What is Bento? When I began reviewing Bento, I was very wary. I have been a Microsoft user for many years and know how tough a database program can be. I had to configure databases in Access, (Microsoft’s personal database solution.) Then I downloaded the demo of Bento with all of these fears in my mind. But I figured that I liked the other Mac applications that I have been using, I gave Bento a shot.

Ask iBAM: Grouping Photos in iPhoto

I got an email a few days ago for the “Ask iBAM” crew from Bob. Not being a big iPhoto user, I thought I’d share to see what “the crew” knew. Here’s his question:

So I have a little question and was wondering if you could help.

I keep all of my photos nicely organized in iphoto with albums for everything. The problem is that I just can’t find a simple way to make sub-albums or sub-categories so I can clump certain albums together. It would be nice if I could have a “Family” album and then under that sub-album of “Holidays with the cousins” or “summer at home” or something like that.

Any suggestions would be great and thanks in advance.

As always, you guys rock and I appreciate you jumping in to help a fellow Mac user out.

There’s a new Twitter app on the streets, it’s called TwitterFone! It’s pretty simple but it’s backed up by some freaking awesome technology. In a nutshell, TwitterFone makes it possible to “tweet” through Twitter without having to type or text anything. You just talk and it transcribes it for you and posts it to your Twitter account.

TwitterFone launched this last week (May 6th to be exact) and has had over 15,000 signups in the last 4 days thanks to some really cool people helping promote the new service. I caught Pat Phelan (the idea guy) on the road and even got a chance to ask him a few super quick questions about the new startup. Here’s how our little convo went:
