Nerd Stalker was invited to a launch of a new Social Photo Sharing App called Momentage at the Jones  in San Francisco. A really nice feature is that you can create a collage of pictures and do a voice over on top of it to create a story to give your pictures more context. This is great for creatives who want to tell a story about their artwork. We interviewed Gil Padia , the CMO of Momentage, and discussed the uniqueness in the market. Check out the video below.
