'Pheed', the big boom

 According to the website american-infobae.com (2013). The application 'Pheed' is a blast between teenagers, condired 'a mix between facebook, twitter, tumblr and youtube' by the creator, it's the new sensation.

The success began when the users of the social networking started commenting on their instagram and blogs about this new app. Then all their friends started using it, which became a chain effect.

The app became "App of the year" according to CNN (2012), because of it's design and creativity, with a excelent slogan "A new way to express yourself".

I think this app has every thing you could ask on a social networking, but we don't know how far it will go on popularity, and maybe it could just work for those with a big group of friends. Other wise, I do recommend this app for everyone who wants to get a new way to keep in touch with their peers.

I give 'Pheed' an 8 out of 10 for it's functionality and a 6 out of 10 for not being quite original at some point.

Here's another review that could help you to decide whether you like this app or not.

The PlayStation 4 with backwards compatibility?


James Revington (2013) "The PS4 has been announced by Sony! At long last we've had our first look at the new PlayStation and so far it looks very... next-geny. With TechRadar in attendance at the event on the 20th Feb, Sony revealed some tantalising details about the PlayStation 4 hardware specs, along with some amazing software features that the new console will have. Sadly, and almost unbelievably, we STILL don't know what the PS4 looks like. However, we do know it's coming out in the US in time for Christmas 2013, we know about the DualShock 4 controller and we've seen the new interface and a lot of the features it delivers. Here's everything we know about the PlayStation 4 so far. The PS4 will definitely not offer native support for PS3 games. However, there will at some point be a service on the Sony Entertainment Network that offers server-side emulation and streaming of games from PS One classics right through to PS3 Platinum Editions."

It represents a great news for all gamers out there who were expecting to play their old play station games. They may have to buy then again online, but now it is possible to play the old classics like 'Crash Badicoot', the first two 'Resident Evil' Games and many others.
However, they should had made this new feature bigger than what it is. Either start making remakes of our favorite games or just letting the user use their old consoles games on the new PS4.
