Sharing in iOS 8 Explained 

Rene Ritchie:

You no longer have to wait for or worry about Apple making — or not making — a specific partnership and integrating a specific service. Any service with an app on the app store can now get in on the sharing, and so can we.

Great layman’s explanation.

‘App: The Human Story’ 

Kickstarter project for a terrific documentary feature film, from directors Jake Schumacher and Jedidiah Hurt:

App creation has become the new art form for our generation. This is the story of the cultural phenomenon that touches all our lives.

I sat for an interview with them while I was in San Francisco for WWDC last month, but I’m not promoting their Kickstarter because I’m in the cast. I sat for the interview because Jake and Jed are making a great movie, and I’m promoting their Kickstarter because I want this to be a huge success for them.

If you have any interest in apps as an art form and a new mass market medium of pop culture, you should back this film. I think it’s going to be great.
