More speculations of a 'rekindled romance' arose between Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart these past few months since the time that both were spotted sharing a smooch with each other in the set of American Idol. Rumors even heated up because of a very recent Instagram video posted by Casper Smart himself showing the latter and JLo having fun during a vacation in Santa Monica.
It's been a pretty big week for social media: as the turmoil in Egypt reminded us of the importance of instant user-generated news, Twitter added instant translation for non-Arabic speakers to better understand what's happening in that part of the world. Meanwhile, Instagram and Vine are at it again, both adding features and/or bug fixes in an increasing social video arms race.
It's been a pretty exciting week for social media, Facebook in particular. A day after adding 15-second videos to its Instagram photo sharing service, Facebook admitted that a bug in its system accidentally exposed 6 million users' personal information. Meanwhile, Google Plus might be adding Google Mine, a service to share your stuff.
At the Facebook even on June 20, Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom introduced their challenger to Vine, an enhanced feature of the photo-sharing app that allows users to take 15-second videos and share them over social networks. The new Instagram comes with filters, but also includes a brand-new feature that Systrom says "will change video forever."
