Five Apps to Watch Out in the New Year 2015

Uber, Facebook, Instagram - sure, they've been all the rage, but as 2014 winds down we're all ready for something fresh. From ride-hailing to photo sharing, here are a few up-and coming apps and startups to watch in 2015. Which will be the breakout hit of the new year?

Tell a story
Instagram, which is owned by the Facebook Inc., now has 300 million users - more than the Twitter. Scrolling through its snapshot feeds gives users a quick glimpse into the lives of friends and strangers.  Its simplicity is part of its appeal. But what if you want to tell a longer story?

Enter Storehouse, a mobile app that promises to let you share "your stories, as they happen." Instead of sharing one-off photos, Storehouse lets users combine photos, videos and words to share anything from a detailed recipe, to travel memories or a first-person documentary on the Yakuza. Storehouse was founded by Mark Kawano, who previously worked at Apple as a User Experience Evangelist, helping developers design iOS and Mac apps.
