Mixlr is a social broadcast application that draws on music and audio tracks from SoundCloud. Once set up you invite friends through Facebook and Twitter to listen to your playlist with you - it's a very sociable way to enjoy your favourite tracks.

For visually impaired social media fans, the Qube is a free downloadable screen-reader application that turns Twitter text into talk. You can complete all the tasks you need to with keyboard shortcuts, like mentions, follows, opening webpages and even blocking anyone whose tweets offend.

If you find yourself stuck in a major city in need of a last-minute hotel, you may find some pleasing deals at HotelTonight - a free app for iPhone and Android that operates a same-day discount business model to bring you discounts of up to 70% in selected areas.
