Really, do we need to explain why we like Facebook? The company's iPhone app brings all the things you love or hate about Facebook to your pocket, including that constantly updating list of your friends' links, loves, lunches, locations and more.
Tweeting pictures via iPhone has never been simpler. Just point, shoot and share your snapshot with your entire flock of followers. As you might expect, all the other Twitter-ific things are present in the app, including the ability to DM people, @reply, post tweets, and follow breaking news.
The search over the Internet is even more convenient with Google's iPhone app, which puts the web and all of your favorite Google products like Gmail and Maps at your fingertips. There is also a voice recognition app that allows users to simply announce what they're searching for. As a bonus, Google Googles has finally made it to the iPhone, allowing you to use pictures to search the web for landmarks, products and more.
Skype uses your phone's data connection to make free calls to other Skype users. Unlike FaceTime that only works on Wi-Fi networks, Skype users can video-chat with each other over a 3G connection, which can be pretty value-for-money with low-cost international calling plans and CD-quality voice transmission.
Foursquare can detect you at your favorite pizza place and it will load tips from other users, or alert you to other Foursquarers currently in the joint. Check in to a location often enough and you're dubbed the “mayor", an honor that sometimes comes with discounts.
