That's An App Thursday

My Smartphone has become my most indispensable research tool that I have [Other than my brain.] And, in particular, the Apps are what make my Smartphone so essential to both my research and my business. I really couldn't imagine working without them, and I've only had it for a year. [Just about.]

Therefore, for the forseable future [i.e., until I run out of apps], I will be running a Smartphone and App series on Thursday's called That's an App Thursday. We'll go over:

• Smartphones. What are they? Are they really that smart? Can they really help you in your research? Can they help you share your fantastic family finds with your family?
  
• What is an App? What does it do? Why is everyone so ga-ga over these Apps? And how do you get one?
• The categories of Apps that can benefit you in your research and, most importantly, how.
• After the basics, we'll delve into a specific app to see how it can benefit you as a researcher - no matter what level you are - beginner to pro.

How does that sound?
It's your chance to find out what all the hoopla is over Smartphones without having to take the plunge. And if you already have one, it's your chance to finally use your Smartphone for more than texting and checking Facebook. [Really. What? You thought you were the only one?]

If you already are a pro at using Smartphones and Apps for genealogy and family history research AND you'd like to share your knowledge with others, then contact me to guest post for this series, especially if you use something other than an iPhone. [That's what I have.]
