Upgrade Time: iPhone Facebook App.

June 21, 2010 - Facebook pushed out a new version of their iPhone application which includes a few upgrades including the ability to watch Facebook Video.  Other upgrades with this newer version include: the ability to view/write on walls of events and upload photos that are 720 pixels wide.

The only upgrade developers have left out this time around is the ability for users to tag or un-tag themselves in photos (sigh).  The app. also has a tendency to not work or load properly, but I think this minor bug will be perfected with more upgrades.  At least Facebook is dedicated to refining their app so users can access Facebook anytime, anywhere.  Convenience and simplicity is definitely the way to win Facebook user’s over.

App of the Week: myPersonality

myPersonality is a questionnaire is not like the myriad of personality test floating through the Facebook network.  This one is actually used in psychological research and is a simple series of questions about yourself.  You can choose to keep your results private or make them public and you can also choose whether to have your results used in psych research or not.

The fun part is the results!  The test measures 5 aspects of your personality (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism) and shows how you measure up!  It also tells you how you measure up against the rest of the population that has taken the test.  I found the results to be extremely reflective of my personality.  There may have been one or two minor things that I wasn’t too sure about, but overall it appears to be pretty accurate!  You also get the results of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator which is a really popular test.
