool

In short, the idea is to connect all those services through simple rules set-up by user. For example, “if somebody tags me in a photo at Facebook, send me an email about it” or “if I like a post in Google Reader, save it in my Evernote”.

The coolest thing about is that they also have SMS-service that can be used in the same manner as everything else.

Here are some usage ideas that I could come up with:

Favorite blogs

March 25, 2011

Sometimes I get asked where did I read something that I share in twi and blog. So, I decided to compose a short-list of my favorite blogs. I don’t read all of them 100% regularly. Sometimes I read only 20% of headlines and 2% of posts especially if a given blog is very frequently updated. But overall most of these produce very high-quality content on a consistent basis. Enjoy! icon smile Favorite blogs
