FOR THE CLEAVERS AMONG US:
A Social Network Built for Two: A new app gives couples a private network to share texts, videos, and virtual kisses--and shows there's space for social innovation. (Rachel Metz, 3/30/12, Technology Review)
You probably have a lot of friends on Facebook, but chances are there are only a few people--and one in particular--that you interact with most in real life.A new, free app called Pair wants to make it easier to connect with your special someone, whether it's a significant other, family member, or friend. And while the app--which allows you to share messages, videos, and "kisses" with one other person--may sound a bit silly, it shows there's still plenty of room for innovating in the increasingly crowded field for social mobile apps. [...]Recognizing that we tend to communicate mostly with just one or two people, and that many of us use a number of methods to communicate with these folks, Rajendiran and his collaborators came up with Pair to simplify and amplify one-on-one connections.
