Let me ask you a question. How do you communicate the most? In today's society (especially where children are concerned) one of the most common forms of communication is via text message. Because of this, both children and adults are easy targets for, and potential victims of cyber-bullying. Here to help is Word Bully, an app from Iconosys that helps combat cyber-bullying.

It works like this: Word Bully allows a parent/guardian to customize a filter for profanity, vulgar or threatening language, and other offensive communications. This is all done with the protection of password-enabled access for the parent/guardian. If a message is sent with this type of language it is automatically sent to the parent/guardian's phone stating what was said.Read more

There's a new safety app from Iconosys for your Android smartphone – My Roadside Attendant. This new app helps track and organize information etc. for calling for help in situations where you need assistance from family or friends, law enforcement, your insurance company, or your roadside assistance program.

Simply press the My Location button for your physical address and GPS coordinates.

• By pressing the Send My Location button, you can easily send your exact location from the My Location screen to friends, family, law enforcement (911), or even a towing company.

A typical message that the app would send at your instruction would be -- "You've received my location; I am located at 123 Main St, Anywhere, CA, Please click here to map yourself to me ...."

Since 1887, Groundhog's Day has been observed each year on February 2nd. The world's largest celebration of this day is held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, where the whole town -- and our country for that matter -- waits for the celebrity groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, to emerge from his hole and tell us all if there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

Today, smartphone app developer Iconosys released the app "Groundhog's Day," to celebrate the day, along with giving you another reason to say hi and stay in touch with friends and family.

Groundhog's Day App Features:

• Groundhog's Day the app allows you to send custom shadow messages to people in your contacts list, up to and after Groundhog Day.
• An illustrious countdown clock counts backwards to the special day and sends a pre-programmed text message with a Happy Groundhog's Day! wish automatically, by selecting or unselecting recipients using the Send Message feature button.
• Participate with the rest of the world in a special Groundhog's Day poll, and track the poll results. Will Phil see his shadow? See what the world thinks as we get closer and closer to the big day.
• Because Groundhog's Day the app is a year round app, install it for this year and it will update and reset for the following year, keeping your message recipient list safely stored until 2012.
• Groundhog's Day is now available in English, and on the Android OS platform.

2011 is almost here. If you haven't already, it's time to start thinking about what New Year's resolutions you're going to make (or break) in the coming year. Need help keeping your resolutions?

• New Year's Buzzer allows you to send simultaneous Happy New Year's wishes to anyone and everyone in your contacts list.
• Place and track your 2011 New Year's resolutions. A daily tracking prompt is presented where you can confirm that you kept your personal commitment to bettering yourself. Celebratory congratulations are given each day where the resolution is kept.
• New Year's Buzzer keeps a New Year's countdown running as a service in the background and resets for 2012 after the new year.
• At 10 seconds to New Year's, the phone wakes, strobes, and a huge crowd counts down with you and your party until the stroke of midnight.
