Friday Fun Day: Group Me & Bump

We think Fridays should be fun, but unfortunately, it’s still a work day. To make your Friday just that much better, every week we’ll post a review of two apps. One app to help you get your work (or net-work) together, and one for just a bit of fun!

This coming week, the Red Feathers will be returning to the scene of where it all started, the ASTD International Conference and Exposition. Today's Friday Fun Day is lovingly dedicated to all of you. Special thanks to Austin who originally introduced us to Group Me, Dennis who reminded me to download Bump for the conference, and Sean for some of the humor in today's review.

Productivity App: Group Me
Platform: Android/iPhone/Blackberry/Desktop/SMS
Cost: Free

In a world of constant connectivity, we need an app that allows us to get even more connected! Group Me isn't just an app, it's a service that allows you to add up to 50 people to a texting group. Receive the texts as SMS messages or push them to app so you don't go over your wireless plan limit. Keep your networking fingers flying and share everything from pics of the perogies you can't stop eating to the last goodbye before you shut your eyes at night. Excellent for keeping your network close! Red Feather used and endorsed!

Productivity App: Bump
Platform: Android/iPhone
Cost: Free

This app has got to be the easiest way to trade contact information and photos that I have ever seen. Pull up the app and bump phones with another smartphone user who has the app. One bump and you're done! Bump your neighbors, bump your friends and even bump your co-workers (just not in front of HR!)

Happy Friday!
