There's a bookazine (urgh) on sale in Smith's called "The iPhone App Directory" - saw it and thought of you all.

I tend to just order my Apps by how frequently I use them, here's the ones I use most:

Tweetie 2
Put Things Off
My O2
Facebook
Torch
Remote
Grindr
iMapMyRun
TUAW
IM+
Photobucket
Bejeweled 2
TapTap Dance
Shazam
Last.fm
Blowfish
Monopoly
PayPal
Movies
FML
I Am T-Pain
eBay

Nope, but I do have a thing about Apps with icons that have black backgrounds or don't have borders, they look wrong and have to hide at the end, I've highlighted them in bold.

Really?

Grindr is good in a sense that registration is easy, no email etc, but I downloaded the premium app and had to recreate a profile from scratch. A shame I couldn't use the old one.

The RBS app is quite good. Hoping Nationwide make one soon.

eBay and PayPal are also handy, as bidding time on items I sell often runs out when I'm away from a computer.

I downloaded Occassions which was a mistake, as I may as well saved a couple of quid and just used Facebook.

Yup

Grindr seems like a really great way to turn yourself into a target for professional gay bashers.

Same can be said for any online dating service or social networking site. most gay people have been using Gaydar for years ( thats how I met my other half).

I guess so. I've dated people I've initially met on Myspace and Digital Spy, but personally I just wouldn't feel comfortable at all walking around in public with it more or less tatooed on my forehead to anyone who also has an iPhone with the Grindr app.

Do people with Grindr actually use it to look for other guys and really sleep with them, or is it simply like a 'gay spotting' game where you sort of look at them from afar? I just can't imagine walking round town holding an iPhone out in front of me like some kind of glorified compass and using it to track down another gay. I mean I'm adventurous, but the whole idea of this is *so* weird. What on earth do you say to the other person once you've finally managed to locate them??

You could always start with a smile, Chie.

Were you thinking more along the lines of, "My phone says you are a gay, so gay me please. Be gentle".

Yep, I know plenty of young'uns, that aren't gay; who sit in their GCSE English lessons, using Grindr to chat with random gay guys only with the intention to mess them around for fun while their bored. It's cruel, I don't approve.
