Yeah There's An App For That

I got this in an email and thought it was a joke...but umm they are dead serious...and I, for one, think it's GENIUS

 

TechCrunch's Leena Rao reports "for men looking to have some sort of forewarning of their girlfriend or partner’s “time of the month,” PMSBuddy has got you covered. PMSbuddy’s iPhone app allows users to track the menstrual cycles of the women in their lives in the hope of notifying men and helping them cope with the dreaded PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and its effects."

Great isn't it? As ridiculous as it sounds to a woman, the service is currently being used by over 100,000 people worldwide, via an iPhone app, a website and Facebook widget. PMSBuddy is launching a new version of its iPhone app that will offer push notifications of upcoming PMS and the the ability to locate flower shops near you (via GPS). PMSBuddy will also be rolling out similar applications for Android and Blackberry phones. Does anyone else see how clever this is?? I'm getting a new Blackberry next week and you can bet your bottom dollar that this will be on my phone :)

"And PMSBuddy is expanding to other verticals. The startup will soon be launching Fertility Buddy, which allows women to track when they are ovulating to increase (or decrease) the likelihood of conception. Similar apps to PMSBuddy include MyMate and iAmAMan."

Tweet Me?

Twitter me doesn't sound correct, I think it's tweet me. Whatever it is, it's all new to me and if I'm going to stay motivated to retweet or twitpic or whatever, I'm going to need some followers...if you have Twitter hit me up @blackhercules21

I'm trying to stay consistent with the blog and twitter and the facebook etc...because let's face it, my life is a lot more interesting than yours and you want to know what I'm doing the majority of the time. Stop fooling yourself.

I'm also trying to make a more concerted effort to stay in touch with a lot of you, therefore if you have a blackberry, I need your pin...we can BBM...so do what you do and hallelujah hollaback at your boy

I Want A Pager

Well, not really, but do you remember the days when pagers were the sh*t? I think I was in 6th grade when everyone in New York city was getting a pager...except me that was. I had the bubble gum case shaped like a pager and I pretended to be cool. I still think pagers were a great concept though. A little more instant than calling and leaving a message at the house, but nothing too overwhelming.

Obviously, next came the cell phone. I'm not talking the ones you can fit in your pocket either, you remember those Zach Morris cell phones that were bigger than a brick right? Again, wasn't cool enough or important enough to have one of those, but my dad let me use his pager sometimes. It was pointless too because I never had a quarter to call someone back from the payphone, but maaaan did I love the look of it.

So then, around highschool, the cell phones got advanced. All my friends were chirping with each other or AIMing from their Sidekicks. But me, absolutely not. I brought my Motorola DynaTAC 8000X to class one day and immediately realized if I ever wanted to have a friend I would have to burn that phone, along with my orange sweatpants.

Saying all of that to say, now that the G1 and iPhones are getting popular, I decided to go ahead and purchase a blackberry curve. Yeah the 8310. At least I'm closing the gap though...I'll be there one day.

PS For anyone who has a blackberry...hit me up with your pin
