Are you implying this isn't a real app that will be available soon? I like to think I'm pretty good at "getting" hoaxes, and I'd definitely guess that this is "a real thing". (Though I wouldn't be shocked if it weren't...) Edit: OK it looks like consensus is that this is satire. I still think it's kind of a neat idea, I admit it…

Oh don't you start! "At Reactions, we offer you no way to save your pictures. If you want to save them, you have to share them. After a reaction is captured, you have 3 seconds to hit the unlabeled cancel button, or else your photo is automatically shared with all your Facebook friends."

It is a real app, I've used it. It was created at a recent hackathon called TartanHacks at Carnegie Mellon University. That doesn't change the fact that its satire, though!

Silly kids with no technical experience trying to produce apps. If jailbreaking the iPhone were left up to kids like this we'd all be living in Apple's walled garden.
