Snapchat Now Does Video Chat and IM
-Gizmodo
Snapchat, everybodys favorite sexting app, has just grown up. Now, to complement its simple self-destructing messages,
the iOS and Android apps both handle instant messaging and live video chats. To use them, you just swipe right from the
main camera screen to find a list of friends, from where you can send them a message or start a video call. In keeping with
Snapchats ethos, text is wiped as soon as you exit a chat screen, though you can tap messages to save if you so wish.
Video chats are designed to be ephemeral: a throbbing blue icon tells you when a friend notices you, and you pressand
have to holdit to provide a one-way video stream to their device. Your friend can do the same right back at you. Its an
interesting pair of additions. They radically expand functionality of Snapchat, but also avoid changing the purpose of the
app. Sexting has never had it so good.

Apple pr棚t frapper un grand coup sur le secteur de la sant辿 connect辿e

Foursquares Swarm App Tells Your Friends Generally
Where You Are
-
Gizmodo
Foursquare is about to radically change the way you use it faltering serviceor at least, thats what it hopes to do with a forthcoming
app called Swarm. The new app will be centered around a more general idea of where your friends are, rather than a specific spot
on a map. Rather than announce Swarm itself, Foursquare handed the task of explaining the service to The Verges editorial team,
which has a lengthy feature about the new product. Swarm will launch next month and exist alongside the existing Foursquare
application. Foursquare will remain the check-in service you know, but the social discovery of actually finding things to do and
people to do it with, will migrate over to Swarm.
TheresacoreproblemwithFoursquarethatmight
be a lot of the reason that you dont use it: The
core activity is checking in to a specific location,
rather than seeing what everyone else is up to
in a general area. Whereas you open Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, and other social apps, even
when you arent about to post something, you
probably never open Foursquare unless its to
check in.

Google releases Docs and Sheets apps for iOS and Android
-
Googleislaunchingstandalonemobileappsforthethreekeytoolsinitsproductivitysuite:Docs,Sheets,and際際滷s.The
apps will be available on both iOS and Android, with the former two already out today and 際際滷s coming at a later date.
The Verge
The standalone apps arent strictly necessary though: the ability to
create, view, and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations
has been built into the Google Drive app for some time now. These
new apps even look just like Google Drive, but with different color
schemes. But by breaking them out on their own, Google gives
users of its productivity suite a clear place to go when they want to
get working.
The launch of Docs, Sheets, and 際際滷s apps will also better position
Google to compete against Apple and Microsoft on productivity.
After their launch, Microsofts Office apps for iPad quickly shot to
the top of the App Store and lingered there for some time. Apple
also offers productivity tools for free with new iPhones and iPads.
With three apps of its own, Google can now try to directly compete
with each of them. Big tech companies appear to be seeing the
value in individual apps of late for other reasons too, using them as
a way to create a better experience for each product.

Facebook Vies With Google and Apple for Mobile-App Makers
-
Facebook Inc. wants more Monster Shooter makers.
Bloomberg
The social network recently reached out to Helsinki-
based Huuuge Inc., the maker of the game, to convince
the team to build mobile applications with its tools. The
startup didnt bite, said Anton Gauffin, Huuuges founder
and executive chairman.
I dont think developers really see Facebook as a tool or provider of help for developers, said Gauffin, who added that his
team makes games using Apple Inc.s software.
Facebook is pushing to change that perception this week at the F8 developer conference in San Francisco, the companys
first major event for app makers since 2011. While Facebook once was a key site where software makers like Zynga Inc.
introduced their games, many programmers have since turned their attention to building apps for smartphones instead.
At F8, Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg is set to rally developers with a new message: Facebook has software that
makes it easier to build apps for mobile phones, as well as tools that help programmers sell those wares to the social
networks 1.28 billion users. The more developers use the technologies, the more prominence the social network gains in a
mobile world dominated by Apple and Google Inc.

Facebooks Anonymous Login is Evil Genius
-Mashable
Say what you like about Mark Zuckerberg, the guy is nothing if not
self-aware. He knows that one of the biggest problems Facebook
faces, now and in the future, is the widespread perception that its
vacuuming up all sorts of personal information about you.
At the same time, he knows that Facebooks revenue stream
depends almost entirely on targeted advertising, which in turn
depends on well, vacuuming up all sorts of personal information
about you. What we have here is an image problem.
Time was when Zuckerberg simply told us to grow up, that there was no longer a social norm around privacy amongst his
users. Given the amount of personal information most of us willingly enter into the social network, this was a pretty fair
summary (1.3 billion users and counting cant be wrong, right?)
But something can be accurate and still sound creepy. Were comfortable giving this information to our friends, who happen
to be on Facebook; were not comfortable with the fact that Facebook happens to be peeking over our shoulders the whole
time. So as Zuckerberg inches towards 30, he has slowly been introducing the trappings of a kinder, gentler social network.
Earlier this year we started to see the privacy dinosaur, a cheery blue Barney-like fellow who pops up on Facebook to remind
us that we have the option of setting our posts to public or just letting our friends see them. On Wednesday at f8, the
company went beyond dinosaurs in the evolution of its approach to privacy by introducing anonymous login.

Warner Music distributes NFC guitar picks to fans
-NFC World
Fans attending gigs by Warner Music act The Wild Feathers
have been provided with guitar picks containing an NFC
tag. These could then be used to enter a competition,
share content via social media and take part in votes at
the gig, all initiated by tapping the plectrum with an NFC
phone.
The guitar picks were placed inside promotional flyers for
the band at six venues across Europe and were developed
byNFCspecialistRapidNFCandmobilemarketingprovider
Qodo. Each pick was encoded with a unique URL and
additionally printed with a unique code for iPhone users.
Currently over 65% of the NFC guitar picks have been
registered and 35% of users have shared content, with
an average dwell time of over five minutes, reports Dan
Lewis, CEO of Qodo. The success of this campaign shows
an exciting future for the technology.
Increasingly we are seeing NFC used in experiential
marketing due to the slick one tap interaction it offers,

Are You Ready for the Beacon Revolution?
-Profit Guide
Cookies revolutionized the online shopping experience by providing retailers with the means to identify, store and act on the
behaviour of their customers. Now that same set of capabilities may become a reality for bricks and mortar retailers. Recently,
a number of high-profile retailers have installed hardware in their stores designed to trigger apps to send offers and content
to shoppers in real-time. Most notably, Apple is now using small Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) beacons in all of its stores with
the ability to sense the location of a mobile device from up to 100 feet away, but precisely enough to measure the distance
to the inch.
While BLE systems are also being developed by several others to primarily deliver notifications and even process payments,
retailers could conceivably use signals delivered to apps for another purpose: to connect in-store shopper behaviour to their
larger customer profiles. Loyalty cards and apps have connected purchases to customers like this for years, but these signals
have the potential to add considerable non-purchase behavior to grocers data sets.
Opted-in shoppers would begin clueing grocers into their precise shopping behavior just as they already do online. Shoppers
would reveal when they visited, what categories they browsed, where they lingered and even if they decided not to buy
anything at all. With marketing messages usually coming outside the store environment (weekly sales, loyalty offers, contests
and promotions), this in-store data would undoubtedly help retailers improve their level of personalization.

BASIC, the 50-Year-Old Computer Programming Language for
Regular People
-Gizmodo
Computer coding ability has gotten especially hip recently.
People who cant code revere it as 21st century sorcery,
while those who do it professionally are often driven to
fits by it. And it was 50 years ago today, two Dartmouth
professors debuted a coding language designed to be
easy enough for anyone to use. The language that made
that all possible. They called it the Beginners All-purpose
Symbolic Instruction CodeBASIC.
BeforeBASIC,lifeinthecomputerprogrammingworldwas
complicated. The first generation mainframe computers
were essentially programmed as they were assembled,
like a jigsaw puzzle with infinite solutions. You had to know
how to put the pieces together to get the outcome you
