One Memento: An app that lets you share only one photo. FOREVER
There are so many photo apps on the market at the moment that even we've lost sight of those that are good, those that are bad, those that have great filters and those that have the coolest effects, which is probably why we've been so loyal to Instagram recently. So we were really excited to…
YES WORLD: Study proves that cat videos make you a better person (maybe)

Google adds underwater "street view" to Maps
In a bid to prove just how much better Google's mapping services are compared to Apple's, the company has decided to say "Pfft, maps of the land? We now own the sea bitchez. Yeah, THE ACTUAL OCEAN.
