Since I’m all over the place when it comes to social networking sites, it’s really easy to become so disorganized when it comes to logging into these sites, reading updates, commenting, messaging and friending. It’s all very daunting to even think about. Despite this, my resolution for this year is to be more organized and on top of things in the world of social networking sites. More »

Smartphones and gadgets are made to make our lives easier, connect with the world during our every move. But one guy took it to another level.
