No-one could have predicted the enormous success of Yo, a simple messaging app that sends nothing but the word “Yo” to your friends. Now Mobli, the company it was spun out from, wants to capitalize on that incredible hype with a new app called Mirage, which offers one-tap photo and video-sharing similar to Taptalk and Facebook’s new Slingshot app. Just like Taptalk, the bottom half of the screen is used to show your favorite contacts.
