Bieber-funded Shots of Me is the most selfie-centered social network

Shots of Me — the selfie-sharing app and social network created by RockLive, aimed at teenagers, and partially funded by Justin Bieber — is now available on iOS devices. The result is a wall of lower quality images than found on competitors such as Instagram, but in an interview with TechCrunch, RockLive's CEO John Shahidi suggested the content of selfies was intrinsically more interesting than "looking at coffee or salad," making up for the dip in fine detail. John Shahidi said that major investor Justin Bieber was particularly attracted to a social network without comments, seeing it as a solution to the problem of cyberbullying. John Shahidi told TechCrunch that he and his team realized they "knew how to market to high school girls" and decided to "build something even bigger." Bieber's visible support for the app is a vast bonus, both in leading the $1.1 million investment in Shots of Me, and in the user-base he can bring to the network.
