If you happen to have friends who can be big blabbermouths, then you need Spoiler Shield. It’s a social media browser app that also functions as a shield of sorts.
The app works easily with Facebook and Twitter. In order to start using it, you’ll have to log in and allow access to both social media accounts. Once you’re connected, you can then choose from a list of sports teams or TV programs, and the app will automatically look for relevant keywords and filter out any potential spoiler posts from your feed.
Nothing will be spoiled for you the next time someone posts a status update about your favorite TV show or NFL or MLB team. Spoiler Shield will block that status and keep you ignorant about whatever has happened until you get a chance to see it for yourself.
Spoiler Shield is available for free on the iOS. An Android app is currently in the works.

It only got better when they rolled out the mobile version. Then something happened. It started to make me slightly depressed. It got strangely political. It started to creep me out. Last year, I deleted my Facebook account. And I’m never going back.

Large brands have taken to Facebook like a fish to water, but
small-to-medium size B2B and B2C companies have a tougher row to hoe.
While multi-nationals like Coca-cola or Apple can attract millions of
followers overnight with give-aways, discounts and promotional
campaigns, smaller firms feel like the proverbial tree falling in the
forest.

Social media plays a big part in people’s lives these days. Not just in their personal lives, but also in what they do for a living as well. If you’re one of those people, then you might be interested in the social media-themed business card generators by Stephen Ou.
Over on SocialBusinessCard you can generate business card designs patterned after three of the largest social networks are available: Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Creating your own personalized car using these designs is pretty easy. Just choose which one you want, link your actual social media account using the site’s app, and your card will be generated right after, using your digital profile as a starting point.
After editing the text on the card, you can then choose to upload the custom card design to your business card maker of your choice.
The most impressive part? Stephen just graduated high school, and already has launched several other successful online apps.
