QR codes are being placed everywhere from posters, ads, to food items. These codes are used so consumers everywhere can instantly scan the code with their smart phones and instantly be able to see a web page, text, picture, video, or even direct a consumer to an online shop.
There are many QR scanning apps out in the Apple App store as well as Android Market and Nokia’s Ovi Store. However, no QR scanning app does more than scan and redirect.
Recently, one of my friends told me about this app called Qrawr. An app using QR codes to create and share pages for basically anything. The app basically allows you create your own QR codes for a website, an inanimate object, or what ever you want and then creates a page or “tag” for you. That page is where your QR code leads to and who ever scans your code can post text, locations or pictures on to your page’s wall.
Qrawr uses stickers of QR codes that are each unique even if you create a tag online. Each unique sticker code can be placed anywhere that people will see, scan, and start commening on. The app’s purpose was to create conversations on inanimate objects. For example, let’s say you saw a new CD in stores from your favorite artist, but you’re not sure you want to buy it. Place one of your Qrawr stickers on it, (Hopefully, that won’t be vandalizing things that aren’t yours) scan it, give it a title and a comment, and walk around the store for a bit. Now, that code is there to scan on that CD and anyone who passes by can access that page you just created. After a little while just check your page and see what people think of it or recommend instead. What just happened? You created your own little discussion page on a CD you’re planning to buy by just placing a sticker!
I tested out this app and thought it was really cool! I made a tag/page for It’s Technologic and I can’t wait for all of you to scan and try out this app!
Plus, if you tweet about Qrawr with your Twitter account and fill out a form, they may send you some stickers. I did and I’m hoping I’ll get them soon. This app doesn’t have many users, reviews, or fans. However, I can see major potential in this app. It combines social networking and code scanning in a very fun and communitive way.
Scan my QR code and comment on this post or It’s Technologic in general. Download Qrawr, sign up for an account and scan your first QR code!

With the economy not helping to fund your singles night or allowing you to spend a night out with your friends at a casino, a website called PartnerUp2Win (http://www.partnerup2win.com) can help.

This unique website combines both the fun of casinos and social networking. Where the singles market meets the gaming market.
I’ve been looking up information and testing out the site myself. I’ve found that PartnerUp2Win gives singles and other people who just want to make new friends, a way to work together for a big reward. Working together with a few ‘partners’ that you’ve never really known before really puts you out there and allows you to be yourself and bring what you have to have offer to your group of partners or just partner. Partner up with whomever you like and try to partner up with as many people as you can. The more people you’re partnered with, the more chances of winning the jackpot!

I say to give this website a shot; it’s a great new and different idea falling into the social networking field, singles and casino entertainment field. Plus, everyone is a winner no matter what! You’ll be surrounded by like-minded people also mixing and mingling to meet new friends and to make money whether it’s live or virtual. You’ll be engaging in something new.

In conclusion, I love the idea of the website and think that this could be an awesome can’t-pass opportunity to try for singles and gambling lovers!

Managing tasks, managing projects, managing every part of your life, and making sure that you got it all written down before you forget. It’s all a lot of work and making sure you know what to do, when it’s due, and how you need to do it is a major task on it’s own. Luckily, a great company called 6Wunderkinder (the company that created one of my favorite apps called Wunderlist) has recently launched a new approach to task management. The web and mobile app is called Wunderkit. This app is slightly different from Wunderlist’s design, but a very different from the purpose and use of their first task management project.
I was honored to be able to be a pro member of Wunderkit and a beta tester as well. It was my first time beta testing any app or new web start up and I was so stoked to do so.
Wunderkit is an app that allows the social aspect of the digital world to combine with the productivity aspect to create a powerful social working tool for people with any range of interest. The main point of this app is to share and collaborate your life’s projects into a workspace that combines your fans and production team (social aspect) with your to do list (productivity aspect).
In Wunderkit, each one of your important projects is called a workspace. Create a workspace for anything (a band, a club, a major website you’re launching, an app that you’re working on, or even a personal workspace to write all your tasks and notes). I created a workspace for It’s Technologic.
This is how the workspace dashboard looks like. With more followers and more work going on you’ll see everything from your followers, your members, your public updates, tasks, and notes at a glance. (NOTE: When you are the member of a workspace, everything is visible. Otherwise, notes and tasks cannot be seen).
The picture above shows a the home screen of Wunderkit. This is the home screen and an example of what the dashboard would more-or-less look like. Notice how there’s a social/productivity feed of updates, a little follower and member toolbar, a small section for your to-do’s, and a small section to explore featured workspaces.
This screenshot shows the navigation side panel which the other pictures don’t show. The side panel is how you navigate between workspaces, view new activity, tasks, and quickly add a new workspace, task, or note. This screenshot also shows how similar the task area is to 6Wunderkinder’s Wunderlist.
So now that you saw a few parts and learned a little about Wunderkit. How do you use it? Well, it’s really easy and straight forward. Create a workspace (a personal one is already created for you by default), add some tasks, write some notes, and invite some members to collaborate with. Create as many workspaces as you want, invite as many members as you like, add as many notes and tasks as you want. You can choose to have a private workspace or a public one. (Users cannot follow or find a private workspace.) Make your workspace public and allow yourself, company, or team to give project updates in real-time while collaborating ideas and more with your crew. Simply organize your life’s major projects with this easy to use productivity tool that just got social.
Just as the desktop and web tool is easy to use so is the app for Apple devices. Download Wunderkit for your device or check it out online and see for yourself. In my opinion, I have loved 6Wunderkinder from the start and this one terrific app will surely be the app I use daily to organize my life and all the upcoming projects I’ll be doing.
P.S. Be sure to follow the It’s Technologic Workspace! Search It’s Technologic or sign in to Wunderkit and go to Wunderkit.com/itstechnologic .
Let’s take a second to think about all the links we provide in our websites, blogs, profiles, and articles. I thought about it and boy, do I link to a lot of different websites and pages. Providing links is an easy way to advertise, share, and let others know of other great content on the web. In every page, post, or article you see on the web, you find more than enough links to navigate from a page about shoes to an eBay shop selling your favorite pair to (Dare I say) an Error: 404 page.
First off, what exactly is a broken link? A broken link is a link that cannot be found. You know you’ve found a broken link when you see an error code: 404 page. This happens due to the fact that the page you’re looking for does exist. However, it may not be accessible at that moment, may have been moved, or may have been deleted without the server of the website being updated.
Fixing the broken links on your website will clean out the clutter of pages that users come across that don’t work. It can help keep your website’s private links completely inaccessible. It helps users find better and rich content without running into an error page as well as helping search engines and web-bots search though your website easier. Clearing the cutter, creating focus on your content, and making it easier for your website to be searched for will make your website SEO friendly (Search Engine Optimization).
There are many ways to fix broken links. Finding and fixing each broken link on your website could be extremely time consuming and even after several hours of fixing broken links, you most likely will still have broken links on your website that you aren’t aware about. Let’s face it, it’s hard to keep track of what links on your site are working fine or up to date.
To avoid wasting all that time correcting broken links on my website. I tested out this great new web app called Dr. Link Check. The app does pretty much what the title says; it checks links to make sure they’re all okay and not broken. It’s a link doctor! This app allows you to type the address of any website and instantly shows you what links on your website are broken. Beyond that, it also shows you if the website’s link is valid, your internal and external links, and your website’s backlisted link.
The website has a search engine look to it from the homepage to the results page. It’s professionally structured and very neat looking. It has a mini-navigation menu to navigate from internal and external links, backlisted links, and broken links within your website. Check up to 1,000 links within your website for free. Plus, upgrade to 5,000 links to check up on for any website for only $10 for 2 months. An affordable tool for all webmasters!

With so many apps to choose from in the Apple App Store, it can be pretty challenging finding the exact app that will meet all of your needs. And, for Website Developers, finding a great and helpful app can be ever harder. Some may argue that most apps are easy to find, but be honest many of the apps you downloaded and thought were great, you tried once and never used them again. Well, to put an end to hours of searching and experimenting with apps. I found 10 of what I believe are the best and useful apps for Website Developers. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, I’m sure you’ll find an app you will use on a daily basis.
- LogMeIn – An app that literally let’s you log on to your computer from your iPhone! (No, I’m not kidding) This app allows you to remotely access your computer from your Apple device within minutes. You can access and use your computer screen from your device as if it were computer. Browse through the web, open up and use a program, and sync your computer files to be accessed on your device. The easy to use interface and steps through the app’s website and app itself are perfect for remote technical support or just accessing your computer when you need to. The app can also be used from one computer to another via web access or computer program.
- HTML Editor – The title says it all. A simple HTML editor is every website and software developer’s essential accessory. With this app, you can edit CSS and of course HTML, open HTML documents and preview your documents as well. The app is currently $4.99 in the Apple Store and I believe that it’s definitely worth the price.
- Source Viewer – A basic source viewer is all that it is to this app. Another, developer essential, is a source viewer. Website coding sources help developers like I create and edit by sharing and viewing each other’s creativity. Just like authors, each developer has their own style of coding. Therefore, use this source viewer to view any website’s source and start discovering your own creativity while looking at other great coding works.
- Analytics App – How great does it feel to see that your website received over 100 hits this morning? Use this insightful app to its advantage by connecting your Google Analytics account and being able to view visits, page views, and more! (A great alternative is Fast Analytics, a free app that does the same thing, but has a less professional looking interface).
- Ego – Need more information than just your average page views? Look no further, Ego provides you both social network numbers as well as site analytics. Get your website’s social and overall statistics at a glance. Ego supports Feedburner, Google Analytics, Twitter, Squarespace, Mint, Tumblr, and more. This app currently costs $1.99. Not too costly to get the best analytics for your websites!
- WhatTheFont – Websites and software’s first impression is the look and feel of it. So, make it feel right with the perfect looking font. (See what I did there? HA HA! ) Fonts can be found anywhere, from your local supermarket to those Chinese menus that are always in your mailbox. Found a font you like? Take out your iPhone, launch this app, snap a picture, and instantly discover the name of the font and use it for your website.
- CliqCliqColors – Colors are also a major contribution to your website’s look. Colors are all around you and all you need is this app to extract your favorite colors and add it to your own website. E-mail yourself your color palates or in other formats such as Photoshop. This app is currently free and will be no longer available after August 15. Don’t worry; the app will still work after that date.
- AreMySitesUp? – What a great question? Well, is it? This app will find out for you. Websites tend to crash, servers seem to be low, it’s good to stay on the safe side and check if your site is up! Plus, if you sign up for a premium account, you get instant notifications regarding your website.
- Weave – Managing your website or software’s revenues and expenses can be hard. Stay up to date by using an app called Weave. Add to-do’s, make little notes, and keep track of your income and your expenses too.
- Draw Pad Pro: Amazing Notepads & Sketchbooks – The name gives it away. An amazing notepad and sketchbook creator, allowing you as a developer to make notes, doodle on some ideas, and keep yourself organized. Make nice looking notebooks with as many pages of notes and sketches as you want. Perfect for brainstorming on the go!
Besides all these great apps for website developers, how about taking your website or business to a whole new level. This isn’t an app, but a top notch service that’ll help you generate more business. Increase your revenue, brand awareness, and get an increase of new customers. A team of web designers in London can help you get the job done! A great way to start your website off on the right track so you can use these awesome apps and have a successful website in no time.
Every one who has an iPhone 4S has been enjoying the virtual companionship of Siri. Siri is an artificially intelligent voice control assistant for iPhone 4S only. Siri used to be an app in the app store and was taken off the app store market as soon as the iPhone 4S was launched.
Siri allows you to keep track of your plans throughout the day, answer your questions with instant search results and answers, and respond to a variety of commands. A brand new app created by True Knowledge called Evi is capable of doing similar things.
This app can answer questions, provide results, give answers, and respond to a limited variety of commands. It’s basically just like Siri. The app is new and since it’s just launching, it’s not as high functional as Siri is. The interface of Evi seems to look simple and productive. I think it looks great. Evi is available both in the Apple App Store and Android Market.
I had a few of my friends test out the app on their Android phones. They concluded that Evi is fun and entertaining. However, it can’t seem to be able to provide an answer to most of the questions. It appears to say that either there is high demand or that it doesn’t have the ability to do that, yet.
I think that’s fair. For a new app competing with Siri, that’s not bad at all. True Knowledge has done a great job and Evi definitely seems to have great potential. I’m sure Evi is going to improve and soon will be the number one alternative to Siri or maybe even the “Siri” for Android phones!
Have you ever spent hours submitting your websites, links, and articles into different directories? Well, you aren’t the only one. It takes a lot of time and effort to submit your work into directories that contain like content. Instead of spending all that time submitting your work, why not create your own Directory Submission Site and Service?
Creating your own directory service will save you the time of submitting your content manually to different directories and automatically submit your content to hundreds of directory sites. Don’t just keep your new service to yourself. Expand your service by allowing others to use it too. Here’s the best part, you can make money while you’re at it too.
Creating your own service is easy with this ready built web directory submitter. The website provides everything you need to start your own directory submission service. An easy to use semi-automatic directory submitter, a great administration control panel, whitehat SEO tool which is 100% Google friendly, plus free installation! Besides that, this website is PayPal friendly and you get paid directly to your PayPal account.
So what is a directory submission service and how does it work? A directory submission service allows you to submit your website, links, stories, and content to related directories. Once your links are submitted and approved to a directory, new users will be directed to that site. That’s exactly what PHP Automatic Directory Submit will do for you. It pinpoints you to related directories that you can submit your content to. Easily start promoting your website or business!
As part of my research about this great website, I tried out the free demo and found that the directory submit service was exactly how the website described it to be. The free demo gives you one credit to submit one website and one article to a directory. I submitted It’s Technologic and one of my favorite articles to a few directories I didn’t even know existed. The more directories I found as possible candidates to submit my blog at, the more I thought “WOW! I’ll be getting so many new users in no time!”
I also tried out the Admin Demo and found it to be straight-forward and easy enough that anyone can set up a directory submission service in practically minutes! The Admin control panel allows you to easily add, edit, and delete user data, bookmarks, directories, articles, and the site’s configuration tools are easy to make changes to as well. After trying out the demo, I might start up my own Directory Submission Service to promote my site and earn money while promoting others’ sites too.
