5 Must-Have iPad Apps for Your Personal Brand - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

5 Must-Have iPad Apps for Your Personal Brand - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career On April 3, 2010, Apple finally released its long-awaited iPad. While I don’t plan to buy one myself (I used to be a Mac girl but switched to PCs when I went to college), I know there are plenty of you who can’t wait to get your hands on one. In that vein, which iPad apps do you need to grab today to aid in your personal branding? 1. LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook We all know how important social networking (and networking in general) is to your personal brand. So, it makes sense to have these applications on your new iPad. 2. Gist I’ve become a huge fan of Gist and will probably do an entire post on it sometime, but definitely check out this app to help you better know the people in your network. 3. WordPress I have to admit, it would be pretty cool to be writing this post from the iPad. Not convinced you need a blog to advance your personal brand? Read this. 4. Wall Street Journal and/or New York Times People with strong personal brands are well read. Keep up with the news with these great apps. 5. Evernote As the App Store states, Evernote turns your iPad “into an extension of your brain.” Who doesn’t need that? This will help you blog and update your social networks â€" bookmarking sites and stories to remember for later, among other things. What iPad apps do you recommend? Author: Heather R.
