The Selfie Camera

The selfie is now not just restricted to cell phones. You no longer have to worry about unclear selfies because of the quality from your front facing camera. Samsung has launched a camera that is perfect for taking selfies. The camera has a lens that can rotate 180 degrees in order to take the ultimate selfie.

This new camera called the NX Mini is small and comparable to the weight of smart phones. The camera also has features that allows you to immediately share the photos you've taken. Similar to your phone you can take a selfie on the camera and share it with all of your friends. I think we will begin to see more cameras that are taking the approach to have double functions like the NX Mini. 

March Madness

With the beginning of March Madness only a few days away Turner Sports has recreated the way fans watch. Turner in conjunction with NCAA and others is in charge of creating the app for the event. The application is redesigned following the end of each March Madness in order to improve the application. Turner is aware that people not only watch the games but tune into Twitter and other various forms of social media to stay updated with everything going on.

This year the application updated the bracket function allowing for a zoom function. Along with the bracket they added other things including a map to see where all the Tweets are coming from around the US. They also added an area to see which school is gaining more twitter presence.

The Oscars & Social Media

Social media was buzzing last night with the events of the Oscars. From outfits, to winners all things were brought up on social media. The most talked about thing from last night was the selfie Ellen posted via Twitter. 

Ellen's tweeted selfie surpassed President Obamas image after being reelected in 2012 that was once the most retweeted image of all time. Her tweet received nearly 2.7 million retweets and was rumored to be taken with a Samsung mobile device. Although the phone was not mentioned or captured in the picture I don't think Samsung will regret being a sponsor for the Oscars because of this image.
