So it’s been said that 2012 is gonna be ‘the year of the second screen’. Because there’s been quite some writing about this, everyone is gonna want a ’second screen application’ and 99% of them will do 3 things and 3 things only: Show a twitter feed about the show on the telly, give you background information about the subjects, and let you purchase the stuff in the commercial breaks.

Meet Remotely.tv. A Dutch startup that does exactly that. For all shows on all channels (the Dutch ones at least).

Good luck with your second screen applications. Let’s hope they can do something else.

Just because.

Today Hipstamatic launched a new way of image sharing. Unlike Instagram, that shares pictures on a timeline, Hipstamatic Disposable shares the max of 24 pictures by cloud-syncing it with you and your friends.

I’ll give it a on Achtung’s early Christmas dinner tonight.

“A video gallery of cinematic villainy, inspired by nefarious icons and featuring the best performers from the year in film.” Beautiful.

This app does what Foursquare was made for, but no one uses it for. Also, you can recommend other stuff besides places. With only limited ’stamps’ to put on things, and no reward for ’stamping’ more and more, it probably stays clean and useful. Via Cooper

Lomokino is the new Lomo camera that lets you film 144 frames on a 35mm roll. Pretty cool. Santa, if you read this, you can find it here.

According to Google Suggest, Romanians are stupid, rude and ugly. As a follow up on the American Rom campaign, Rom wanted to change this. The national candy bar lets Romanians search “Romanians are smart” in all kinds of languages to change the suggestions Google gives.
