To Be or Not To Be...Social

Raise your hand if you think Instagram was the rip off of 2012.....Ya me too.  Bring in Snapseed. More filters, more editing capabilities, and more functionality without the "Rich Kids of Instagram" egos.

Speaking of Facebook, why are they missing the boat on networking?  They should have spent a billion dollars on Tagged, not Instagram. Tagged interweaves similar interests online to introduce you to people you've been missing. Gear up online game junkies and Match.com-ers...it's time to fill the rolodex with people just like you.

Why has no one invented that yet?! Quirky lets you Invent. Influence. Earn. You think it's a must have? It's time to let your peers be the judge. Post your idea on Quirky, let the community vote, and CHA-CHING your idea is manufactured & generating revenue - If it's any good, that is.

Calling all Moms! It's daily deals just for you, from you. Moms start sharing their likes and discounts amongst each other on Plum District.


SNAPSEED
Move over Instagram - this is worth more than your Billion dollars

Launched for Apple products in 2011, Snapseed is still flying under the radar thanks to the outrageous following of Instagram. For all of you who are rolling your eyes, here is something to smile about. At $4.99 on the iTunes App Store you can snag the Snapseed app and experience the following:

- Auto correct adjusts color & exposure automatically

- Blur the background with one touch


TAGGED
It's social discovery to find new relationships for friendship, dating, business, family life....anything
