Summary:  cSocial media: No, I don't need to tell people where I'm eating (although they were envious of me when I posted shots of killer ice cream cones from Portland's Salt & Straw). Social media are fun and addictive. I enjoy getting feedback to my posts, in the form of likes, and prefer that to the alternative: nobody commenting on what I'm doing. ciTunes:Remember when there was nothing to listen to on the radio? Now there are hundreds of thousands of audio podcasts available, from comedians such as Adam Carolla and Marc Maron to a show devoted to people reminiscing about being on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. They're fun to listen to -- and best of all, 100% free. cUber: Who wants to go back to hailing a cab? The new way -- you open the app, make your connection and watch as the driver approaches you, via a map. All within minutes. You don't have to reach for cash to pay, because the app's taken care of it ahead of time. (POUND)Thebest.
