Thing 8 - Social Media Management tools

Today I downloaded FriendCaster for Facebook.
The reviews were not very good, so I didn't expect too much.

The first thing I liked was that I could change the color to green instead of blue!

I am not on Facebook very much, mostly because I don't want to take the time. But, I haven't seen an option to change color on the web version of Facebook.

I also like that when you tap the "friends" link, all your friends profile pictures show up in a grid. That format makes it easier to find my friends.

I watched a video and it seemed to work really well.

I think the simplicity and functionality will make FriendCaster useful to many KindleFire users.

Thing 7: Content Saving and Sharing

I have a Pinterest account and have used it somewhat for ideas for school and recipes and fun organizing ideas. My teen daughter uses it to find hairstyles and all kinds of things. She also advertises the shoulder bags that she creates.

I already had the Pinterest app on my Kindle, so I merely added some new boards.

I was interested to find boards and pins about libraries. I had not thought to even look for them before. We used to live in Owatonna, so I really enjoyed seeing the photos of the Owatonna Public Library.

I started a board called "Libraries" and pinned some photos to it.

I also liked the idea about eliminating boards that you really don't use so that Pinterest does not become so overwhelming. I cannot possibly do every project on Pinterest and I won't accomplish much of anything if I spend all day looking at all the cool things I could possibly do when I find the time.

Thing 6 - Creating and editing documents

I tried to download CloudOn, but for some reason it was not available for Kindle Fire.

I purchased OfficeSuite Professional 7 when I bought my Kindle. I was hoping to find time to figure out how to do it. So, I decided to do my review on OfficeSuite Pro7.

I found a YouTube on how it kind of works.

I created a sample document. I think this will work very well for my writing projects on the go. I also played with a sample spreadsheet. You can do all kinds of things with this program. You can work with formulas and graphs and charts. You can change colors and text. Really, it is an amazing piece of software

Also, I can open up any document that I have in dropbox. I can edit it and also print on the cloud.

I saw in some of my reading today that Kindle is compatible with a blue tooth keyboard. I think that until or unless I was able to have a keyboard, I probably would not do so much word processing on the go. I can just type so much faster and more accurately on the laptop.
