Trying to turn it into a verb (xim it) and a noun (add to the xim). Aggressive marketing.

My guess would be that we'll see more of these shared/sync'd experience apps in the future.

A phone is personal so experiencing the pictures on your phone makes it more personal.

What's wrong with that?

Once again Microsoft being pretty low-key with the fact that this is a Microsoft product just like they did with Sway. [1]

  * No mention in the title bar or above the fold.
  * First mention of Microsoft is in the footer.
  * iOS App Store and Google Play links are before the Window Phone Store.
  * Mockups include iOS looking device and Androidy Device (however the largest one might be a Windows Phone?)

[1] https://www.sway.com *Although they have now added this annoying Microsoft Toolbar dropdown-thingy which wasn't there on launch day. Interesting.

Didn't Google fight that, so that wouldn't get Kleenexed?

Not really, you just get a URL to send to your friends
