Facebook announces Slingshot application a Snapchat competitor
Facebooks Creative Labs today has announced their second new application for Android and iOS operating systems, named as Slingshot. The application, that was accidentally released by the Facebooks developers earlier this week in the Google Play Store is now official for the public to download for free of cost on both the platforms.
Like rumored in the past, the new application will be a competitor for the existing messaging application from the market, like Snapchat for instance, where with the new Facebooks Slingshot too, users will be able to send and receive short length videos and photos that "don’t stick around forever", actually these files will disappear after you viewing them within the new app.
So to be clear, you will be able to "Sling" a video or photo to a bunch of your friends or one, what youre up to, whom you are with or even a selfie, with some writings and colors over it. In order for your friends to open what you just send, he will have to send/reply you back with a "Sling", meaning a picture or video before they can view what just came in their inbox. Dont get us wrong, you wont be replying the shot with a reaction to whatsoever that just came in, as you are not aware what exists in the video or photo you just received, but only sending back with what you are currently up to or about doing some cool stuff around, to know what your friend just sent you. Following that, users then send reply with a reaction or just swipe it away, which will clear it forever. Seems to be fun and interesting?

"With Slingshot, we wanted to build something where everybody is a creator and nobody is just a spectator. When everyone participates, there’s less pressure, more creativity and even the little things in life can turn into awesome shared experiences. This is what Slingshot is all about."
