    A few days ago, a new app called Shorts arrived in the app store. The app lets you share your camera roll with anyone who's interested -- it's okay, you get to choose which photos and videos you want shared -- with the idea that your friends and family will get a peek into your everyday life, and vice versa. Creator Paul Davison likened it to a lifestream, where the mundane becomes entertainment, where oversharing is encouraged, where the meaning of "TMI" is pushed to the bleeding edge. "It's the most personal and intimate thing we've ever created," he said.
