It’s an exciting time for Games Overboard. More specifically it’s an exciting time for me. I have been submerged in the world of old technology for the last few years. I work as a repair technician for musical instruments. Our industry hasn’t really changed much in the last……. couple centuries. Well, recently I dove headfirst into the world of the technologically elite. I got a Droid. No, not the robot, although that would be even cooler by any standard. I got a smart phone, and boy is it changing what I’m doing with games overboard.
I started looking for apps for the phone, and the first thing I found, or rather found me was that my phone automatically linked my Gmail and Facebook contacts. I can see and communicate with the people from both areas instantly. I can also post on the wall of the GAmes Overboard group and on my personal wall instantly.
I further delved into the realm of instant updates when I got the Bettr Flickr app (I think I paid $1.99 for it). I can set it up to post pics directly to the Games Overboard Photostream, so you amy have seen a ton of new on-site pics over the last week.
Add to that the ability to Tweet from the phone, and that about rounds it out.
But WAIT! THERE’S More.
My favorite thing I’ve found is that I can actually capture video from my phone in decent resolution and with the Free YouTube App upload on the Go. I’ve already uploaded three short clips to youtube. and I’m calling the mini-casts “Overboard on the Road”
I can also record my plays and look up info using the boardgamegeek applications, so I can keep a running count of the games I play. I’m hoping to integrate a real time feed that tells the last ten games I’ve played.
It’s a little overwhelming how connected I am now, but I’m really enjoying it. Let me know of any other apps I need to get or ways that I can reach out to you even more. I love gaming, and I love our Fans, so let’s hear from you
