Today Jennifer Brett showed me how to convert a desktop Facebook video to the mobile version and then download it into my desktop so it can be repurposed without using the Facebook URL — and how to edit it — assuming I have permission from the author, of course.
Also, I learned that had I upgraded my iPhone already, I would not have needed to buy Apple TV to mirror my phone screen on a desktop. No. Newer phones have something my 4S does not, a Lightning port. That thing allows you to mirror your phone screen for free via Quicktime.
You can use that process to save anything that’s on your phone into your desktop.
Not me, though. I can’t.
Jennifer likes a social media aggregative trend analyzer called Nuzzel (nuzzel.com) that tells you what your most active followers are talking about.
Skitch, from Evernote, lets you draw arrows on photos or whatever. I have used Preview to draw arrows, but Previews arrows are wimpy. Skitch draws big fat arrows.
Here's a primer:

Phon.to (phontograph) lets you write text on a picture — which Preview will do. But Phon.to does it better. It’s a free app but with in-app purchases. You can load 400 fonts into your phone and curve them.
Ripl.com is like an animated Canva. It turns stills into videos and packages them with text for social media posts.
Animoto.com is sort of like videolicious but work son a desktop. And it has some royalty free music on board to choose from, but you can import your own.
Pixabay.com has royalty free images.
If someone deletes his Twitter feed, you can see it if you quickly look under cachedview.com. Just paste in the URL of his Twitter feed.
And I'm going to buy a mobile Bluetooth enabled keyboard that can connect to my phone. Called 1byone it costs $18.99 on Amazon.
She also talked about Filmora, but my mind wandered. I have no idea what that does.
