Okay everybody, it's time to do your buddy Cisco a favor and restart your phones ASAP. We've got Vine + Snapchat apps launched and ready to download, and the future of social media rests in our capable hands. But considering how many of us apparently rolled in here from the dark ages or something, you can find a few tutorials in the main menus.

Snapchat is here to keep our photography game on-point. Features include: filters, captions, touchscreen-enabled drawing, comments. If you're allergic to fun, consider the prospect of taking pictures of shadow monsters and labeling them all in one convenient program. I know I'm ready to bring my selfie game back from an early grave.

Vine is about mastering the art of the 6-second video, and it's the toughest challenge out there. The plus side is, it only takes video when you're touching the screen. You can get a lot of stuff into 6 little seconds, guys. Take advantage of it. Features include: video looping, replay count.

Anyway, have fun with those. I've got some other projects on my plate, but I take app requests. If it feels like what you're looking for in an app is impossible, ask me anyway and I'll work on it. Like I said earlier: dark ages. I might already know a good app for what you want. But even if someone DOES ask for something off the wall, I think we can all admit that making an impossible app a reality sounds hella cool. Am I right or am I right?

As long as I can keep my fingers out of the shot. The phone is small for me.

I can see how that might be a problem. I'll add selfie sticks to my to-do list just for you, buddy. Honestly I don't even know what I was thinking leaving them out.

Selfie sticks?

They're the distance-selfie tool of the future. You don't have to fiddle with tiny phone buttons AND you can get more scenery in the picture behind you.

And I bet they'd be handy for taking stealth pics around corners, but the real challenge is figuring out how taking a picture around a corner could be handy here...

Interesting.

And if you knew there was a shadow around the corner but didn't want to get close, it could be helpful.

And phone cameras usually have a pretty good flash on them. It's no flash grenade, but it might be handy in a pinch. Especially if we can tweak them a little.

I'd have to see if I can get a spare phone to experiment with, but it seems simple enough to do.
