You may know Automattic as the guys behind WordPress.com. But Automattic is also the moving force behind apps like Gravtaar, Code Poetry & PollDaddy.
But for some weeks now though, the Automattic team has been toying with a new experiment called Selfies. It was conceived around the time Automattic raised US $160 million round of funding back in May 2014.
As of now, Selfies is extremely simple app. You fire it up & start taking your pics, add a caption & a filter, & posting to the network. At the moment there’s a single, public stream of selfies in the app.
Selfies was conceived amidst developments of a photo app for Gravatar & that’s why for now it’s an Android app. Encapsulating the excitement of taking & sharing selfies, the Automattic team released the Selfies app as a platform for this very purpose.
Clearly, the app is in its infancy. Users can also react to other people’s selfies with their own images or captions, which often leads to a fun back and forth that turns selfies into mini stories. The team at Automattic has made an effort to find the “quickest time to fun” in this app – get users to post and enjoy images right away instead of making them go through the numbing series of sign ups, logins, Facebook & Twitter connections, etc that are common in other apps.
