If you have used one of those avatar creator software kits, you are familiar with how these apps work. Uface is not that different. It comes with an easy to use interface that lets you choose from 330 various males and female items, so you can spend plenty of time getting exactly what you want from your sketched image. The characters have a hand-drawn feel to them, which make them quite unique and fun.

I found the interface to be pretty easy to use and the variety of elements available to be more than enough.  The upload to Facebook/Twitter capability is a big plus as well. So is the ability to edit saved images.

All in all, if you are into social media and want to give your profile a whole new look and feel, Uface is a dynamite app you should try.

Hootsuite for iPhone makes it easy to tweet on the go and keep track of your links on Twitter as well. So it will tell you how people are responding to the links you post to your Twitter account. It does allow you to tweet on the go or schedule your posts for the future. And you can easily switch to your other Twitter accounts easily.

What I like about Hootsuite is the “Views” feature. You can create views to keep track of your brands or a specific keyword list. That makes life a lot easy if you are looking for a quick way to reach out to people who are talking about you or your brand. Hootsuite supports photo sharing and Twitter Lists as well.

Hootsuite is not for those who tweet once a month. It’s made for twitter junkies and businesses that are using Twitter to reach out to more prospects. It would have been great if the app was free. But it has more than enough features to justify the price.

Rating: 8.5/10

If you have used an online avatar design service, you are going to find Avatar Creator very easy to work with. The app comes with over 200 parts that you can choose from to develop an avatar that looks similar to your face. You get to customize face structure, hair style, lips, beard, and everything in between. You can also move, rotate, and use color tool to customize your avatar further.

Once you have created your avatars, you can attach them to your existing contacts on your iPhone using the built-in contact manager. You can also share your avatars via e-mail. Of course, you can use your avatars on Facebook, Twitter, and more. What I like about Avatar Creator is the fact that it lets you reload avatars for future edits. That certainly comes in handy if you are a perfectionist.

All in all, if you are looking to add more spice to your social media life with avatars, Avataor Creator makes the process easy and fun.

You thought pod-casting is fun? Wait till you start your own Tweetcast. TweetMic is a cool Twitter application for iPhone to start with your Tweetcast fast. Whether you own an iPhone or an enhanced iPod Touch, you can use TweetMic to record voice tweets. You don’t have to sign up for any new service to take advantage of this application.

Once you have created your voice tweets with this app, you can review them and publish them to TweetMic’s servers. And you can manage your tweet-cast easily on tweetmic.com. I found the application to be very easy to use. You don’t have to be a genius to get started with your own tweet-cast using TweetMic. The voice quality was superb, and you can always go back and change your tweets if there are any major problems with them.

There is no limit on recording time with TweetMic. That means you can create longer voice tweets if you prefer (though remember Twitter is not about long messages). Writing 140 characters per post is not a big deal, but it can’t get any easier than just talking on your phone. And since your messages are stored on secure cloud servers, you’ll always have access to them.

TweetMic is not just about Twitter. It’s about you getting a chance to communicate with your followers with voice and convey information more effectively. If you are looking for an app to start your own tweet-cast, you’ve got to try TweetMic.

Verdict: A

Sketch meets chat in Touchat. Touchat is a cool chat application for iPhone that lets you chat with your Google contacts by text or sketching. GTalk is one of the most popular chat platforms, and you can use it to stay in touch with your friends via Touchat. And if you are good at sketching, you are going to have even more fun getting in touch with your friends.

What I like about Touchat is the fact that you can easily change the settings for your sketches and even change the color. You can also undo sketches easily. The text chat is smooth as well. You also get emoticons with it as well.

This app allows you to manage your buddies easily on your phone. You can also change your avatar and view those of your buddies.

FriendFeed is one of the hottest Web 2.0 services out there that lets you reach out to others and network with them in more ways than one. Whether you want to get into discussions or share your content and favorite links with everyone else, FriendFeed has a feature with you.

Thankfully, the developers have provided you with the link where you can grab your remote key.

Posting messages and exploring rooms can’t be easier with this app. And the inline browser to view links in messages makes this app much more fun. FriendFeed can be a very addictive social networking community, and that’s where BuddyFeed comes in. Not only it makes it easy to participate in the FriendFeed community’s activities, but it also doesn’t require you to jump through hoops to post images and explore new areas. If you are on FriendFeed, you can’t afford not to use BuddyFeed. BuddyFeed not only saves you time, but it makes it easier to grow your presence on FriendFeed. It’s just a no brainer!

Verdict: A. Intuitive design, app flexibility, and ease-of-use are among many reason why BuddyFeed is one of the best social networking applications in iTunes.
