Mirosoft Xim: A new app that lets you temporarily share photos on your phone with others

Sharing photos with your friends has now become simpler and more secure with Microsoft's new Xim app. With this new photo-sharing app, built by Microsoft Research's FUSE labs, you can make others see photos on your phone without having to actually pass your phone around.

All you have to do is to download the app, choose photos you want others to see, and share with them. The photos will appear synchronously on everyone's devices even if others don't have the app. The same photos (or say, Xims created by you) will expire after a little while. In other words, people you have shared photos with will not have access to your photos after a while.
This whole concept makes the entire photo-viewing experience in a group more enjoyable as your friends can view photos from the comfort of their own seat and screen rather than waiting turns or huddling around one phone.
