 * Thom : Tineye – Tineye is an online tool that is used for reverse image searching. Essentially this means you can use an image to find its original sources. For example you may find an image of a mobile phone you want to know more about, you can use this tool to back track the image and find its original sources, hopefully leading you to more information on the device.

 * **Katelin: Pinterest** (see pinterest.com) This is a way in order to organize your thoughts and interests for yourself along with sharing them with your friends and family. By creating a titled board, you create a folder you can constantly post pictures and URLs regarding that interest.
 * **Shelton:** **Shazam** is a very helpful piece of app for music lovers that helps identify any song by a sample of music that is recorded and matched on their database. This is a very helpful tool because it identifies a song, shows the lyrics and gives you the option of purchasing it.
 * **Sian: Pinterest** (Sorry Katelin, absolutely LOVE this app!) I use this app religiously and check it many times a day. You can create numerous folders and 'pin' as many quotes/links/pics as you want. Pins vary from ideas for the home, latest trends, celebrity news and health and fitness tips, to name a few.
