I just published a list of Jailbreak apps that should convince anyone that their iPhone can do better. You can find the same list in my Must Have iPhone Apps list, but in the Cult of Mac article I give a healthy description of the app plus a couple of screenshots.

Here’s a tasty sample:

4. Veency

Use your iPhone from your desktop! There are tons of creative uses for this app, including accessing your iPhone when you’re just too lazy to get up and get it.

I use my iPhone as a desk calendar and then make calls through my bluetooth headset so I don’t have to direct my attention away from my work. I’m just kidding I don’t do that. That would be pathetic, but it’s possible with Veency.

If you’re too ashamed to admit that you don’t know what people are talking about when podcasting is mentioned, you should check out CommonCraft videos. They will inform your pants off and allow you to grasp concepts that you should own already. 

You may want to check out their most poplar videos first:

• Twitter in Plain English
• Social Bookmarking in Plain English
• RSS in Plain English
• Wikis in Plain English

These videos are pretty easy to make, though the set up would take some time. Most of it is simple video with voiceover; when something is moving by itself they’re using stop motion. This is a great way to convey a message in an informative and strangely educational way.

I’m not a pro at getting heavy traffic and keeping it, so I thought I might link to a post from someone who is.

Tibi over at Lost Art of Blogging gives some tips on Stickifying your blog (making up words here left and right). These are some great tips for student bloggers, but I think they can be applied to Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, and Podcasting.

If anyone knows about a free desktop video capture program for os x, please let me know. I’m working on some podcasts that publicize what my institution is doing online.

::Edit:: Just purchased one for 20 bucks. I got tired of searching.
