Back it Up I tell you!
So the other day my husband says we need to update your phone. Ok great, he says make sure you save your contacts and all your pictures and videos.
I go and make sure everything was synced and copied my pictures to the computer. All set and I tell him, go ahead and do your thing. So he goes and updates the phone, and starts doing his thing. Once he was done, he hands me the phone and says make sure everything is there. All my media still in place, but all my contacts were gone. Ok not bad all I have to do is sync it with my Gmail.
When I checked my Gmail account, all my contacts were gone! What?! This can’t be happening, how are all my contacts gone, missing? I even tried to restore those, but nope, nothing, nada.
I’m thinking this can’t be happening, but it was and it did. So now I’m upset because I had so many contacts and numbers in there and now are gone.
I was having a conversation with a friend last night, and she asked I haven’t heard from you. I begin to explain to her what happened. Then I said these are the times I do miss my actual book I used to carry. Nothing ever went missing.
Sometimes I think we under-estimate how important they are until things like this happens.
Has this ever occurred to you? Do you have a back up?
My question to you?
Do you prefer Foursquare or Yelp?
OK this is a silly question, but would like to know what your opinion is. Do you prefer Foursquare or Yelp. They seem to be both the same, Check in, Reviews, Badges, mayorship. I see a difference where you can chat with others in the area on Yelp. Some have posted questions and we can answer.
I am also seeing that people can compliment you and leave reviews for you on Yelp, something that I have not seen on Foursquare. Another thing that I have also found out is that the iPhone 4S Siri uses Yelp when locating restaurants, gyms and even Real Estate companies when you ask for her opinion. She is using these reviews on Yelp. Now whether or not this is true, am I not sure. Maybe you can answer that question for me? I think both are big for us in the Real Estate industry. It shows how much we know about particular areas, as far as communities, apartment complexes, best places to get the best deal and where to eat. More and more people will connect with us there and should be used more often.
I have been using Foursquare for some time now and just now have joined Yelp. The thing is there is so much social media, and the common problem in this industry is which one does the consumer prefer? I want to be able to connect on your most favorite sites so we can build a friendship.
So in your opinion which do you think is better?
Are we friends on Foursquare or Yelp? If not click on the links above and let’s connect, and lookout for a Review Request from Yelp because your opinion of my service matters.

External Lens for the iPhone
External Wide Angle Lens
Do you like taking pictures with your iPhone?
Do you ever wish you could zoom in on an object, or could get just a little more of a room? Well guess what? There are external lens you can buy to put on the phone.
The lens is attach magnetically. I recently purchased a set of lens for my phone. Being in Real Estate, there are times that I am taking pictures of a listing, I hate carring so many different tools. My phone, my camera, my video camera, tripod, and other things. Having these lens help me by not having to carry all of those.
I can take video and AWESOME pictures with the iPhone, and with the new lens it makes it sooo much better. I had the chance yesterday to take some pictures of a listing I have with the new Wide Angle lens. Here are some pictures of rooms with and without the lens.
- External Wide Angle Lens
Here I love the fact I was able to get the whole room with the lens. If I didn’t have the lens, I would not have been able to fill the picture with the whole room.
Give the full range, makes it better for a potential buyer to see the actual room. What do you think?
- External Wide Angle Lens
Here is the kitchen, again you can see how much more you are able to fill the picture up with the whole room. Now it doesn’t look as small as if we went without the wide angle.

iPhone App Sundays-ColorSplash……
I love my iPhone. I have had one since the original 2G came out. Another thing I love is taking pictures, and with my iPhone I can enjoy the best of both worlds.
I have noticed more and more apps for photography. Some free and some you need to pay, but inexpensive. Over the next few weeks I will cover some of the photo apps for the iPhone that I love to use. So on Sundays look for more apps that I am currently using…
ColorSplash is one…Taking a normal pic and turning it into black and white and concentrating on one object and bringing back its color. I have some samples here….
Now on the right you can see that I removed the color out from the Scarecrow and left the color of the pumpkins. Now if you wanted to leave the scarecrow and take away the pumpkins you could have done that too..
Here is another picture I took at a Farmers Market in Tamarac of some veggies. Then I took the app and concentrated on one at the top of the pile. Came out pretty cool….
So if you are like me and love to take pictures and love to do new things with them like these here. You can use the ColorSplash… This one in the Apple App store is for .99 cents. Not bad for a fun app….
Let me know what you think! Do you have a favorite iPhone App? Let me know so I can try it out!
