First Windows Phone: App Suggestions?

[jpling]

Thank you. I saw Me Hub, but unless I'm doing it wrong, I am only able to get it to show info from my own wall and tweets directed right to me. I was wondering if there was an app that just combines the news feeds from both apps. I am more of a lurker ��

WIth people hub you can set groups and add people to the group and pin it to start screen. It shows both twitter and Facebook updates. I have friends group , family, and my I'm stalking you group.. They are all pinned to start and I can peek in with a touch of a tile. I love android and wp8 but wp8 whips everyone's buttocks when I comes to social integration. The days I use my g2/note3 I miss my people hub the most. icon comes today!

I have tried Simple Calendar and Chronos, strongly prefer Super Calendar--a well laid out but info-packed interface, and the developer is always making improvements.
2Day is a nice task manager, does a lot and lets you enter new tasks with voice.
Wiztiles Pro is good tool for adding some customized tiles to your start screen.
UC Browser is a nice alternative to IE, plus charming squirrel logo on live tile.
Fave lockscreen apps: Photostream, LockMix and Wallpaper Patterns
Phonly for Feedly, wonderful app.
Bing apps I like: Bing Weather, Food and Drink <3 <3
Liquid Timer: Does two things-- one basic timer or stopwatch, but an elegant interface. nice app.
OneNote (but I also use Evernote)

Also a setting that I use all the time --under Speech, set "Read incoming text messages aloud" to always on. It doesn't just read them, it announces them, asks you if you want to read them or ignore, then if you want to respond, etc... I use this every day to text back in forth hands free in the car or around the house when I am busy with my hands. When it says "smiley face" in that robotic voice to read an emoticon sent in a text, it always makes me smile.

Is there an adblocker available for IE?

Gasbuddy is invaluable to me, it allows you to report and check on gasoline prices around the USA. You can pin up to 4 gas stations to your start screen so you can quickly see your gas stations on the path to work.
