Flock is not just a brand new app; we see it as a brand new *kind* of app.  While most apps today jockey for our ever-dwindling time and attention, attempting to become one of the apps that we think about the most, Flock is different.  We designed Flock so you don't have to think about it at all.  You just live your life like you already do.  Spend time with your friends and family; take photos with whatever camera app you prefer.  There's no work for you at all, really.  Flock uses new battery-friendly location technology and sophisticated algorithms to magically know which of your Facebook friends you are with when photos are taken.  After you leave your group hike, or the night out on the town, or Thanksgiving dinner, Flock will check if anyone wants to share the photos they took and then bring those photos together into a single group album for everyone to enjoy.  And because most photos taken by iOS devices are geotagged, Flock can even work backwards in time from before you installed the app!  So if you and your friends and family install the app today, you'll likely unlock lost memories that were trapped on each other's phones for years.

After all three finish shooting and uploading their footage to Vyclone's servers, the app algorithmically cuts and edits a video using the four (or fewer) different video streams, creating one supercut out of all the footage.

So Facebook wants to bring you content serendipity with Paper, a standalone iOS news reader app it revealed today that delivers human and algorithm-curated full-screen articles and photos in categories you select like Tech, LOL, and Pop Culture. Paper launches to everyone in the U.S. on February 3rd, the day before Facebook's 10th birthday.

"Originally called Pinfluencer, Piqora was one of the first companies to offer Pinterest insights before Pinterest launched an analytics tool of its own. Its other customers include Sephora, Zappos, Etsy, Z Gallerie, Orbitz, and Steve Madden. Using an image recognition-based algorithm, Piqora can surface brand-related hashtags, images, and links from the three top visual networks, where keywords aren't enough. Hashtag-tracking technology is especially important on Instagram, where Piqora says brands have seven times more hashtags than they have followers."
