My Favorite Free Apps for iPhone

Sometimes the best apps on Apple’s iTunes Store for the iPhone and the iPod Touch are the free ones. A pattern I’ve began seeing with some of these free applications is that their developers tend to continue their further development, rather then abandon the projects after making a few bucks and moving onto a next get rich quick scheme. The following iPhone apps are all SEO (Search Engine Optimization), SEM (Search Engine Marketing), and (SMO Social Media Optimization) related tools which I use on a daily basis.

My favorite Twitter application for the iPhone is currently Tweetie from Atebits. There are quite a few of these types of application on Apple’s iTune’s store at the moment, however, Tweetie is not only free, but also allows you to logon with multiple accounts.

Wordpress application from Automattic, Inc. is another great application for maintaining and updating your wordpress blog. It’s so feature rich in fact, that I’ve written this blog entry directly from it. It’s also useful for checking up on spam on your blog; I seem to to be getting quite a bit as of late, however, when I’m on the go, it takes me literally just a few seconds to delete it.
