Yahoo Livetext will be up for download July 30th

After making its appearance on the Hong Kong App Store, Yahoo’s Livetext is finally heading this way starting tomorrow, July 30^th. What is Livetext, you ask? It’s Yahoo’s new video text app that lets you send texts with videos. The catch? It doesn’t have any sound. Basically, it’s like having people, or rather the person you’re talking to, see you while you text. We’re still not quite sure if this’ll catch on. But if you’re interested in trying this out, the app will be available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store tomorrow. It’s launching here in Canada, the U.S., the U.K., France, and Germany. As mentioned, the app is already available in Hong Kong. It’s also already available in Taiwan and Ireland.

VSCO introduces Collections, lets you curate your favorite shots

VSCO’s newest feature can be considered a cross between Instagram and Pinterest. Collections lets you “connect with” photos taken by other VSCO users by curating them and putting them in your, well, collection. You simply search and explore through VSCO’s feed and double-tap images that catch your eye. These will then be saved into your library. You can then curate them in the Collections part. Those who posted the photos will be notified that their images are part of a collection. Other users can also see what you’ve been curating. This update has rolled out to both VSCO’s iOS and Android apps.

Microsoft a few weeks back announced the rebranding of its Xbox Music service to Groove. Now, it’s been officially unveiled to coincide with the release of Windows 10. The highlights Microsoft wants you to focus on with Groove is that you can upload your music to OneDrive, save files for offline use, and stream music with Groove Music Pass ad-free on the web, PC, iPhone, Android and Windows Phone devices. They boast around 40 million songs available. And Sonos already supports the rebranded service, even if it’s just on beta.
