The Cynical Girl: Social Media Saturday

Social Media Saturday

Posted: 28 May 2011 03:45 AM PDT

Today is my first edition of Social Media Saturday. I’ve been meaning to write about why I don’t like my iPhone 4 from Verizon. Honestly, I like it just fine. It’s okay. It meets my needs because I don’t really need it. My old phone (Blackberry Tour) on Verizon was just fine.

Here are the things I can do with my new phone.

I can track my period. Now I don’t have to rely on the moon.

I can play Words With Friends with about 100 different people who beat me constantly. What can I say? I’m visually challenged and not very good at puzzles.

I can Shazam some catchy Latino songs when I check into my favorite restaurant via foursquare and eat enchiladas every Friday night.

You know what I can’t do?

Text easily.
Send an email without misspelling FIR and FOR.
Hang up on someone easily — especially if I’m not directly on the phone screen. Believe me.
Use my phone when I have chilly fingers.

Other than that? It’s awesome. Go spend a couple hundred bucks on a phone that tracks your period. Totally worth it.
