Back in 2006, when I was a fresh faced student getting up at midday with a hangover, covered in snakebite I was super reluctant to join up to Facebook when I first came across it. I eventually joined, and the rest is history. Then came Twitter and I was more eager to join up, but it took a few weeks to actually ‘get it’ and understand how it works.

The Fancy, a Pinterest-like startup that wants you to shop what you save, updated its apps for iPhone and iPad devices Wednesday.
