Social Networking: movies, shows, fashion and games

Social networking, as we said on Tuesday, has definitely defined technological evolution. We can’t conceive of a day without checking our Facebook/Twitter account and sharing our thoughts, pictures or favorite songs with the world. We want to know what’s going on with our friends or family and this has become the easiest way to do that. We share important pieces of our life constantly and we expect our friends to tell us what they think about it.

We’ve heard our favorite music, movies and books say a lot about who we really are and maybe that’s why we tend to share our likes with our hundreds of online friends: to express and define ourselves.

GetGlue is the perfect application for that. Based on a check-in and badge system you can share what you’re doing at the moment, regarding to your favorite activities, that is: watching movies, tv shows, music, books, etc. That creates a profile that perfectly fits you and others can see if they have similar tastes. In addition, you need to collect as many badges that might even make you earn discount coupons. The app also includes a recommendation system that tries to suggest more movies, shows and books you’ll like based on your check-ins and scores. Of course, this works better if you connect it to Facebook, Twitter or Foursquare to let your friends know about it and encourage them to join the website and download the app.

Games are also really popular nowadays, as we tend to spend our subway trips using them in order to not get bored. Mocospace is a social gaming network, where you need to create an account and you can start playing to thousand of games (poker, management, casual). The app is based on competing with other users while chatting with them and challenging their scores. The games are not well-developed but they’re fun, entertaining and addictive. This app could improve its appearance and design in order to become more attractive to the users.

Lastly, fashion is one of the areas that technology has helped the most. Now you can share your daily outfits and favorite fashion styles with your friends and people who have the same interests. But that’s not all.

Thanks to apps like Pose, a fashion social network, you can discover new styles and outfits that you might try later, as well as posting your daily pictures of what you’re wearing. Browsing through your friends’ pictures is easy, and commenting on their pictures will make them notice you and you’ll probably earn more followers.  We could say that Pose is the perfect application for fashionistas who want to get inspiration and express their fashion advice to the rest of the world. In conclusion, great app with many features and the possibility to interact with other users.
