This is one mobile application I think everyone should have installed. And be recommended by them to all of their friends and relatives to boot.
Meet iMobile Care , a potential life-saver that you can carry around in your pocket.
Launched at the beginning of this month, the app is primarily a reference guide that lets you obtain essential information about medical conditions and situations quickly and easily. The tool allows users to get a visual and textual explanation of how deliver aid and care during emergencies and events such as accidents, bites and stings, choking, injuries, poisoning, burns, and many other critical situations.
But billed as a mere mobile first aid guide even by its own makers, it’s actually much more than that. And I’m not saying that because you can make fart noises with it (you can’t), but because iMobile Care also boasts a number of location and personalization features that could well make the difference between life or death for yourself in the situations described above.
I purchased and installed the iPhone app, which allows me to have the app automatically pinpoint my location if I choose to configure it that way. In addition, I can provide additional, optional data like my blood type, address, primary contact in case of emergency, any medication I use, allergies I have, and more.
As you can see in the screenshot above, the app lets you call your local emergency number – which it automatically fetches as soon as you set your country – and access your camera or photo library in just one click. This can prove very useful e.g. in case of a car accident where you can provide much more information about the situation with one image than with a thousand words (and much faster too).
You can also sound an SOS alert from your phone in case of distress, and provide additional information for when you switch it on, all of which you can store in advance to make sure you don’t lose time explaining your situation (provided you’re even capable to do so at that point). Here’s an example of how that might work:
 
VisionSync, the company behind the app, is careful enough to clearly state it doesn’t substitute for care that well-trained first aid personnel can deliver and that it works best for users who have gone through the various conditions and situations located on the iMobile Care app prior to them actually occurring.
We should probably also point out that the company’s privacy policy shows that they cannot guarantee the absolute privacy of the data you provide, which can include confidential information like medical history, conditions, medications, and location. I purchased the app and I’m willing to take that risk because I think the advantages outweigh the potential disadvantages, but you may feel different about that.
iMobile Care is available for the iPhone ($2.99 – iTunes link) and smartphones running Android. Support for Blackberry devices and Windows Mobile-equipped phones will be added in the near future.

New Facebook app helps singles find dates, connect for romance, send event invites, locate & review local hotspots, and integrates with FourSquare and CitySearch so your friends can find you at Favescapes™.
Miami, FL (PRWEB) April 20, 2010 -- VisionSync, Inc., developer of award-winning apps and social dating sites, including one of the Web's leading free dating sites, YouAnd.Me, today announced the launch of its new Social Connect® Connect Better™ Facebook application.
Social Connect combines a platform that helps singles find dates with a way for users to connect with their friends and send invites for events or get-togethers. Social Connect will match users -- aka "Social Connectors" -- with potential partners based on advanced, targeted, and local search, and provide mapping features to view the general location of matches and connects.
“We wanted to create an exciting app that’s almost like a game, for users to connect with people for romance, passion, long-term relationships. It was important to us that the app also allow members to send dynamic and creative invites to their friends and potential dating and relationship partners,” said Steven Sikes , a co-founder of VisionSync, Inc.
In addition to sending traditional digital greetings such as flirts, crushes, icebreakers and winks, Social Connect has a wide array of personalized social expressions including charms and gifts that users can send to potential dates and friends. Users can also seek out connections with like-minded folks who share their interests in music, books, cuisine, travel, hobbies, sports, and their Favescapes whether they’re seeking dating partners or not.
One unique feature available for the first time to Facebook users through Social Connect is called Favescapes™. Through alliances with CitySearch and FourSquare, Social Connect members will be able to select their own favorite places – clubs, bars, restaurants, libraries, bookstores, cafés, dog parks or any other place where people gather – and share their Favescapes with other members. Members can opt in to allow their general location to be shared with their friends and connects when they log in to their Favescapes, or see who else is nearby. They also receive more social coins by filling out their Social Cards (profiles).
Secret questions allow users to ask other members for information they didn’t share in their public profile in exchange for Social Coin currency are another new feature that proved popular with Social Connect users during the app’s beta focus testing.
The Social Connect Guardian™
One of the most innovative features in the Connect Better Facebook app is its patent-pending Social Connect Guardian™ platform which members can use for more secure dating encounters and meetings. The Social Connect Guardian platform allows the creation of pre-recorded texts and calls at pre-scheduled times, plus alibi messages and notifications as a quick social exit strategy to shorten an undesirable meeting or date.
For added protection, members can even appoint a friend to receive notifications about whom they are meeting with, where they are meeting, and when they expect to be home.
"No other online dating service offers the peace of mind that comes with the Social Connect Guardian feature,” Sikes explained. “Most of the time, meeting someone face to face for the first time is safe and enjoyable. But knowing that you have a pre-arranged exit strategy, and that a trusted friend knows where you are, and who you are with, helps to ensure peace of mind so you can relax and have a good time.”
How to Join Social Connect
Facebook members can try the new Social Connect app now through the Facebook applications directory, or by entering the name Social Connect in the search window at the top of any Facebook page. For more information on the application, check out the new Social Connect video series on YouTube. Popular Social Connect videos now online include the hilarious How Not to Social Connect, Dating Disasters (What it was like before Social Connect), “Find Out His/Her Secrets” and “Find a Cuddle Buddly”.
A number of contents kick off this weekend, including the dating game section where weekly Prince and Princess Charming winners are crowned. Prizes will also be offered to users who help spread the word about the new app among their friends.
Two recently released videos can be found on youtube, showcasing the laid back side of Social Connect, as well as the essence of what Social Connect is all about - dating, connecting, finding local hot spots, and just having fun.

Youand.Me Free Dating Site - Gets 50,000 Members in 3 Months
YOUAND.ME - Free Dating Site - Global & Romantic
MIAMI, May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The fastest growing free online dating site, YOUAND.ME, is now available in the Romance languages - Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese - and soon the free dating site will be available in German, with more languages to follow. The YOUAND.ME team selected a vibrant team of native speakers to translate and localize the free dating site to allow its global members to make the best connections and to find potential partners.
Even though the Youand.me team promotes the site as speaking the international language - LOVE - the founders - from North America, Europe, and Asia - are committed to offering the first truly multilingual free online dating site.
WWW.YOUAND.ME has crossed the threshold of 50,000 members, which is quite an accomplishment for a dating site that launched only three months ago. The free dating site's membership base spans the globe, and YOUAND.ME is one of the most highly trafficked sites in the USA, Canada, the UK, Austria, India, Mexico, Australia, and China, with members from other countries joining YOUAND.ME in record numbers.
The YOUAND.ME team attributes several keys to its success and popularity with the online dating community: a free online dating site that combines social networking features to offer a "social connect" experience, 3D chat, virtual dating, several ways to contact members, including instant messaging, video chat, audio cat, email, digital greetings, a forum, personal blogs, fun games, widgets, personality, love, romance and compatibility tests and matches, and excellent articles on dating and romance from writers and relationship experts.
So far, YOUAND.ME has received notices that over a thousand couples have met through its free dating site, and at least half have gone on dates which they rated as "positive". Love knows no boundaries, as many of these couples have flown from distant parts to find their connections. One member from Auckland flew to Kiev to meet a young lady whom he had established a communication with on the youand.me site. East meets West as an architect from Hong Kong thanked the Youand.me team as she met her current boyfriend, who is a sculptor and artist from London, on the site.
Youand.me speaks the international language - LOVE, and it provides a bridge to cross barriers to reach hearts worldwide.
