As a twitter addict, I have to say the Twitter app is one of my 4faves. But I also love the 30/30 productivity app. And there are some AMAZING travel apps I love to use.
Michelle McKinney, Reference/Web Services Librarian: PhotoCircle. Create a “circle”; invite other people to join it and everyone can upload and see photos instantly. Great when you want to share a photo with a specific group of people.

The Thing Quarterly
Issue 13/The Thing
THE THING Quarterly is a periodical in the form of an object. It’s like a magazine, except that each issue is conceived of by a different contributor and then published on a useful object.
Each issue is reproduced, wrapped, and shipped to the subscribers.
Recently, the DAAP Library became a subscriber to THE THING Quarterly and in doing so, we also ordered all back issues. We’ll soon unveil the entire collection in a cool, participatory performance event will entail our filming of our unwrapping each issue and collaborative construction of an exhibition of the entire collection. You don’t want to miss this. Stay tuned…
