a crazy positive review for the app

only recently dethroned as the King of
Twitter by the Princess of Pop, Katy
Perry.

10. What’s app with Bieber’s
app?
Selfies — photos you shoot of yourself, often with
the front-facing camera. That's what you do on
Shots of Me. Take selfies. Share selfies to the app's
Instagram-style internal social network or to
Twitter (with Instagram sharing coming soon).
Like Selfies from other people. The premise is that
simple, but it hides the amount of work and detail
that went into Shots of Me.

A source speaking to VALLEYWAG, said:
128 free is about 10k downloads in the US only. Outside top 300 is probably 3-4k.
