Quixey: An App Search Engine that Understands You

October 21st, 2011 | 3 Comments | Posted in Technology

Where do you usually search for apps? Google? Bing? Yahoo!? – Or the native search engine of the platform that caters the apps? Well, you can ditch the search engines that I’ve mentioned and head over to Quixey. It’s your one stop search tool for any app that you’ll need. You can search for iOS apps, Andriod Apps, Windows Apps, Chrome Apps, Firefox Add Ons, Etc.

What makes Quixey different from your favorite search engine is that not only is it focused on apps, it understands natural language. This means that it will understand you and deliver the app you need. It will help you find the app that’s suitable for you, ranked based on their algorithm. You need not type the exact name of the app or keywords that describes the app if you’re looking for a task specific app for your needs.

How do they do this?

Quixey invented Functional Search specifically for apps. With Quixey, you do not need to know an app’s name or its official description to find the right app. Unlike traditional search engines, Quixey constantly scans blogs, review sites, forums and social media outlets to learn what each app can do and how people use it. Quixey uses this data to help users find the apps they need across all platforms. Since we have a thorough understanding of each app, Functional Search is not dependent on keywords.

Watch the short video to get a glimpse of Quixey in action.

Android: Use Any Browser to Send and Receive (SMS) Text Messages

August 16th, 2011 | Comments Off | Posted in Tips N Tricks

BrowserTexting is an Andriod app that will enable you to send and receive text messages (SMS) on your browser. This app will work on any Android Phone with version 2.2 or higher. You’ll be able to send and receive messages through your current mobile number via your Android Phone.

 

How it works:

Simply download the BrowserTexting Android app and go to the BrowserTexting website. After installing the app on your phone, connect your browser and Android mobile. You can scan the QR code found on BrowserTexting to connect your phone with the current browser that you are using. Your phone will be paired with your browser until you close your browser. You can send text messages for as long as your browser is paired with your phone.

If you don’t want to constantly pair your phone with your browser, you’re going to have to use a Chrome Browser and a BrowserTexting Chrome Extension. If you’re default (favorite) browser is Chrome, then you’ll have less trouble with the BrowserTexting app. You’ll also be able to get popup alerts every time someone sends you a text message (SMS).

Features:

Group SMS (SMS to an unlimited number of recipients)

Delivery status (also on group SMS)

KnockinLive.Com: Live Video Sharing App for Apple/iPhone and Android Users

April 20th, 2010 | Comments Off | Posted in Technology

KnockingLive is a phone app which allows you to instantly share a live feed video with friends. This benefits both iPhone and Android users as of this moment. KnockingLive is also planning on making the app compatible with BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Mobile and Palm phones.

All you need to do is to download the app from the AppStore if you are an iPhone user and get it from the Android MarketPlace if you have an android phone. Once downloaded and installed, you can immediately “knock” on your friends’ phones and begin your real time video feed.

What makes KnockingLive very interesting is that it supports both Android and Apple. Users of both platforms (and soon other phone OS) will be able to share and receive video feeds. If you have an Andriod Phone, you don’t need to get an iPhone just to see what the other guy is streaming from his iPhone. All you need is the app and you can view video feeds from anyone you are in contact with.
