Today on WSAV's Tech Tuesday, we talk about INRFOOD, a new app that aims to become the Consumer Reports of food.

Because there's so much information and misinformation out there about diet—and what's good/bad often depends on who you listen to—INRFOOD focuses on the ingredients in our foods rather than calorie counts or marketing jargon. They've worked with a team of nutritionists and dietitians to create three color-coded labels for ingredients: green ingredients are safe, yellow ingredients should only be consumed in moderation, and red ingredients should be avoided.

Simply launch the app from your smartphone and enter the food you wish to lookup. Alternately, you can use the app to scan the UPC code of prepackaged products. The app will bring up a color-coded list of the ingredients and you can make a more informed decision about the food you're buying.

Tap on the ingredient and the app will take you to more information about the ingredient's origin, uses, health effects, etc.

When you first launch the app, you'll be asked if you have any dietary restrictions. These can be medical restrictions or lifestyle choices, such as if you are vegetarian or vegan.

The app is free to use for 30 days. After 30 days, you'll be prompted for a one-time $2.99 fee if want to continue to use the app. (INRFOOD is committed to remaining neutral, so...

Today on WSAV Tech Tuesday, we talk about Facebook Camera, a standalone mobile app launched by Facebook last week for iOS and Android. Some people have called this nothing more than an Instagram clone, and there certainly are some Instagram-like features, for example: 15 different photo filters than you can apply to your pictures. But a number of sources have suggested that this app was in the works long before Facebook bought Instagram.

In short, Facebook Camera is like your Facebook Newsfeed minus everything except the pictures your friends have recently posted to Facebook. Beyond that, the app works much like any other photo app: snap a picture, apply a filter, and upload it to Facebook.

I thinks so. The Facebook experience has become much like the experience you have with a giant shopping mall, except that instead of having hundreds of stores to choose from, you have hundreds of activities to choose from. Trying to take it all in at once can be a little overwhelming, especially if you are in a hurry. And most of the time when you go to the mall, you don't go for the all day shopping trip; you typically go to one or two or three stores with a specific purpose in mind.

By creating standalone apps like the Facebook Camera app and the Facebook Messaging app, Facebook is giving users apps that are better suited to the activities they are most likely to perform on their mobile phones. It's...

Android phone users rejoice! On today's Tech Tuesday, our Hal Thomas discusses why he believes Instagram is so popular and this week's announcement that Facebook has acquired Instagram for one billion dollars.
