Yesterday I downloaded the Kindle App for my Blackberry Storm. Which I’m really excited about the idea of carrying less books when I travel.
So far, I’ve downloaded two books:
“The Man Who Was Thursday” by G.K. Chesterton (free download)
“Groundswell” by Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff
What mobile apps are you using that are helping you manage your life better?
Last week, Robert Scoble of building43 stopped by Box HQ for a chat with CEO/Co-founder Aaron Levie and VP of Marketing Jen Grant. They talked about the new content viewing and embedding features we recently introduced, where Box is headed with Cloud Content Management, and how Box’s open platform has brought key integrations with business applications like Salesforce.com and a growing variety of mobile apps to Box customers.
A Thursday update to Seesmic for BlackBerry fills in some big coverage holes missing from Seesmic’s proficient desktop tweeter for Windows and Mac. It may be time for those heavy Twitter users among you to get Seesmic back on your radar, if not on your BlackBerry.
Retweeting is Seesmic’s main addition in the latest release, where the retweet funtionality pops up into the options menu. Retweeting quickly reposts another user’s 140 characters as is. For more creative control, there’s also Quote, which will let you edit a tweet–even adding geolocation, a short URL, and a photo–to the message before sending. Like Ubertwitter, Seesmic for Blackberry now includes a preview of a picture embedded within an opened tweet. Good. Now you can slake your curiosity without having to leave the app or wait for a full-size image to load in the browser. The same goes for links leading to Google maps.

Last night I had a dream that I was visited by the online ghosts of Christmas past, present and yet to come…
Unfortunately, social media and blogging was so new that the Marley brothers were asking me questions about whether there was an app they could use to update their statuses while in the afterlife…
The Ghost of Online Past…
The ghost of the past took me to Christmas last year at my in-law’s house.
ME:”Don’t you have anything older than this?”
GCP:”I’m here to take you back to when you started building your online prescence”
I was shown how I sat for hours on my laptop while the rest of the family played cards, watched movies, and spent time together.
The Ghost of the Online Present…
The Ghost of the Online Present took me on a blog tour…We ended up on a post on Michael Hyatt’s blog about the perfect moment…but Michael’s blog was getting an overhaul and we couldn’t read any of the posts.
The Ghost of Online Yet-To-Come
This ghost was still in beta and had a lot of bugs. He had no idea what to show me. We ended up over at John Saddington’s blog and read “Personal Web and Technology Goals for 2010″
NOTE: I’m a changed man. I’m leaving the laptop and the Blackberry at home tonight while we spend two nights at the in-laws.
Merry Christmas to you all.
