“Who’s Down” – A New App to Hangout with Friends from Google

College life at times totally becomes boring when you have got nothing to do with. And the worst, your best buddies are busy and no one is replying to your text. Have a mood to chill out? Turn your boredom into something exciting with just one slide of your finger. Google launched its latest app “Who’s Down” with a motive to bring out you from cyberspace to meet space of your friends.

With this latest addition to its list of apps in Play Store, Google will help you find which of your friends are ready to hangout. Find out who are free, chat and make plans with them. With a quick to access toggle switch, your friends can see you are up to hangout with them. Include the status for what you are ‘down for’ e.g. chilling out, movies or even a booze filled night.

What are the Trending Features of ‘Who’s Down’?

• One slider to make you notify as free to hangout.
• Instantly know which friends are free.
• Start a chat and make plans.
• Chat within the app.
• Group chatting features also available.

One of the main character of the app is it is an ‘invite only’ app. Any of your friends need to invite you before you can register into this app. You can even request for an invitation within the app. You need to enter your college or school for signing up, restricting the app to be used by college students only. It does not require you to sign up with your academic Email address on an .edu domain. Once you slide the switch, the app makes you available for three hours.

How’s it different from Apple’s Find My Friends app?

Even though at first it may seem as the app holds similarity to the Apple’s Find My Friends app and Foursquare’s Sworm app. But Google’s ‘Who’s Down’ tells you which of your friends are free as compared to Find My Friends which track your friends. It enables you to quickly group and spend time on events.

Google is not good with its social media efforts. By introducing ‘Who’s Down’ Google is achieving it with small social efforts. Only time will tell how this app outperforms similar apps.

AI Software Designed To Take A Better Selfie

Software and technology have done great things for society. There are robots that build cars, virtual-vision computers that let doctor perform microscopic remote surgery, self-driving vehicles that take the guesswork out of transportation, and more. But all of those advancements pale in comparison to the new AI-level software that helps you take the best selfie ever.

Self portrait of the peruvian photographer Amparo Torres may not score too highly?

Using complicated parameters, Stanford University doctoral student Andrej Karpathy “taught” a computer in their Computer Vision Lab to evaluate selfies and judge their merits to determine if they were good or not. In almost exactly the same way that the human brain develops neural pathways for knowledge and decision making through repeated experiences, the computer “learned” how to judge a selfie by looking through more than 5 million of them and comparing the features of the selfie with the amount of positive feedback it received from viewers online.

According to a report by Mike Murphy for Quartz, the computer’s recommendations were interesting:

  • We like women. The top 100 selfies the neural network chose were all women, most of which had long hair. The program also tended to prefer selfies that cropped out foreheads, for some reason.
  • Selfies should be mostly face. All of the best selfies seem to show the person’s face taking up about one third of the photo, with the head tilted slightly.
  • Distort the photo. Karpathy noticed that the vast majority of popular selfies had oversaturated the face in the photo, added some sort of filter, and probably added a border of some sort around the image.

Unfortunately, Murphy also reported that the computer did not think very highly of his selfie, and even went so far as to recommend a square image in the future. Anyone interested in submitting a selfie of their own for computer evaluation can Tweet it to @deepselfie and wait for a scored response. (Author’s Note: My own selfie was also dogged by the computer and received a score only 2.8 points higher than Murphy’s…sigh.)
