My first app has now been released !
The Social Media Friend has been created with the aim of helping everybody (whether young or old) to understand and navigate the world of Social Media and get to grips with the tools of Web 2.0.
In the initial version – which debuted on the iTunes Store on 24th March – the topics covered are:
- An introduction to the world of Web 2.0.
- A handy hints and tips guide to getting the most out of using Twitter.
- A fabulous Social Media Glossary which provides a list of key terms in easily understandable language.

I’m going to be adding a lot more sections to the app as the year progresses too. A version of the Social Media Friend for Android is also in the works and it’s currently awaiting approval before arriving on the Amazon App Store for Android in the near future so watch this space or visit the website:

The app has been written using Phonegap which is a really great bit of software allowing you to write simple code for a range of mobile devices without having to know the in’s and out’s of Objective C or Java
!!!
I’m also maintaining a Twitter account for the App which aims to distil the most relevant and interesting stories on the world of Social Media and this will hopefully be integrated into a later release (!):

There’s also a Facebook page allowing you to express your love for it:
