@scotthurff their domain isn't resolving yet: http://sling.me/ I think @daveambrose may have jumped the gun :)

Ambition Today - Shahab Kaviani of CoFounders Lab, Breezio, and Hyperoffice

Based on the description in this TC piece (http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/09...), it reminds me more of Povio than of Snapchat, from a UX perspective.

It's interesting they're doing this after shutting down Poke (which is a very similar concept and relatively similar implementation) just three months ago. I wonder what they felt went wrong with Poke, and what they got right with Slingshot.

@gkoberger - biggest difference is the level of Facebook branding. Slingshot is totally separate. Facebook Poke was part of FB.

Nice hunt, @daveambrose. I copied the App Store description before they took it off the U.S. store: Slingshot lets you quickly share moments—little and big—with all your friends. Shoot a photo or video of what you’re up to and sling it to a bunch of people. They won’t be able to see your shot until they sling something back. Tap on a shot to react, or simply swipe it away. • Stay in touch: Capture photos and videos of moments you want to share with friends • Go shot for shot: To unlock new shots, first you have to sling something back • Enjoy it while it lasts: Once you swipe a shot away, it’ll no longer be viewable • Send a quick reply: After unlocking a shot, respond with your reaction • Get creative: Express yourself with captions and drawings • Look when you want: View unlocked shots later if you’re busy Download now and give it a, uh, shot.
