Hello again, and welcome to the carnival.

There don’t seem to be many articles this month that are worth sharing with you.  Many left over from last month and the new ones are either not really ’latest inventions’ and many of the submitted articles are just a few paragraphs long and full of links!

These aren’t articles - they are not sharing anything new with readers or even treating us like readers - they are trying to get clicks by using key words!

Where are all the great articles about actual new inventions, great technology and interesting new gadgets?

Lets hope we get some in for next month otherwise this carnival will have to change it’s name to ‘X new iPhone applications for Y’ as these are all I get plenty of!

And here is the latest one:  Shannon Wills presents 50 iPhone Apps That Will Make You Much Healthier

Hope to see you next month…….
