If I Die Facebook app is a little creepy

OK. So let me get this straight. Now there’s a Facebook app (If I die) that lets me tell my friends that I’m dead after, well, I’m dead. Too creepy. But it’s true. I can pass along a written post and/or video when I’m six feet under. No, I’m not kidding. Here’s a video to prove it.

More info here.

Will you use this app?

Storify now an iPad app

You know how I love Storify, right? I mean, here are just some of the stories I’ve done. Thing is, I had to do them on my desktop or laptop. No more. Now there’s an iPad app and it’s FREE! *Happy Dance*

I love that this social media storytelling tool is more portable and allows me to pull together Storify stories wherever I am. I can’t wait to try it. Good move developers.
