Here are my TechCrunch post of thoughts on Riff http://t.co/ndC75vyit6 Overall, it seems novel, but many like JumpCam have failed at collaborative UGC video. It's tough to make crowdsourced, individually curated video content that's consistently worth watching, and many are still afraid of getting in front of a camera for a permanently recorded video.

I assumed this was a joke at first because who launches a real product on April Fools? Apparently Facebook does. 😃

@joshm - what happened with Rooms? Is that still being worked on and if not, why do you think it didn't take off?
EDIT: or are we getting trolled? If so, 👏

Immediately fun and lighthearted, and the collaborative aspect is well-done. Loving the trend in new mobile apps that allow for easy creation of small communities around specific types of content (streaming and collaborative video being the hot ones at the moment). Nice job @joshm & team!

Random observation: Feels a bit odd that Facebook is using iPhone 5 as frames in the App Store screenshots.

Facebook tries again to innovate in mobile, misses the trend of the day yet again.
