Posted on May 6, 2016 by Jules Wang

Google’s artificial intelligence may soon be able to snatch dates away from you at the bar. It’s been reading up and refining its pickup game by reading up on romance novels:“Damn girl, this is the best French toast I’ve ever had.”and:I wanted to peel that dress off of your body myself and I’m pissed I won’t get the chance to now.It was difficult picking out passages from Kelly Elliott’s Unconditional Love, but those are just two of the many from the ...

Last year, Facebook caught a lot of flak for releasing a Snapchat clone last year, dubbed Poke. However, the app never really caught on and Facebook pulled it from the App Store back in May.Just last week, Facebook tried its hand at the destructive photo sharing app again by releasing another Snapchat competitor, Slingshot.

In that time, I’ve become convinced that the concept behind it is bigger than Facebook Home, Facebook Messenger, and could become bigger than even Facebook itself – at least insofar as it relates to smartphone UI design. The quick rundown for those not yet indoctrinated into the new club of bubble-tappers: Chat Heads are floating overlays on your smartphone’s home screen. ...
