On May 7, 2012 our Marketing Chick was once again on 1530AM WVBF's show, Taunton Tech Talk. We talked all about Twitter for business, Foursquare and other apps. If you're looking to add some cool apps to your smartphone or tablet, check out this deck for some great ideas!

1. Apps: What Are They & What

2. Smartphone & Tablet Apps
The word “app” is a noun, and it’s short for
“application.” Application in this case refers to a
software application — in other words, a software
program.
An app is a special type of software program. An app
typically refers to software used on a smartphone or
mobile device such as the Android, iPhone, BlackBerry
or iPad, as in “mobile app” or “iPhone app.” But the
phrase “Web app” or “online app” is also used in a
business setting as an abbreviation for “Web
application” or “online application” — meaning software
that you access and use while online, via a
browser, instead of software residing on your computer
(such as Microsoft Word).
