Try It Friday: Paying with Verizon’s Softcard and Your Smartphone

Watch me pay for food at McDonalds with my smartphone using Verizon’s Softcard app and my Galaxy S5.

Make sure to read the blog posts from earlier this week on how to set up Softcard and how to get it working. I have to say I think Mobile Pay is one of the most revolutionary changes since smartphones and the Internet. I believe it will change how we live our lives for the better. I personally love it, find it super fast, and feel that in the next year all retailers will embrace mobile pay.

Try It Friday – The Pocket App for Reading on the Go

You’ve got to love Pocket! This is a great app that is a browser utility that allows you to then read things you mark as interesting on any device. Very cool, super easy, I use it all the time. View it at YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQs1-qLAXss&feature=youtu.be

Start first by installing pocket on your desktop or laptop by visiting http://getpocket.com/. You’ll be asked to set up an account and install a small app that will put the +Pocket app in your toolbar.

You’ll also want to download the app at iTunes and Google Play.

When you log in to your Pocket account on your devices, you will then be able to see content you’ve saved to read later across any device. I love this app use it to provide personalized content that I can read anywhere on the go.
