I Like Instagram For Android – After two years for dominating the iPhone world, Instagram, one of my favourite photography social app is now finally landed on Android. I was kinda disappointed in waiting for the app already, but in a sudden, it pops up in the Google Play Store with surprise.

I downloaded it right away and found out that it’s pretty same with the iPhone version with less sharing option. After all, you still will see a wonderful experience on it with the cool filter effect for your photography. After the release of the app, my friends followers increased and also many iPhone user dislike about the release of this app because they think that this makes the iPhone no difference and special anymore.

What do you think? Download Instagram for Android now on Google Play Store.

Video: Steve Jobs Life In Facebook Timeline – A Singaporean web and mobile developer has made a Facebook Timeline profile for the Apple co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs which tells the story of Steve Jobs from the day he’s born to the day he passed away.

It’s a nice way to learn and read more about Steve Jobs, unfortunately, the profile has been taken down after a while of online at Facebook. Not many people has really seen the Facebook Timeline profile. No worry, you still can get a chance to take a look at it, but is through the screenshot video. Check the video out below.

Free McDonalds Voucher Facebook Scam – Today, I received many invitation in Facebook asking me to invite friends to the page in return that I will get McDonald’s voucher. The value of voucher depends on the number of invite I’ve sent. So, I want to share with you guys that it’s actually a scam and don’t waste your time on it. Although you won’t lose anything, but you will waste your time asking your friend to visit that page.

If you follow the instruction and hoping to get some McDonald’s voucher, you will end up on a survey site which is useless. Don’t fall for the scam and good luck.

New Twitter Welcome Screen – Haven’t use the Twitter web interface for quite some times and only now I know that they have changed their welcome screen to become more stylish and cool. Instead of intro Twitter about telling what people you are doing, Twitter is more about what’s happening with people and organizations.

The New TweetDeck By Twitter Desktop App – Last year, TweetDeck was bought by Twitter and now finally Twitter has finally launched the official TweetDeck by Twitter app for the desktop on Windows and Mac. The old app that runs through Adobe AIR system still works.

It has a little redesign in the interface with the new TweetDeck logo, and a wider column, as well as new UI for posting status.

I like TweetDeck and have been a user for it for quite a long time because TweetDeck makes reading particular tweet easy. I can create column for tweets that I want to follow as well as manage several Twitter profiles, as well as Facebook profile.

You can download it for Windows here and Mac version on the Mac App Store.

Facebook Chat On Windows With Messenger for Windows – Are you a frequent user of the Facebook Chat? Now you don’t have to turn on your browser, go to Facebook.com to chat with you friend. You can download the Facebook’s Messenger for Windows, which is a standalone app that you can install on your Windows system and chat with your friends.

The Messenger for Windows includes the chat system, notification system and friend request, it’s just like Facebook ported into an application. UI doesn’t change a bit from the Facebook, so nothing to fancy much about it. It also has pop-up notification to show your Facebook activity like who like or post on your wall, status, photos and more.

One more thing, I find the UI quite boring, despite having a standalone app, it should somehow has a different standalone design.

You can download it now for free on Facebook. Check out the help centre for more details.

Best Twitter App On Android – TweetDeck - Despite the redesign on Twitter 4.0 app on Android, I pick TweetDeck as my favourite Twitter app on Android. It’s free, the theme is dark and the best part of all is the easy access to different column with just a swipe. Same as on the desktop, TweetDeck classifies different tweets into column, like Main Timeline, Replies, Private Message, List and people who I want to follow.

This makes reading tweets easier and faster for me. On the official Twitter app, I would have to press this and that to go to List, or to read a friend’s tweet. With TweetDeck, I can just swipe through the column for all the tweets that I want to read.

TweetDeck on Android also has two widgets that can be placed on your home screen which give you faster access to TweetDeck and to compose your Tweet, as well as a camera button for you to shoot and tweet.

How about you? What’s your favourite Twitter application on Android?

Download TweetDeck on Android Market for free.

How To: Install Facebook For iPad App. Few weeks ago, I talked about the leaked and backdoor to get the Facebook for iPad application. It was blocked by Facebook in less then a day and I couldn’t login to the Facebook for iPad app anymore. However, I have found a solution on how to access it and have been using it for a few days already.

Some have ask me where to download the Facebook For iPad app but then you don’t really need to download it as you already have it if you have the latest version of Facebook for iPhone on your iPad. You just need to do some tweak to change your Facebook to the iPad version.

One thing you must have is a JAILBROKEN iPad. Follow the instruction below to get your Facebook for iPad app. (Thanks to TNW).

1. Check for updates to make sure you have the latest version of Facebook from the App Store. Also, backup your iPad in iTunes.
2. Visit jailbreakme.com from your iPad. Jailbreaking your iPad is legal, but voids your warranty if you bring your iPad into an Apple Store. It’s easy to undo if need be. Just pug your iPad into your computer and restore it from your previous backup. (If you are running iOS 4.3.3, this will NOT work.)
3. Once the jailbreak process is complete, tap on Cydia, that was just installed on your iPad.
4. Tap the Search tab in Cydia and search for iFile. Download it using the button in the upper right hand corner.
5. Once iFile installs, open it up, and navigate to the “var” folder of your iPad. Then go to “mobile,” then “applications,” then “directory.”
6. Click the settings gear icon in the bottom navigation bar and turn “Application Names” to “On.”
7. Open the Facebook folder within the “directory” folder you’re inside of. Once you’re inside the Facebook folder, open Facebook.app.
8. Look for the info.plist file, then open it. Pick “Property List Viewver” to view the hexadecimal settings for the Facebook app.
9. Look for the UIDeviceFamily field and select it.
10. Delete the 1 you see, and put a 2 in instead. Tap “Done” to complete the process.
11. Hold down your power button to reboot your iPad.
12. Then go to Cydia again and seach for Faceforward.
13. Download and install it.
14. Launch your new Facebook app and you are now in.

Cydia hack to allow you to login to Facebook.

It’s a little bit buggy, Page is not working as it crashes but overall it looks good. But if were to compare to MyPad, MyPad seems better than this. Tell me what do you think after trying it.

Jedhub – A Made In Malaysia’s Facebook Is Coming Soon. Does this sounds curious to you when Facebook is dominating the world’s social network service? Facebook can be said as the king of social network but what’s when a Malaysian-made Facebook, the Jedhub arrive?

I was surfing on a local Malaysian forum and came across the link on some user’s footer. With much of curiosity, I went to check out the site and it has a start-up’s Interest page. Unfortunately, I was denied to submit my form of interest due to I was using Firefox. It recommends the use of Google Chrome browser which is pretty funny and it’s my first time I came across such website.

It aims to deliver a stylish social network experience. Noted that “stylish” is the keyword for this social networking site. Personal opinion thinks that the name is not really very stylish, yet I would love to see a Malaysian’s start-up and I love stylish stuff too. I have submitted my form of interest and waiting for the launch of the site. We will see how this Jedhub comes into our social networking life. Can Jedhub replaces the Facebook? Probably not, but let’s see will it runs side by side with our Facebook in the future.
