Socialcam is a free iOS app that allows users to take video, put filters on it, and store the result in the cloud. As the name suggests, there is a significant social element to the service. Users can browse, watch and share their friends’ videos, as well as connect the app with various other social networks like Twiter, Facebook and Posterous, and tag friends in videos. The cloud storage is a brilliant idea, as it stops large videos eating up phone memory, that can be used for more important things like Draw Something and Angry Birds.

If you're an information junkie, you probably sign up to a load of newsletters (as well as Twitter handles) to keep up with what's going on in the industry. I sign up to a lot, but I don't always read them (preferring Twitter), especially if nothing major catches my eye.
