We have covered Textender and FindMeHere on the blogs before, and today on Twitter I noticed a little bit of news that might be of interest to our readers. Both of these applications are now free until August 3rd.
Textender is a straightforward utility app that allows the expansion of SMS messages beyond 160 characters. Integration throughout the system menus allows you to access it from almost anywhere, and multiple numbers for each contact are supported as well. If you are constantly frustrated by only being able to send 160 characters at a time, pick it up now for no charge.
FindMeHere is an interesting little app that takes your current GPS location and provides the Google Maps link, allowing you to easily send your current location to your friends via a number of options, including Twitter. I use it constantly for sending clients a map to my office location, quickly and conveniently.
