Arrrrr, Fat Cat Pirate Chat Is The App You Need For Talk Like A Pirate Day!

International Talk Like a Pirate Day is on September 19th! ITLAPD will be even more fun this year with Fat Cat Pirate Chat available on iTunes and Android.

You can see from the video that it is an intuitive system that allows you to talk fluently like a pirate to anyone around you with a real voice or via text, Twitter, or email. Although it is hilarious, the technology behind it is being tested and used to help people with speaking disabilities communicate. Stephen Sheetz says they "...plan to come out with other flavors of this", so we will have to keep an eye out for future launches by following them on Twitter and Facebook.

Facebook's "Awesome" Launch Failed (Skype Video Chat Arrives)

In the days following Google's limited launch of Google+ Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg said it was planning to “launch something awesome” on July 6, 2011. It looked as if the battle of the social networks was about to go toe to toe.

Speculation was that Skype video calling would be integrated with Facebook chat. Many people also thought there was something else top secret (and awesome) that was going to knock down G+ just as it launched.

Nothing more than one on one video calling, powered by Skype, was announced. That's right, the technology that has been around for many years is being brought to Facebook. It is certainly good, but not even close to being something "awesome". I was disappointed.

See you in Hangouts!
