2017 Webby Winner The Infatuation gives their recs for apps & services
We’re back again with Netted's Staff Picks series, where Webby-Winning companies share their favorite apps, services, and connected products. If you want the inside scoop on the best tech, why not ask the best of the Internet?
Eileen Twum London Operations Manager Interests: The trashiest of TV shows and my dog’s Insta: @hendrix_doggy Favorite App/Service: Konvert
"As an English person who spent 5 years in New York and just recently returned to her homeland, I am constantly in a state of confusion about every normal benchmark you need in everyday life. I use Konvert to help me out. This amazing little app helps me with the basics—can the $3.25 that I have in my US account buy me a bacon sarnie at a cafe in Covent Garden? (That would be a no). What does zero degrees mean in both countries? (I mean, how heavy should my coat be?) And whether it sounds worse when I say 'I’ve put on a stone' or 'I’ve put on 14lbs.'"
"Downloading Vivino has probably been my biggest financial mistake of the last few years in the best kind of way. Where I used to hold up the wine list to the waiter, jam my finger at the second cheapest bottle, and grunt BO-JO-LACE, I'm now adventuring to new parts of the list and leaving a trail of dollars as I go. Vivino has been complicit in trimming my wallet by letting me snap a pic of the wine list to get ratings, reviews, and average prices per bottle."
Holly Liss Head of Social and Community Marketing Interests: Travel, good light, spicy Asian EEEEEATS Favorite App/Service: Headspace
"Overseeing social for 22+ Instagram accounts, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat makes it pretty tough for me to turn off. Social is seductive and I could go for hours on all the platforms, but Headspace is the only thing that helps me wind down at the end of the night. It’s a meditation and mindfulness app that smartly trains you to get into a meditative state. Burn your palo santo while listening to it, and you’re good to go. Yep, I live in LA."
Andrew Steinthal Co-Founder & CRO Interests:Cereal, chocolate chip cookies, not gross playgrounds Favorite App/Service: DocSend
"The Infatuation partnerships team sends decks and reports all over, and that process has always been difficult both to organize and to execute. Enter DocSend, which has completely changed our lives. It’s an online deck chamber where you can simply and easily store all your files and keep them accessible for fast, easy, non-inbox clogging delivery to whoever you want to send to."
Dina Smither Engineer Interests: Netflix, volleyball, living in the woods Favorite App/Service: Cameo
"This video editing app makes me feel like I’m way more talented than I am, and conveniently makes others believe it too. The design is super sleek and the user interface is simple to navigate. I can take mediocre clips from my camera roll, trim accordingly, string them together, apply Instagram-like filters, throw some music in the background, and make it look like I’ve spent hours putting a video together. It has a magical way of making my life look much more interesting than it is, too!"
