Our ultra-fast Daily: Three takes on new products. Yesterday’s top ten launches. That’s it.

Amazon just launched a Skype competitor! 👀
In its latest quest for world domination, Amazon just launched a video conferencing app that's built on top of AWS!

Amazon Chime is available on Mac, PC, Android, and iOS right out of the gate, and goes into a crowded space that includes Skype, Hangouts, and startups like Zoom (which raised $100M from Sequoia in January).

Amazon says they built Chime to solve the biggest recurring pain-point of their (AWS) enterprise customers: video conferencing. So, they made Chime drop-dead easy to use for calls, chats, group conferences, screen shares, and more.
Standing desks for everyone! 🙏
Standing Desks: You've seen people use them, thought of getting one, maybe you use one. We've seen a lot of these chair-less innovations on Product Hunt, including a standing desk for kids, a $299 electric adjustable table with a memory pad, and a (very popular) $25 foldable desk.

Check out the full collection of standing desks on Product Hunt. 🚶🐱

Shinder is the new Tinder 😻
A hot new Tinder competitor just launched! It's called Shinder, and it's like Tinder, but there's only one guy available to date (who happens to be the creator).

Building your own personal Tinder is just one way of getting a date for Valentines Day. You do have alternatives beyond the standard Bumble, The League, OkCupid, and MySpace.

Double: The Tinder for double dates
• 3nder: The Tinder for threesomes
Nibbly: The Tinder for food
Hater: The Tinder for people with dissimilar interests
• Squad: The Tinder for groups of friends

Or just explore the Tinder for X collection.
Flipboard’s new app, now with 100M monthly users 👀
Flipboard first launched in 2010 as one of the first “gorgeous” mobile experiences on the iPhone. It came out with a boom and everyone in tech downloaded it. 6+ years later, these same people ask, “Who still uses Flipboard?”

Answer: 100 million people every month.

Flipboard is one of the largest social networks yet it’s rarely part of the conversation in tech… except for today. CEO, Mike McCue, just introduced the fourth generation of the curation platform, now with Smart Magazines and Video. Check it out. 👀

Snapchat's IPO game plan 👻🤑
Snapchat's highly anticipating IPO filing is happening this week, and the roadshow is expected to be a spectacle. Rumors of a special lens that turns Evan Spiegel's head into Mark Zuckerberg's may be used in front of Wall Street bankers.

If the ghost's big moment is anything like Facechat's historic IPO, it will be a success. Although, it's not getting any easier with Snapbook and Instachat's relentless Stories duplication.

But there's good news! Snapchat just launched the answer to its most requested feature, while Spectacles are being spotted everywhere (other than SF).
