Must have Social media apps on the iPhone

Facebook – Facebook for iPhone makes it easy to stay connected and share information with friends. Use your iPhone to start a conversation with Facebook Chat, check your friend’s latest photos and status updates, look up a phone number or upload your own mobile photos to Facebook while on the go.

Twitterific / Twitterfon – If you are like me and have more than one twitter account but too cheap to buy the Tweetie app on iPhone which supports multiple Twitter account, then these two apps are the solution. I have one connected to the digitocrat twitter account and the other to my personal niroism twitter account. These apps allow me to read and publish tweets, post photos, location updates e.t.c on to the twitter social network.

Twinkle – Another Twitter app, but makes use of location allowing you to discover interesting people near you and around the world.

Wordpress – The brilliant Wordpress app allows you to connect to multiple wordpress blogs and make updates to your blogs on the move. It also has the capability to save local drafts and post pictures. Without doubt the best app for all you bloggers out there.

Nimbuzz – using Nimbuzz you can combine all your IM list into one, including, Yahoo!Messenger, AIM, Facebook, Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger, ICQ e.t.c Chat with your social network friends and messenger buddies using this nifty lil app.

Skype – The ever popular Skype app is now on the iPhone and having used it quite a few times over the past week am absolutely in love with it. I can call people on my skype list from all over the world for free (Wi-Fi required). A definite must download.

Free RSS – A nice little free RSS reader without ads. Add multiple number of feeds to this app.

eBay – eBayers all over the world would love this app. Buyers can sneak in that last-minute bid on a hard-to-fine item, sellers can check on their sales and everyone can act on time-sensitive information on the spot without a computer.

LinkedIn – Now you can always be connected to your professional network using the LinkedIn app. Get the latest updates from your network, quickly find needed contact information with improved search, learn more about the person you are about to meet, and keep your network up-to-date with status updates.

Skout – A decent little app for all you singles out there, which shows you nearby singles. Though the number of males on this app seem to outnumber the females 10:1.

Shazam – Not really a social media app, but probably the best app on the iPhone and a definite must have on everyone’s iPhone. With Shazam you can identify music tracks, but them and share tags with friends. It is incredibly accurate. Love this app.
