"I use Gmail Priority Inbox on my Nexus One and have been raving about the massive time-saving potential. Instead of pulling my phone out of my pocket 30 times a day just to ignore a non-important message or local deal, I'm only notified when I need to be. I then spend ten minutes in the evening processing the less pressing messages and replying to fringe contacts. Its dead simple to train and impressive at determining what's important to me. Now I have much more time to write comments about time-saving email technologies." - Greg Santos

Swedish software and design company The Astonishing Tribe, also known as TAT, has been developing a rather astonishing augmented reality application for mobile phones. Originally built as a software concept, the Android app called "Recongnizr" is a mobile prototype that allows you to use your phone in order to "see" who a person is and what web services and social networks they're connected to. App users can also associate traditional address book details with their profile like their full name, address, phone number and email, for example. And all of this data can be accessed just by aiming your mobile phone at someone's face. Sponsor We first looked at TAT's mobile concept back in July of last year. At that time, the application was called "Augmented ID." Using facial recognition and tracking technology from Polar Rose, a photo tagging startup, the app is able to match 3D models of faces captured with the phone's camera to those stored in a database on remote servers. This matching... - Greg Santos

As important as phones can be in our daily lives, there are some reasons to avoid them entirely. Here are ten such reasons which may actually succeed in turning you into an anti-social, handsaw-owning phone avoider..

Most social media monitoring tools track mentions of your brand and then score whether the sentiment is positive or negative. But how do people position your product in their minds? What connections do they make? And how should you respond in ad messaging? Data visualization guru Jeff Clark has created four tools that give new insights, including the Twitter StreamGraph shown above. StreamGraph shows the last 1,000 tweets about a term with the other words most closely associated with it, with waves denoting the frequency of each mention. Kleenex brand managers, for instance, obviously know their product goes with colds and noses, but the concurrent waves of "movies" and "men" might give them new ideas for ad messaging. Scott Berinato at HBR notes that such data visualization tools are still in their infancy. Or maybe not. We have to wonder what the boys behind the Facebook curtain are doing with all our pokes and Farmville messages. - Greg Santos

At Maximum PC, computer hardware is our bread and butter. We review it, preview it, and just generally love to talk about it. Unfortunately, hardware becomes less important with each passing day, as more and more software moves onto the internet. We're not looking forward to the day that our PC's become Chrome OS-style thin client, but we have to admit, some web apps are pretty awesome. So to help you prepare for a future in the cloud, we've put together a list of 30 of our favorite web apps and services. We've tried to keep them on the lesser-known side, but a few of the classic have snuck their way in. Check out our list, and then hit the comments and share your favorites. ScreenToaster ScreenToaster is a web app designed to make life a whole lot easier for every family’s “computer expert.” And since you’re reading Maximum PC, we’re assuming that’s you.
