Every once in a while we’re lucky to have a guest blogger contribute. Today’s post is a guest post from Mike Barbre, former social media director at Mediability and current writer for cloud services provider Intermedia’s Exchange Hosting.
Mike reached out to me via my guest blogger form and suggested that he could write a post about iPhone apps.
