When I first started using it, I wasn't impressed and I found that I was really slow. But that's because I wasn't typing the way you should be on Fleksy—with near-reckless abandon. Just GO. It'll usually figure it out. You can look away for a second if you need to and keep going.

It is a trial. Same as SwiftKey and Swype. A month-long trial is really generous though.

I was a big believer in SwiftKey's Flow until I used Fleksy for more than 5 minutes. Now I don't care about swiping anymore. It's a fun novelty. Fleksy is not. Fleksy is a significant step up.

Seems pretty useful. I'll definitely give it a try. I put Twitter's official widget on my second home screen (shows the 10 most recent tweets I believe) but I don't usually even check that all that much.

Given that I just read an article on The Guardian about how reading news can actually be harmful for you and doesn't meaningfully benefit your life at all, I think a valid alternative to all of these should just be "Not Reading The News At All."

I don't get how people keep making friends on Google+. I mean, maybe I was just using it differently when I was on it. How are people making friends on Google+?

When you're talking protein shakes, there's almost no reason to go with cow's milk. It's nice every once in a while, but honestly, even unsweetened almond milk, which tastes pretty gross by itself, tastes just fine in a protein shake and will give you fewer calories.

Man, what about ladybugs? That's what I've got now. So annoying, especially given society's way-too-friendly attitude toward them just because we think they're pretty.

Yeah Carbon might just become my official night-time Twitter app. I don't need all the features because I probably shouldn't be looking at Twitter that late anyway, but at least it won't strain my eyes or wake me up as much as the official Twitter app, which doesn't have a black setting.

Not just an American thing, though, as an American, I'll say that the deeper I get into the "real world" here, the more disgusted I get with my own country.

Okay, that's a real feature-add. I have a Moto X so I've got an AMOLED screen as well and I do appreciate when apps have pure black options. Might check out Carbon now.

I don't really get why people don't like the official Twitter app. I think it's great. Does everything I need it to do. But I guess I'm not a "power user" or whatever.

You could get the official Moto X car holder by Griffin. Pretty sure it's supposed to automatically throw the Moto X into driving mode when you plug it in. I just have a standard, basic holder and the driving stuff has always worked fine for me. The problem I have is that when I'm driving and I try to get it to…

Yeah I don't like the way Facebook handles friends sometimes. I went through a phase where I unfriended a bunch of people I just wasn't really friends with, but it seemed like those people were just converted into followers or something, so they were still commenting on and liking my stuff (I left my profile very lax…

Do you mean that you retrained it to your tone when you're in a car or that when it asks you to say it multiple times, you just changed the inflection each time? The directions say to say it the same every time. I really wish you could train it with several different inflections.

I've retrained it a bunch of times. It was a lot more reliable before the 4.4 update. Sometimes it works flawlessly, sometimes I have to say "OK Google Now" like ten times before it registers, sometimes it just activates without me saying it at all. In a car it's worse. Maybe it's because of the vibration when I have…

Facebook has a follow function now that works pretty much like you'd want it to for your ex example, and on Facebook they've added a lot of group and privacy sharing options that mean you can have only a subset of people see a post.

I was really excited about Google+ when it was launching, but the reason why it failed and I only know literally two people who actually use it on a regular basis is because Google thought it was still 2005 and exclusivity was a good idea. For Gmail, sure, that worked out. It's email. It doesn't matter if all your…

It absolutely is. Still awesome though.

I love my Moto X so much, but I will say, the touchless voice control is so unbelievably unreliable when in a car that it's basically not even worth trying half the time. The driving assist feature that reads texts and calls to you is killer though.
