Can You Queer Me Now?
The Iphone has gone gay. Leave it to the homocool to use the IPhone to find other hot homos in the area. With Apps like Grindr gays can echolocate like little queer dolphins. Using the phones built in GPS they can set a radius to search, finding other homohunks who have signed up and turned on the app. Nearby gays are displayed in a grid of pics that can be clicked on to display that persons profile. In order to prevent the app from becoming a hunting device for fag bashers exact locations aren't revealed until the user views the profile of someone he is interested in and they allow the exact location to be seen. There are similar apps such as Who'sHere (not gay specific), Purpll-gay life, Boy Ahoy (I didn't name it I'm just telling you about it), Gay community App. Some of them seem to have speed problems and Gay Community App has been reported to crash at times.
A less specific app is GayCities, a gay travel guide and glbt owned and glbt friendly business guide that is supported by their online website that also contains user generated reviews of amenities, organizations, shops, museums etc.
The Edge is like a gay magazine for your Iphone. It's web version is well rounded with stories ranging from a personal essay on religion to an article on Patty Duke attending a screening of her 1967 movie Valley of the Dolls at the Castro theater in SF. The Iphone version is just as informative.
Gay Music is well represented with iHeartRadio (clearchannel) offering several San Fran stations as well as Pride Radio,
GIRL (Gay Internet Radio Live) offers just the kind of music you would expect from a place called You Go Girl- America's Dance Channel. The web version offers a circuit party guide and news (headline news that is not specifically gay) as well as a gallery. Berlin offers us Gay FM. Dance music for those able to download the app in German.
One oddly entertaining app that is not exclusively gay is Guys With IPhones where guys with Iphones do exactly what you expect them too. Be aware that there is the occasional weanie shot. Don't even act surprised.
Here's a better picture of Bryce's "Pants" not sure about the thigh high boots with them but the youngins they have their own fashion sense....
Here is a great new app that is not only useful and fun but helps the community. Reportage by mtam0707.

BTW Openly Gay Salon is totally unofficial and much to stylish to have been created by the real open salon.
Phaeby- SOme of those guys with Iphones are worth checking.

Tijo U CrAzY
Phaeby- There are several OMG pictures on there.
Trig- Don't look for his picture on guys with Iphones unless you want an IFull.
~tears~ but then she left me for the milk man, cause he does the body good. ~Crying~
:)
All the hillybilly/WalMart talk on this thread is hysterical.lol.
AIM-where do you buy gloves?
Scanner- probably about the same as other ways as far as safety is concerned but more efficient.
MAWB- but you could consult the cards before meeting them. Would the hanged man be good or bad?
ChiGuy- I'll just make sure he has a condom.
Max- nothing better than common sense and meeting in a public place.
Mssr Gaston-Much better than the ring-a-ding for your ding-a-ling that they were going to use.
Jane- Our little Bryce has a mind of his own.
I found a jazz app and that made me very gay (in the happiness since!)

Tijo, please come by my Cronkite post. I need the input of the gay community on the shocking murder of Walter Cronkite by Brian Williams.
Drewz- That's okay this is all part of my plan. His fear will drive him into my arms and I will squeeze him like a bunny.
i had no idea about the pajama people at Walmart. that is tres scary. ti ti, i'm still running a fucking fever and therefore feeling miserable and carpy but you made me very happy with this informative post that the gutter krew guys are a bit waaaaay too interested in. did you notice that? drew surely did. love love love and gratitude

And Drew's a total bitch.
And Nana, what you needed was an app to locate raddled camp slags who believe you when you say your dinghy is really a sloop:)
Drew- Bryce is like a kitten with a ball of yarn-after some crystal meth lite. Nana wants you to know that he may have a dinghy but he is still able to rig his sail.
