Out of all of the social media apps available, Tinder is the most fascinating. For the unfamiliar, here’s how it works: link your Facebook to the app for a photo and a few other details, set a search radius and preferred gender(s), and swipe the endless stream of potential partners left for no, or right […]
Vine, still the most interesting art-making mobile app this side of Glitché, has yet to see any serious competition in the video-sharing space. (Snapchat rolled out video recently, but its private, ephemeral nature makes it a different beast entirely). But that’s about to change. According to a report from TechCrunch, Instagram will debut Vine-like video sharing features […]

Less Toaster and X-Pro II and more psychedelic digital chaos, you know? Turn off Instagram, download Glitché for free, and get to work. Like that app, Glitché […]
Not even six-second clips are safe from Prince’s well–documented copyright fury, it seems, as the artist’s label has served Vine and its parent company, Twitter, with several Digital Millenium Copyright Act complaints over videos posted to the service.
