  1. Check it out: The @SoLoMoShow will be syndicated weekly on Social Media Explorer: socialmediaexplorer.com/social-media-m…
  2. Just got a weekly summary email from Pinterest. Is that new?
  3. @marcustroy Matte black and chrome? Sick.
  4. @parislemon Agreed. Pulling the latest photos into the main screen is really slick. I’d expect to see a lot of other apps follow that lead.
  5. Wow; Facebook’s Photos app is slick. Bringing in your camera roll to the main screen, and making it accessible via swipe is new/useful.
  6. @tbiz No bloat. Each app only needs features that make that app's main goal work really well.
  7. @tbiz Maybe having a good core app isn’t their goal? Maybe they’re just going to make apps specific to what you want to do with them?
  8. @zigbot Their old speaker was good, but too expensive, and existed before AirPlay. Bring the cost down, add AP, and you’ve got a winner.
  9. @flyosity Probably separate teams. Let’s just hope now that Camera is out, they can turn their attention to the official app.
  10. I wonder how much of Facebook’s new Photos app was done before the Instagram acquisition: facebook.com/mobile/camera
  11. Great quote from Seth Godin: coryobrien.tumblr.com/post/236761567… - “If you want to, you can never be finished.” Important to keep in mind.
  12. If you own an iPad, and code, do yourself a favor and go buy Diet Coda at 50% off: itunes.apple.com/us/app/diet-co…
  13. 25 pages of pictures of cats with money? Only on Tumblr: cashcats.biz
  14. “Facebook is not only on course to go bust, but will take the rest of the ad-supported Web with it.” Quite an intro: technologyreview.com/web/40437/
  15. @TexasGirlErin I've received that same @Twitter email 15+ times already. I get it Twitter, changes are coming! #SocialSpam
  16. Need a little inspiration? Check out Steve Told Us: linkfrom.co/KR1tiL
  17. This Tweet is worth at least 3 nanoKardashians of your attention: ethanzuckerman.com/blog/2012/05/0…
  18. With $FB’s current market cap, does that mean they only paid $690 million for @Instagram? Guess they got a deal?
  19. If you have a Keurig, get this @EkoBrew from @Groupon: groupon.com/deals/gg-ekobr… We have one, and it's the only reusable filter that works.
