Facebook Application Review of doTogether

Let's do It, on Facebook

Today's Facebook Application Review is about the interesting app called doTogether which enables you to start an activity or ask a question and get real time answers from friends in the form of actionable links with images/videos.

When you install this Facebook Application the first thing that you will be asked is "What do you want to do"... and from there this Social collaboration tool will let you engage on a live conversation around your friend's recommendations around this topic. Also you will be able to bookmark URLs, with different sources of related information so as to organize better the thing that you want to do.This Facebook app will also give you the possibility to install what they define as the doTogether tool which is a browser add on that will make easier the process of bookmarking related elements to the Application from the Web.

As the developers of this Facebook Application describe on their site " If you are searching the web, start an activity and invite your friends to help you along. Do it together. It's fun, easy and saves you time."

Overall the design of this Application looks fine as well as the UI. If I could suggest for some improvements that would be to organize better the way the information is displayed because some times I felt that something was missing along the way.

Overall this is a cool concept and a good Facebook Application, so my qualification for this Facebook Review is 4.1 out of 5. So next time you know, before doing it alone you can do it together with your Facebook friends, with this App.

Facebook Application Review of Avastar

Avatars walking down on FACEBOOK


Today's Facebook Application Review is about the new app, still in Beta called Avastar which will take you to a whole new dimension of what is called virtual worlds.

The main idea of this Facebook Application is to offer to the users a new level of entertainment by creating an almost unlimited universe of games and options inside the new world that they offer. The main idea to become Famous and Rich, how you do it??.. well there is a long way for that!!!

To get started with this Facebook Application you will need to create your Avatar. For those who are not familiar with this word, an Avatar is a fictional character (which represents your persona) that interacts with other avatars in virtual environments. The cool thing with Avatars is that they are customizable, and along time and experience things and features can be added to it.


The main idea of this application is to go over different experiences which will reward us with money and points that later we will be able to trade for goods, and upgrades. For example you can use an object such as your telephone to call a PR agent that can help you to win extra Hotness points. This points of hotness most probably in the near future will let you go through things easier.

So the main idea of this Facebook Application is to go beyond the traditional games, and offer to the Facebook users a new adventure through out different layers of interaction with the Application as well as with your friends that use it at the same time.

Overall this Facebook Application is a great entertainment for those who are into virtual worlds, so if you are into this type of games, where everything must be achieved by following different steps, then this great application is for you.


As I said before they are still in Beta, so you might bump into some bugs, but still the whole experience can be achieved. The graphics of this Facebook Application are amazing, as well as the way all the elements have been put together making it very attractive and addictive (in the good way of course)

My qualification for this Facebook Review is 4.5 out of 5, and my recommendation is to give it a try even if this will be your first time in Applications based on virtual worlds, only the first scenarios that you will see make it worth to check!

Facebook Application Review of ClipGenerator

Custom Music Clips on FACEBOOK

Today's Facebook Application Review is about the new and redesigned app called ClipGenerator which allows you to create your own Musical Clip.

When you install this Facebook Application the first thing that you will see is a sample of what you can do with this app. Basically the idea of this application is to help you to create your personalize Music Clip by following three simple steps.

The first thing that you will have to do while creating your Clip with the ClipGenerator Facebook Application is to select your favorite music out of a very extended list of hits. Once that step is done you will have to go through the "Personalize" step where you will be able to upload pictures from your Facebook Account as well as some other useful sources such as Picasa, Photobucket, etc.

The last step on this Facebook Application is to Review the final result of the created Clip, which for sure will not deceive you.

I must say that while I wad writing this Facebook Review I got very impressed by the high quality of this Application. The user Interface is perfect as well as the navigation and the final result that you will get.

The qualification for this Facebook Review is 4.6 out of 5. This Facebook Application is a great tool to create this type of presentations/clips.
