Digital Marketing and Web Strategy by Bob Hazlett | One Half Amazing!

In the past, when I went to the grocery, I usually made very poor decisions. I picked items (a) closest to the cash register so I could spend as little time possible in that hell hole (2) items with a cartoon animal on the front of the packaging or (3) items that offered a free prize.

That’s why I’m a big fan of Fooducate. So, now when I head to the grocery I simply fire up the app and scan the barcode on all my over-processed goodness.

The app makes it super easy on my feeble brain and gives each food a basic grade. It highlights the benefits of that particular food and and also cautions if it contains too much sugar, fat, additives, etc, etc. Fooducate will also go on and recommend another brand or closely related food that would work as a substitute.  Genius!

Fooducate is free in the app store so go download it today.

Google Goggles, the app that allows users to search the web by simply taking a picture and has been exclusive to Android is coming to iPhone in the next 3 months.

“We’re working on an iPhone version, and hope to have it out by the end of the year,” David Petrou, a Google staff engineer working on the Goggles project, told his keynote audience at Monday’s Hot Chips conference at Stanford University in California.

ReclaimPrivacy.org has a handy bookmarklet that shows which potentially insecure and privacy-invading settings are enabled on your Facebook account when you click it.

ReclaimPrivacy’s bookmarklet focuses on just a few key areas where Facebook can share information with the public—having your contacts, connections, and tagged photos exposed to the public, as well as allowing your friends to accidentally expose that information themselves. It also looks at your relationship with Facebook’s personalization, applications, and other aspects to see what Facebook and independent developers can find out about you, then rates your exposure level in simple Good, Caution, or Insecure levels, along with offering links to change those settings.
