Facebook, Twitter, CNN and Tumblr apps confirmed for Google Glass


Google has announced seven new high profile applications for its Google Glass wearable computing device.


On day two of the Google I/O developer conference, Google finally decided to open the conversation on Google Glass having surprisingly omitted any mention of it from the three hour keynote on Wednesday.


The new applications include Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr updates, while breaking news will also be provided by CNN.


Users will be able to compose tweets through their view and see text appear in their eyeliner, while wearers of the device can sent photos to Facebook.


Users of the CNN app will be able to choose which kind of updates they receive and when they're delivered. They'll also be able to read the news, listen to it or watch video clips.


There's also an Evernote app where users will be able to access their notebooks and receive reminders from the service.


There's also an Elle app to send you fashion tips, while the first game for the service, Icebreakers, has also been made available


All seven apps are available from today for those fortunate enough to be rocking a pair of the AR specs.


They join the Path and New York Times apps already confirmed for Google Glass.
