<\/span>Tap In Guide<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

\nWith the 2014 FIFA World Cupâ„¢<\/a> nearly upon us, I thought it ideal to share Tap In first. Tap In is a tiny mobile-optimized site which offers a quick reference guide of the matches, calendar, key players, teams by group, and other handy information of the World Cup.
\nBonus #1:<\/strong> If you already have a team that you’re looking to root for, grab one of these beautiful smart phone wallpapers<\/a><\/strong> by the talented Phil Coffman<\/a> and represent your team.
\nBonus #2:<\/strong> Google released a map collection of Brazil’s World Cup Stadiums<\/a>. Take a quick tour inside all 12 of them before the fútbol action officially gets started.

<\/span>Voycee<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

\nThe self-proclaimed “history-free social network,†Voycee is an iOS app that lets users share and follow status updates, photos, videos, audio files and other forms of social media posts — all while avoiding privacy concerns present in other social networks. As you create a new post, your previous post (and all of its activity — such as likes, comments, and hash tags) is automatically deleted. Think of it as Facebook<\/a> meets Snapchat<\/a>.

<\/span>30 Weeks<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

\n30 Weeks is an experimental founders program for designers that enables 20 participants the opportunity to build a product over 30 weeks in New York starting. This first program starts in September 2014. Hopefully, if this experiment goes well, they’ll consider opening up similar programs to other areas of the US with more frequency.

<\/span>Square: Invoices<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

\nLaunched this week, the Square platform<\/a> has added Invoices to their robust family of commerce products. Invoices allows users to send unlimited invoices right to customer inboxes for free, and those customers can pay invoices (of which Square retains a nominal 2.75% fee for the transaction) — resulting in getting paid within one to two business days. This is another smart addition to their overall payment platform. Well played, Square.

<\/span>Instagram: New Creative Tools<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

\nInstagram has been building new editing tools, and earlier this week, they launched their latest efforts for both iOS and Android apps. As stated in this Mashable post<\/a>, the full list of new features includes the following: adjust, brightness, contrast, warmth, saturation, highlights, shadows, vignette, sharpen, and filter strength. All that’s needed is a quick update, and you can start using these brilliant editing additions in your favorite photo app.

\nDuring the WWDC 2014<\/a> keynote earlier this week, Apple announced a ton of great new features across their products and gave a preview of what’s to come in their latest OS X design update, titled Yosemite. The desktop and app styles that were revealed have been beautifully evolved from the last (flat) design releases — making the launch of OS X Yosemite that much more anticipated. And, if you want to dig into the visuals, check out this Flickr collection by Manik Rathee<\/a> of the Apple Product Pages from WWDC 14.
