WHAT?
Flipsicle is a new Social Photo App
Ask in Words – Answer with photos
Flipsicle lets you see the World through many eyes
Unlike Facebook: Where the photo is about what happened, the party I went to, the people I hangout with etc.
Unlike Instagram: Where the photo is about beauty
Flipsicle is using the photo to create a new visual language where you use the photo as a chat/ form of conversation.
HOW?
It’s a simple game
Ask something in words
And get photo answers from people around the World.
This is not only addictive, but teaches creativity and empathy
Unlike most apps that make you feel lonelier, Flipsicle converts free time into relationship value – you get to know someone better when you see the world through their eyes
