For those who prefer art house films to box office blow-ups, Flixel may be more to their liking. Recognizing that the technical expertise that Beck and Burg pour into their category-defining works is not attainable by the everyman, Flixel co-founder Mark Homza wanted to introduce a systemized way for people to add discreet animations to their photos.

The resulting “living photo” app, which hit the iTunes store in March, captures video frames from still images, after which users simply swipe their digits over the area to which they want to add movement.

A Chinese website has come up with a way for worried parents to tackle the problem of marriage: a dating site for babies! The infant matchmaking service was started by Chinese childcare site Baby Tree. Using the website, parents may create a Fisher-Price My First SNS Profile, complete with a profile picture. Once they think they have found the perfect match, they can “throw a wedding” online.

Of course, most parents who are participating in the Baby Tree dating site are very aware that their kids are probably not going to end up with the kids they have chosen. Rather, they just feel like it is a great way to meet other parents and ensure that their kids have some friends early on in life.

The rise of social networks like Facebook have increased the amount of information that users share with one another, while GPS-enabled smartphones give a constant record of where we are at any given moment. A new iPhone application called Highlight hopes to leverage all the data we are sharing and combine it with location data to help connect people who might have things in common.

After downloading and installing the app, users connect their accounts with Facebook, add a few minor personal details… and then they sit around and wait. Or move around and wait. Either way, eventually users will be pinged when they get within a reasonable distance of someone they might know or someone their friends know on Facebook.
