I’ve been testing out Banjo, the new social discovery app, over the past week. I must say, I’m quite impressed. In a nutshell, the free iPhone app allows you to “discover what you’re missing.” For example, open Banjo and see what’s happening with your friends or others in your local area… or Paris.

The beauty of it, you can check Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and Gowalla all from one app thanks to Banjo’s CEO Damien Patton. I recently interviewed Patton and because I’d rather cut all of my boring questions out, I’ve only uploaded his answers directly to the AppyHour.tv YouTube channel.

Of course, you can read my full review on AppCraver. Also, don’t forget to give Banjo some Facebook and Twitter love.

Press Release: Banjo, a Palo Alto-based company that empowers social networking users with the ability to find what matters most to them, today launched a new social discovery service.

Banjo helps users explore social and local conversations across social networks and zero in on the most relevant updates happening nearby. Best of all, Banjo allows for social exploration no matter where the user is located, regardless of social network and without the need for an update or check-in.

Bringing Calm to Social Network ChaosWith so many social networks to choose from, mobile users are finding it impossible to keep up with the all the opportunities to connect with people. Banjo combines updates across social networks to create a single, integrated service that reveals real-time social connections nearby.

Whether it’s finding and connecting with local friends, making new connections with people who have similar interests or prospecting for new business opportunities, Banjo gives users control of the possibilities around them. With Banjo, users can decide if, when and how to connect, or to just browse and explore what’s happening in the world around them.

Banjo harnesses publicly-available social and local information and gives users the ability to filter that content based on their interest and location. While the possibilities of engaging with new connections are endless, here are a few ways users can take advantage of the serendipity created with Banjo:

• Meet up with Friends and Colleagues: Say you’re at SFO airport and didn’t check in, tweet or make a social post, but your friend tweets about his flight being delayed. With Banjo, you can quickly discover that your friend is only a few gates away. With these real-time updates, Banjo allows you to never miss an opportunity to connect.
• Discover Hidden Gems: Perhaps you’re on a summer trip, visiting NYC, and wondering where to eat, but you’re not familiar with the area. A quick check of Banjo reveals someone raving about a hip, new restaurant, and while you’re enjoying lunch there, you also discover a fabulous shoe sale going on just a few blocks away. Thanks to Banjo, you got a great meal and two new pairs of shoes and your NYC experience is a off to a great start. Now you can tap into the collective intelligence and insight of the people around you,  making relevant choices for your local expeditions – whatever they may be.
• Explore Beyond Your Boundaries: Do you live, work, or travel in a small town without a lot of activity? Even if none of your friends or people nearby are updating their social networks, Banjo still allows for exploration of what’s happening elsewhere. No longer are you limited to the boundaries of your local networks; Banjo is “elastic” and allows you to check out what’s going on three, 30 – or even 3,000 – miles away. Pick your favorite spots and take a peek; because with Banjo, the ripple effect is what you make of it.

The iPad has revolutionized my mobile office experience. The key to my success was quickly identifying the top office apps in a sea of hundreds of thousands of apps. I looked for versatility, compatibility and ease-of-use.

Of course, to setup my ultimate mobile office I had to look beyond the Apple App Store and see what accessories would also allow me to be as product as the last three years mobile computing with my laptop.

So things like keyboards, covers, WiFi, card readers and carrying cases come into play when cutting the cord, tossing the laptop out and turning your iPad into one tough mobile office computing power. Basically, you want to go rogue, but you also want to have the tools to succeed.

If you want to skip all the juicy details, buy the ZAGGmate (iPador iPad 2) and then download Documents To Go, Dragon Dictation and HootSuite and you’ll be able to read, write, talk and socialize up a business storm. If you want a bit more details on the top office apps, more productivity and want go beyond the basics and explore your mobile office options, read on.

Mooniz is now available at the Apple App Store.

Publisher: Mooniz Interactive Ltd
Platform(s): iPhone, iPod touch
Genre: Connect-three puzzler
Rating: 4+
Players: One
Official site: http://www.amonki.com/mooniz/
Purchase at: Apple App Store
Cost: $.99

The connect-three style puzzle is one of the most over saturated game categories in the iTunes store. In fact, it’s a bit disheartening when I see another developer jump on the bandwagon. Don’t get me wrong, if I were a developer, I’d probably think about entering into this category for the sheer amount of people that play these types of games. But as you can imagine, there are a lot of sub par games within the market. Thanks in large part to a bunch of “cute but cheeky critters,” I’m happy to report that Mooniz is anything but a boring connect-three puzzler.

The Scoop: Fun, addictive and entertaining are three such descriptors I’d use when referring to the Mooniz and may I be so bold as to say it is probably one of the best in this category that I’ve played. In fact, after I was done with the review, I kept playing. That’s how much fun I’m having with the app.

The Setup: The point of the Mooniz is simple at first. Connect colors in groups of three or more and they are blown off the screen. Connect enough colors and stars are earned toward the star counter in the top right of the screen. As players tap and connect like-colored moon monsters, more pour in from the top. However, to make things more interesting, players have to beat a time limit in each level of the classic mode. In the beginning rounds, this is very easy. Around level four is when it starts to get hairy.

And around this time is when players need to understand the importance of the killer power-ups as mindless tapping of critters will only allow them to cruise through the first few levels. Once the star counter increases, so does the importance of utilizing the killer power-ups such as the splash critter that explodes and dyes everything around it the same color enabling players to remove several of the Mooniz at one time for an even bigger star bonus. This will prove integral to progressing through the harder levels. However, after you run out there is only one way to gather more and that’s with coins. Players can earn more coins through regular gameplay or pay for them via in-app purchases.

What’s Hot:

• It’s $.99 for a lot of connect-three color-matching goodness
• The Mooniz make Michael Jackson type high pitched voices
• The difficulty of the game brings in an element of strategy

What’s Not:

• Limited coins for more killer power-ups
• Paying for more coins
• As much as I like the difficulty of the game… it’s a bit too tough sometimes
• I’m barely breaking 150,000 points and the top of the leaderboard is well over 1 million

Final Verdict: With its cute cuddly creatures, addictive gameplay and killer power-ups, Mooniz makes for hours of fun. Albeit, some of that fun will be very frustrating at times as you try to move up the points ladder. For $.99, it’s a must buy as it is a very refreshing entry for the mostly mundane connect-three game category.

ClubWorld now available in the app store.

Now available in the app store, ClubWorld transforms players into nightclub VIPs, giving them the ability to design and operate their own club, play select music from one’s iTunes library or purchase and download new music from the iTunes Store. The ClubWorld app also features branded clubs from two of music’s biggest DJs and producers, Tiësto and David Guetta.

“I’m a huge fan of music games and all genres of music, so I was excited to work with Tapulous on ClubWorld,” said ground-breaking DJ and producer Tiësto. “I love that the game turns the fantasy of having your own club into a reality. There is amazing energy when you bring people together to listen to music and it’s that feeling that really drives me and all that I do.”

Tracks from Tiësto’s new album, Club Life, Vol. 1 Las Vegas, can be heard in his ClubWorld mix.

“I spend my life in clubs spinning music around the planet; it’s my passion and it brings people together” said Grammy award-winning artist, producer and DJ, David Guetta. “ClubWorld is a great game to build one virtually and share favorite music and experiences with others.”

In the ClubWorld App, each player hires a DJ, bartender and bouncer to operate his or her club, which can then be customized with the player’s choice of furniture, speakers, dance floor, bar and more. Players can also visit the ClubWorld main street to enter other players’ clubs and make new friends through the app’s innovative music matchmaking system.

In addition to Game Center support, the beautifully rendered visuals are optimized for the Retina Display on iPhone 4. ClubWorld also includes mini-games that take advantage of Multi-Touch interface and accelerometer on iPhone and iPod touch.

“Tapulous has once again redefined the music gaming experience on the iPhone with the launch of ClubWorld,” said Bart Decrem, co-founder of Tapulous. “The app takes the aspirational experience of owning your own club, filling it with your favorite music and friends and makes it not only mobile, but incredibly fun. With Tiësto and David Guetta – hands down two of the biggest DJs in the world – featured in this app, showcasing their own clubs is a testament of the quality of the ClubWorld App.”

The app can be downloaded from the iTunes app store here.
