"I've often said that it was the icing on the top of my professional cake," Clark said in an interview from the Oklahoma History Center during the opening of the new exhibition "Pickin' and Grinnin': Roy Clark, 'Hee Haw' Country Humor." The exhibit offers a hearty "salute!" to "Hee Haw," the long-running country variety show that showcased corny country humor alongside performances from top-notch country, gospel and bluegrass musi- Paris Hilton has landed another reality show.

by Multiplied Media. The Poynt app also is available for iPhone and Windows 7 and Android phones. "Where can we Poynt you today?" reads the home screen, which is exactly what the app does. It uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) of your cellphone to localize your search for restaurants, movies, businesses, events, people and more. On my BlackBerry, Poynt acted fast and found many of the sites I was looking for closest to me.

An email first alerted me to the app as a good one to use when searching for the lowest gas prices near me. The app "uses your phone's GPS and cell site location to know where you are and directs you to the nearest andor cheapest options to fuel up," read the email pitching the app. "Poynt's gas feature offers users a smart option to save money on a costly necessity." I realized the app not only performed that function well, but it offered an assortment of location searches often only available on smartphones one app at a time. The app was better and faster than a Google search on my smart -phone's browser for finding businesses, doctor's offices and even people at home. Since searches were pinged to the phone's physical location, I didn't have to type in "Edmond, Okla." as part of the search.

From the Poynt results, I could call the business or drive there with driving directions from Google or BlackBerry Maps without typing in new information. Poynt wasn't perfect. In the restaurant search, although it pointed me correctly to several places to eat near me, the first match was to the "Minor Foral Baseball Academy," which puzzled me. In looking it up, I found that the baseball academy was a few miles away and didn't appear to have a restaurant. However, the associated phone number was to a nearby Starbucks.

If any of the restaurants the Poynt app found required reservations and worked with OpenTable. corn's reservation service, I could have used it to reserve a spot. The app partners with search engines such as SuperPages, White Pages, Cinema Source, movie tickets.com, Opus and others to provide results.
