Simplistic Sharing Apps

The Viggo App Lets You Throw Content to Share With Everyone in the Area

— March 28, 2015 — Tech
Similar to Filedrop or AirDrop by Apple, the Viggo app allows you to throw content into the air in order to share with others in the vicinity. The social networking platform lets you share content including photos, contact information, files and more using Bluetooth technology.

Compatible with iOS devices, the simplistic app is extremely easy to use. You just open the app, throw content and it will become available to all those within Bluetooth range (as long as they also have the Viggo app downloaded on their smartphones). There is also an ephemeral component -- turn off the app or disable sharing and the content will not be available anymore. For added security, you can protect individual items as well as collections with a password.
Trend Themes
1. Personalized Sharing - The rise of apps like Viggo and AirDrop demonstrates a trend towards personalized and convenient ways of sharing content.
2. Proximity Sharing - The Viggo app capitalizes on the trend of proximity sharing, enabling users to share content with others in their immediate vicinity.
3. Ephemeral Content - Apps like Viggo with an ephemeral component are tapping into the trend of temporary or short-lived content, offering users a sense of privacy and control over their shared materials.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile App Development - The rise of simplistic sharing apps like Viggo presents an opportunity for mobile app developers to create innovative and user-friendly sharing platforms.
2. Social Networking - The Viggo app's social networking capabilities highlight the potential for disruption in the social networking industry, as users seek new ways to connect and share content.
3. Digital Security - With the ability to password protect individual items and collections, the Viggo app showcases an opportunity for the digital security industry to develop more secure and privacy-focused sharing solutions.
