  • Gotta have the soundtrack to that movie you just saw? MediaHound unifies the entertainment world so that it’s much easier to discover, explore and purchase related content.
  • PoochPal throws dogs a mobile app they can gnaw on – a social network centered on finding canine companions and letting local dog owners bond over their pets.
  • Real conversation with real people, it’s the best way to learn a new language. Online language learning platform, i2istudy, turns pretty much anyone into a native speaking teacher.

  • If your team collaborates online, 90% of your communication is in the form of GIFs. Get ready for that percentage to climb higher.
  • A secure and confidential internet. About time. Minus the chores and complications? Hallelujah!
  • We’ve all sent emails to the wrong address or come to regret a fateful click on second reflection. Now you can unsend those emails. Unbelievably cool.
