media type="custom" key="25558688" align="center"

App Smashing is a technique coined by [|Greg Kulowiec] that uses multiple apps to complete a project. [|The Chemistry of Combos] chart below is helpful because it categorizes apps into three distinct categories: absorption (content & research) apps, creation (using content & research) apps, and presentation (sharing) apps. Think of 'smashing' apps from these categories as you plan your projects. In other words, try to think of ways to use apps 'together' rather than as 'stand alone.'
