WTF? Wickr goes cat crazy to keep photos under cover

Secure messaging app introduces new feature to allow iOS users to display pictures on Facebook without giving up their rights.

If you start seeing multiple pictures of cute kittens on friends’ Facebook pages, it may not mean they have suddenly become an ailurophile.

Wickr, the secure messaging company, has launched a new feature that allows users on Apple devices to share pictures with friends that will self-destruct after 24 hours.

What sets WTF - Wickr Timed Feed - apart is the ability to allow selected users of Facebook to click through to those pictures via Wickr. Any users who have not been approved will instead see pictures of kittens.

Makes the half inch of snow we had this morning look pretty measly - and the 2 deg "feels like 0".

Brrrrr.  :unsure:
