It’s a simple idea that yields an addictive game. As you consider the questions themselves, the possibilities are endless.

Mini Fimpjes Where
Twitter itself is meant for short text messages of up to 140 characters, Twitter’s video service Vine made for short video fragments of up to six seconds. The Vine app is already used by over 13 million people. IPhone owners were already acquainted with it in January, but the app has recently finally available for devices on Android (4.0 and higher) run.

The nice thing is that the recording Vine keep. initiated by your finger on the touch screen You remove it from there, then stop the recording. That way you can make a kind of short time lapse recording, each of which is repeated. The videos can be shared. By pressing the button on Twitter The Android version also offers something new that the iPhone version does not have: a zoom function. That is perhaps somewhat hard to find: you have to use the volume button on your phone while recording

Twitter has announced for the future even more updates for both versions, such as the ability to put movies on Facebook. .

Drawing with Disney
Looking for an alternative to Draw Something, the Pictionary-like game that quite a while ago was a huge hit? Perhaps ScribbleMix , the latest app from Disney, or something. As with Draw Something is hereby intended that you create a drawing based on random words you get handed, and your friends must guess. This time, however, a combination of words, such as “king throwing a party in a castle.” During recommend you get four choices presented three times. Do you have them all good (king party castle), you get the most points.

That makes a lot easier than ScribbleMix Draw Something. The game therefore focuses more on children. But the big advantage is that there is not as fast more misunderstandings about how to write a certain word in English. That was a nasty threshold at some Dutch Draw Something (both games are in English). Disney describes it as a “hilarious and absurd character game to play with friends.” The game is designed to the new Monsters Inc.-animated film from Disney to turn in the spotlight.
