socialSaturday: Windows Live Writer

Hello, SACGS readers! This is natedog in the virtual flesh ready to talk with you about talking. It is the final day of the week and I hope everyone had a good American Thanksgiving. OK, well here is today’s topic. It is Windows Live Writer. I use this program for all of my posting to SACGS on my PC. I use WordPress for iPod touch on my iPod touch. Well, here is a screenshot of this very post being written at this very second.

Windows Live Writer is very easy to setup and it works with many blog types, including WordPress. It even will help you setup a Windows Live Spaces account if you do not already have a blog. You can install plug-ins which are used to make inserting links, etc. easier. It is an easy to use clean interface that looks great on your PC. It will make you feel like your in Word without all of the clutter. You can keep multiple accounts with Windows Live Writer for those of you who write on multiple blogs. The spell check feature works and is just like MS Word’s. I would rate this application 4 out of 5 stars.

If you have any suggestions to SACGS, leave a comment on the blog or send or send an email to sacgsblog at gmail dot com.

Talk to you on macMonday,

App Store App Review: WeatherBug

Good old WeatherBug, my PC weather app of choice a while ago and now the only working free choice in the Weather category in the App Store. WeatherBug uses the Current Location that is in many apps at the App Store. It found my location easily where there is only one WiFi access point. It features live images at different locations so you can visualize the weather in your area. It also has a live radar and of course, wind speed, temperature and other weather stuff. I like the WeatherBug app better than the Weather app on iPods and iPhones. Tell me what you think via email, meebo, or comments(comments preferred).

App Store App Review: Touch Train

Well, if you just got your iPod Touch or your iPhone, this app is for you.  It is called Touch Train. All it does is helps you give more accurate touches to your touch screen. I don’t have any use for it since I am already used to my touch screen. It is great for first timers and it is available for free at the iTunes App Store.

iPhone 2.0 Mania

Well, the iPhone 2.0 software was released today and something about it has upset me. The update is unavailable on iTunes. So for now, I cannot upgrade. So I can’t review any apps. I will have reviews for the list below soon, plus some other apps.
