"The amateur iPhoneographer demographic is huge -  there are far more iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 users in the world than had already joined Foap. But the founders also wanted to keep it iPhone only. So the founding pair decided to create a greater incentive for Foap's army of iPhoneographers to get their friends to join the community too: by offering commission. Every photo license on Foap costs $10. For every one sold, the photographer gets $5, while Foap keeps $5. But now, if you invite a friend, you get 10 percent of each of their photos that are sold. Your newly invited friend the photographer still gets their $5, though - your 10 percent "commission" comes out of Foap's take."

"There are 211.5 million people playing games in the United States, a loss of 12 million players (5 percent) from 2011's numbers, the NPD reports. Not all of the gaming categories lost players, however: Mobile gamers rose 9 percentage points to take 22 percent, and digital gamers gained 4 percentage points to 16 percent. This makes mobile gamers the largest audience segment, surpassing core gamers, which held the top spot in 2011. The remaining categories - core, family and kid, light PC, and avid PC gamers - lost 17.4 million people this year. This is a "slight decline," the NPD says."

"President Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention fueled a outpouring of tweets, spiking at 52,757 tweets per minute. Twitter called it a "record political moment," adding that Obama's next two biggest spikes (43,646 and 39,002) surpassed Romney's peak at 14,239. In all, 9 million tweets about the DNC this week were sent by the conclusion of the president's speech. Of course, volume isn't everything. Obama's score on Twitter's political index rose just 2 points when we checked it after the speech. Politico reported that it dropped 4 points. And for a bit of context, the VMA's on MTV - which aired Thursday night against the DNC - attracted a record 7.9 million tweets, well above the network's record of 5.5 million from the year before."
