Just when you thought that Facebook, Twitter and perhaps Foursquare were it, here comes Color, a mobile social media app that is getting a lot of attention and investment money. If you wonder what can be so frightening and amazing about this app imaging yourself taking pictures or videos in a public place and automatically sharing them with everyone in your proximity with the same app. That means friends and strangers alike. You can see their photos and videos too as long as they are within 150 feet. When you leave your images disappear as well. If you are let's say in Times Square Color will provide you with an amazing dimensional experience of the place through the countless angles and points of view of strangers. Color's technology uses a clever combination of GPS and light and sound matching to locate you and other Color users in your proximity.

Don't be put off by the length of this presentation. Once you get started you won't be able to stop. It covers a broad range of trends, from the increasingly dominant role of mobile as the "Everything Hub" to counter-trends where people are embracing De-Teching, taking digital downtime breaks to relieve stress. This information it's a good trends catch-up for just about everyone.
I love the simplicity of this elegantly minimalist design concept. Developed by Korean Studiooo Factory it has a very playful Asian sensibility. Based on the concept of looking at mobile devices as pets that stay with you wherever you go. This concept adds a touch of life to an otherwise rather cold device. It somehow humanizes it, makes it fun and makes you feel even closer to your mobile, if that's even possible. The branding and packaging implementation carries very well the brand personality without losing its sense of humor.

Surely this App looks fun but what I like most is how well tackles the needs of users with a variety of engaging interactive games and tools (access to live streaming video from different locations), social sharing and a photo contest. The need of advertisers by allowing an integrated sponsorship with viral potential (Toshiba will show the photo contest winner face in its massive screen right next to the Times Square Ball) and finally how it fulfills the potential of Apps as a viable marketing medium generating revenue for ad agencies and developers. Download the Times Square Official New Year’s Eve Ball App for Mac and Android. Enjoy it! Happy New Year!!
