Crackle - You have to include Crackle. Crackle is free. It has movies and tv episodes....but even better? Episodes of Seinfeld. Crackle is typically a bit cheesy with its movie repertoire but there is usually a few solid movies on there....
SparkPeople - If you are trying to eat healthy, exercise more or watch certain nutrient intake (salt/sugar) then SparkPeople is a must. Or FitnessPal. Both are free.

Thing #20 - Games
Move over Candy Crush....I know have BubbleMania. Once in a while I like a nice little game when I am relaxing and waiting for my brain to shut off. I am also a fan of Words with Friends. It's a fun way to interact and I always have a couple games going with my best friend and a cousin in Washington state. I like that there is that social aspect with Words with Friends. (If you are not a fan of Scrabble you can try the Hanging with Friends - which is Hangman.)
Thing #16 - iPadio
I tried out iPadio. iPadio was user-friendly and did what it said it would. :) I was reading its background story and see that it was first used for nonprofits and corporations. Interestingly enough, several of its most interesting users are explorers/adventurers because of its ability to be so immediate. It would be a fun way to broadcast interviews and talks that guest authors give at our annual Friends event (if permission was granted). Personally, it would be a lot of fun to use when visiting with relatives and getting family stories to share with other relatives. It also has a function where a person can record a phone call...hmm.
Thing #15 - Infographics
First, I just wanted to share a website I have really liked that I have recently used in the last couple months to create some infographics: Piktochart. I downloaded and tried Infographics Hub since iVisual Info Touch Lite appears to be gone (for now). I liked that I could favorite infographics on Infographics Hub but really, infographics just don't seem to be a medium I want to be making and looking at on a device smaller than a desktop or larger laptop computer. It's a bit tedious. I'd rather Google my phrase or look on Pinterest for interesting collections.

Thing #14 - Videos
One of my co-workers has been sharing grandbaby pics she gets from her daughter via Vine. So I figured I'd go with Vine. Vine's short and easy format kept the videos casual. None of my videos were masterpieces but I liked that I was forced to keep it short and sweet. I was even able to convince one of my girlfriends to sign up and swap videos with me. Cat videos. That's right I said it. Cat videos. Can't wait to get a video of one of my cats snoring...because I know who I will share it with. :)
