Christina Warren over at TUAW has put together a nice guide about setting up the ultimate Mac mini home theater.

What it does

In a nutshell, this is a new service that will enable you to share and edit both estimates and invoices over the web. There are many apps out there that let you create an invoice, and that is certainly useful. The only thing is that creating the invoice is just the start of the process. From that point onwards, it is not uncommon to have to send and receive a wealth of mails to clients and collaborators alike. This new app gets around this problem by creating a centralized platform that lets anybody connect with each other on the spot.

This is done by compressing the disparate e-mail threads into one conversation that will let anybody keep track of everything, and see where the project is headed and recall how it all started.

At the end of the day, this tool will be of use to freelancers and established agencies alike. If you want to figure out the ways it can best help you out, simply pay the site a visit and sign up for the 30-day free trial that is available.

In their own words

“Let’s face it, there’s a glut of invoicing apps out there. While there are some that come close to hitting the mark, they all manage to ignore the most important part of doing business: communication. Creating the invoice itself is only the first step – it’s invariably followed by days of back and forth email, corralling payments, haggling, and worst of all, a constant stream of CC’d emails updating your team. Ballpark is made for the real world: it centralizes communication with your team and clients into an easy use system that simplifies the process for everyone.”

Why it might be a killer

Such a tool caters both for small startups and those that already have more mileage, and it will let them maximize efficiency in a cost-friendly way.

Some questions

Are there different plans available? How can I find out which one will be the right one for me?

What it does

We all are becoming more and more accustomed to turning to Twitter when we have to look up information. It is only fit, then, that different directories will crop up, giving us a good overview on any concept that we may be interested in. That is exactly what this website does – it collects information on different Twitter businesses, many of which include promotions.

This database can be browsed both alphabetically and by number of followers – the latter will give you something of an idea of the standing of each business. Moreover, the homepage highlights these businesses that have attracted the biggest numbers of followers so far, so that you can always see who are making waves online in a more or less immediate fashion.

Appropriately enough, you can tweet every featured company as links for doing so are provided.

On the other hand, if you want to have your business featured on the site you can do so effortlessly. This process involves setting down tags and so on. Furthermore, you can let twitterers know about any promotions through the site, and draw more attention to your business this way.

In their own words

“Twibs was created by a small group of people with one purpose: Give twitter users a place to find businesses on twitter. We are big believers in the power of twitter to connect customers with businesses. We’re working on making it easy for consumers to find businesses, both local and national. Keep in mind, we’re just getting started, so there may be small glitches and features missing, but don’t worry, we’re working hard for you to keep helping consumers find your business on twitter!”

Why it might be a killer

It is a direct way of knowing which businesses you can count on when it comes to the famed micro-sharing platform.

Some questions

How many businesses are already featured on the site?

Sharing with Friends, Now Even Easier

Earlier this week Facebook released Facebook Connect for iPhone, which allows us to connect iPhone apps to the Facebook web site. Facebook Connect for iPhone is a set of classes that can be added to your xCode project and used to ease the process of logging into the site, granting extended permissions and posting status updates to the feed.

The documentation and the video provided by Facebook assume a certain level of experience creating Facebook apps. The process of creating an App, and creating Template Data for Feed stories was only briefly covered and not explained in their documentation. I’ll provide a little more background on those tasks here in part one.

Clearing Up UI Confusion:
In part one, I describe using the Facebook Connect for iPhone SDK. In the sample application provided by Facebook, a Get Permission button checks to see if the user has granted the appropriate extended permission to the application. It is a permission to post status updates. The permission needs to be granted only once. If the user clicks the button after permission is granted, they see this message: You have already granted this permission to the application. This begs the question, why display the button after permission is granted?
