| BLIP: Windows Phone goes down the tube with official YouTube app Posted:  Video-loving Windows Phone users have cause to celebrate, with Google finally releasing a fully featured YouTube app for the platform on the Windows Phone Marketplace. Previously, the Windows Phone faithful either had to access YouTube through a browser, or rely on a third-party app for their never-ending source of cute cat videos. It got so bad that Microsoft accused Google of blocking Microsoft's attempts to offer a fully serviced YouTube app. The new official app offers the ability to login to YouTube, browse through channel subscriptions and pin playlists, videos and channels to the home screen as Live Tiles. Because nothing says useful like your favourite video previewed on your phone's home screen, right? Users can also access their full YouTube account to view their uploads, playlists and video lists, while parents can link the app in with the Kids Corner function and restrict the available videos junior can access through the app. More Blips!How long until TechRadar has a dedicated Windows Phone Blips app?

| Blip: Facebook gets to Google Glass in a roundabout fashion Posted:  Today word spread that Facebook has come to Google Glass, albeit through a third-party app's door. Glass to Facebook, according to Mashable, works by making users' Facebook accounts a contact through which they can upload photos taken with the headgear. Trying to access the app via creator TeseractMobile's website results in a security alert, which is reportedly due to the site's root certificate, so proceed with caution if you decide to risk download. In other Glass news, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer revealed during the Wired Business Conference in NYC that her company is tinkering around with dev versions as employees explore how wearers can access and operate Yahoo's services. No word on whether the company plans any GG apps, says CNET, but stay tuned. More blips!Google Glass is the future and all, but you can read about what's going on right now in our news blips. |
