This week it was revealed that Bing will be renewing their teamship with Twitter. The agreement is that topical tweets will be displayed within Bing’s search results - a standout feature for Bing and an advantage over competitors Google and Yahoo.

Now that Halloween is over, it’s time to look forward to the next holiday, birthday or event. If you’re like me and need extra preparation when it comes to an event, then Countdown + Event Reminders Lite is the reminder app for you. After continually seeing this app pop up on my Facebook newsfeed, I thought I would give it a whirl. The app counts down the days and hours, so you’re always kept alerted of the timings to a certain date. The fun feature about this simple app is that you can add personal photos - if you’re counting down to Thanksgiving or Christmas, then how about adding a photo of last year’s Turkey dinner with your family?
