backed by DreamWorks. The idea is to create "snackable media" by mashing up text, video, images and audio into 60-second slideshows or videos. The personalized one-offs can then be broadcast across channels, a full composition taking mere minutes to complete. Rather than limiting the sharing to the user's own content, all media aggregated from social feeds are fair game for users to "ptch" to their friends.
