EG: if you're taking a shit and you're bored, you just open the app and someone's there from god know's where in the world.

You coud call it sh|t shat/chat.

whatsapp is outdated. Their features aren't capable of keeping up with demand, wechat is where it's at, probably THE best msging/social media platform I've ever used.

This is it. I'm going to quit my 9-5 job and start a start-up...

4 years from now, I'll be balling out of control... mark my word.

I actually like LINE for messaging, but seems to be a battery drain on my phone.

The way this tech boom is going is like the dotcom boom all over again but way fucking bigger.

You don't even need to re-create and out-do something like Facebook did to Myspace. You just need to make something super fucking trendy that will explode with popularity and sell it as its peaking within 2 years. Even if that trendy thing is a direct copy of something existing (flappy bird has been done 1000x etc). They key is to make it trendy so every 12-16 year old kid wants it. I swear you could make an app with jingling shiney keys and somehow get 100 million downloads.

Tinder is absolutely genius and such a ridiculously simple concept. It just plays on teenagers social awkwardness and sex drive in the simplest way. Their slogan could be "With this app, you can get laid without ever having to actually talk to someone, and worst case, you can look at pics of hotties in your area."

Snapchat. Instead of sending a text message, you can send a one time short video that (is supposed to) can't be saved. "Chicks will sext you"

Read a great article on this topic a few weeks ago; Quantum Computing: A Primer | TIME.com

It's downright scary what this computer will be able to do and with FB essentially having so much access to so much private data from almost a billion people you wonder if a tech company will one day rule the entire world.

yep that was the computer i was talking about.

located in burnaby too lol.
