When it comes to searching for the right type of business or industry, the only reliable thing you can do is how they are rated. It is something similar to social bookmarking but focused on the business industry. And thanks to Superpages, a new app that allows users to give them random business a “Thumbs Up” or “Thumbs Down” can really be a big help.

The new application is the Superpages Mobile BlackBerry Storm which allows users to rank and provide reviews for specific businesses. With over 17 million U.S. based businesses, this is certainly a great app you can count on to whittle down your selection.

Search by keyword or choose popular categories — like automotive, entertainment, restaurants, services and stores — and view as much or as little information as you like. Use the scroll bar at the top of the search results to minimize or expand business information. Go from business name and number to full business address and services to viewing search results on a map.

The Superpages.com BlackBerry Storm application is free and available in the BlackBerry Store. A version for the BlackBerry Bold and the BlackBerry Pearl will be coming to the BlackBerry Store soon.

Have you ever wondered what would happen once the human race would suddenly grow extinct? Well the thought has crossed our minds for sure and while we may not see what the world would be without human beings, there is a new iPhone application that can perhaps show us how the world would look if and when that time comes.

HISTORY today launched its first iPhone and iPod Touch application, the Life After People Photo Ager, which helps to answer that question. The free application is available for download at Apple’s iTunes store and allows users to “age” images by adding cracks, holes, mold, dirt, vines, plants and even stray animals and rusty bicycles to photos that can be saved for later and shared with friends.

The Life After People Photo Ager is simple to use. Photos can be imported from the user’s own photo library, or users can take their own new photos to “age.” Also part of the application is a “Location Explorer” that lets users page through a unique photo gallery of famous locations – all accompanied by historical descriptions – and then slide a finger along a scroll bar to visually progress its aging process in order to see what it would look like after people. Customizable postcards allow users to share an aged photo, along with a personalized message, with friends.
