A growing obsession with digitally archiving everyday life has given rise to countless apps facilitating your diaristic tendencies. Rising above the clutter is Bokeh, a new service that strips lifelogging to its essentials with a pared-down app that stresses less is more.

Blogger clearly benefits from a larger screen, yet Android tablet owners haven’t had a native editing space since the Blogger app launched on their platform. Thankfully, Google is rectifying that problem today: the Android release now occupies a tablet’s full screen space while users compose and review their posts. The refresh also offers WYSIWYG editing for current entries, regardless of the screen size. However much they’ll use the improved workspace, would-be Android auteurs just have to swing by Google Play for the update.

Bloggers have been getting plenty of love on Android as of late, and if WordPress happens to be your platform of choice, you’ll be glad to know that your time in the sun has arrived. Similar to Tumblr’s recent overhaul, WordPress was just updated with a new Holo interface, and it’s really quite the looker. First and foremost, you’ll notice that WordPress now looks like a proper Android app, complete with an action bar for tasks such as creating posts and sharing to other apps. With a flick of the thumb, you’ll also notice a menu drawer that’s accessible from the left-hand side, which replaces the old school dashboard interface that was found in previous versions of WordPress for Android. We can’t say the new features will help you overcome writer’s block, but at least you’ll have something pretty to look at while you ponder your next great post.

LinkedIn has always been based on the notion of “connections” rather than “followers,” but the social network has made a bit of a break with that tradition today. For the first time, it will let users follow people they aren’t connected to, although their choice of people is initially limited to a group of 150 individuals that LinkedIn deems to be “thought leaders.” What’s more, the company is also giving them access to some more advanced blogging tools that will let them publish longer posts with pictures and videos. Of course, while it’s fairly limited in scope now, LinkedIn is clear that this is only their first step in this direction. It says it will continue to expand its group of “influencers” over the next few months (it’s taking suggestions), and LinkedIn’s Dan Roth told TechCrunch that “eventually we want to allow all people to follow each others.” In the meantime, you can get the full rundown of what’s in store at the links below.
