<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/facebook-teases-snapchat-competitor-slingshot-later-today' title="Facebook releases Slingshot photo-social app for iOS"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/field/image/2014/06/slingshot_share_mx_hero.JPG?itok=ANkEzPpA' />[/url]</p> <p>Facebook is no stranger to social media, so it should be of little surprise to see them taking on Snapchat (http://www.imore.com/tag/snapchat) in their latest released dubbed Slingshot (http://www.imore.com/tag/slingshot). Slingshot is a photo sharing app, but instead of just expiring photos, users send one photo to a contact, but the recipient cannot see the image until one gets sent in return.</p> <!--break--> <p>Slingshot is officially launching today for iOS and Android, at least according to the service's new Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/slingshot) and website found at www.sling.me (http://www.sling.me/). In addition, a promotional video sharing how the service works was also released, teasing users with the prospect of yet-another photo sharing gimmick.</p> <p>Will Facebook strike gold with Slingshot? Go ahead and download the app and you tell us. At least it's a new idea, if not somewhat contrived.</p> <p>You can <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id878681557?at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">download Slingshot for iOS here in the App Store now[/url].</p> <p>What do you think of Slingshot? Will it be a fad or the next Instagram? Let us know in comments.</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-25200"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3b98b4de/sc/15/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
