I’m slowly rediscovering Google Buzz. I know, I know: it’s not Twitter. And yes, yet it looks so damn similar to it. Google Buzz is one of those things Google launches and then forgets about, but it turns out that there are many interesting users to follow on Buzz who daily share a plethora of cool links, Scobleizer being one of them. So I decided to give it a try and go look for some applications to use with it.

I stumbled upon Buzzie from Alberto Garcìa Hierro and I have to say it’s pretty good app for Google Buzz.

With Wired setting the bar for gorgeous, high-quality, interactive magazines on the iPad, Time shows us what they’ve cooked up. Though in Time’s case, there’s a lot going on in terms of navigation that makes it feel really cluttered. There’s too many ways you can interact with pages that don’t seem intuitive, but we’ll see.

I am most impressed with being able to view a map of the stories: that is really important to me. Equally as interesting is Wired’s comments system, which I wouldn’t expect from a magazine – do I really want read the same trollish comments I can online?

Considering I just cancelled my cable plan (why would you do such a thing!?), Time will be great for keeping an eye on the world around me so I don’t lose track of current events. I’m hopeful this will be out soon, and you can find a quick video after the break.

Last time I saw an iPad on fire like this one, it was running Flash.

So there’s this couple that’s always dreamed to have a wedding ceremony with vows read off of an iPad and iPhones to update Twitter and Facebook status. And so they did. If they’re happy, we’re happy - and we even have the video after the break.

Cheers.

There are two kind of applications in the App Store: those that help you accomplish tasks for your digital life, and those that help you in the real world. Think about twitter clients and apps to remember the World Cup schedule. Don’t get me started on Twitter clients.

As for the “real world” apps, we could go on talking about them for hours. I swear I saw apps to help women remember their period. There are apps that comes with entire databases of international recipes.

Now, we have a Ruler.

Think about your iPad, and tell me what’s the thing you do most with it. I bet that of all activities, reading with the iPad would be the most popular answer. So much has been said about the tablet being able to revolutionize the print industry and old media (e.g. Newspapers that still have to figure out a way to monetize their online presence), but let’s face it: revolutions don’t happen in two months. It’s a constant and daily evolution, led by Steve Jobs, the App Store and developers.

Third party applications is where it’s at. Creative devs coming up with innovative solutions that show how a new device such as the iPad can indeed reshape the industry. We’re waiting for a second wave of great iPad apps to come along, and those apps will do even better than the ones we’ve seen in these two months.

So, a Japanese Apple fan gets tired of waiting for the perfect iPad stand to arrive and decides to build his own. Pretty usual story. But this one is different. A Japanese Apple fan gets tired of waiting for the perfect iPad stands, takes an old iBook case and builds an iPad stand out of it.

Now that is awesome.
