Sequoia invests $100M into this video app 💰🎥
Video is so hot right now. Facebook continues to double down on the moving images format. All the teens are using Houseparty. Even Slack is doing it.
This morning, Sequoia Capital, the firm that invested in Apple, Google, PayPal, Stripe, and a few other tiny companies, announced their $100 million investment in this under-the-radar video chat app.
It's an app we use and love at Product Hunt, perfect for large distributed teams. Try it. 🌎

Must-download apps for your Mac 🍎
Other than the usual suspects of Chrome, Dropbox, Spotify, and your pick of non-Apple made email client, what are the first apps you download when setting up your new Mac?
We tweeted this question and found some great under the radar apps. A few interesting trends also came about...
1) Mac users LOVE menu bar apps! A lot of the responses mentioned Caffeine, Alfred, and f.lux.
2) macOS really needs to come with a built-in windows organizer. Popular apps include: Spectacle, Magnet, and BetterSnap.
3) The ubiquity of Slack means that Slack-like :emoji: commands are now essential, in every app. Rocket does just that.
4) Use a password manager! It should be one of the first apps you download (1Password was mentioned a lot).
5) Download this app last.

Alexa conquered CES this year. Amazon's operating system for the home will be in appliances, adorable robots, and even cars in 2017. Voice may be the dominate way we interact with our devices over the coming years, and Amazon is leading (and actively taking an open approach to grow the ecosystem).
In other news, the cars of the future will be lit (literally). Faraday Future showed off the fastest electric car in the world, while Toyota may have watched one-too many Sci-Fi movies.
Other than Alexa, the biggest trend at CES has to be smart everything. A smart trashcan, stove, hairbrush, toothbrush, men's underwear, energy monitor are just a few.
