It's easy to share UV posts out to the world!

Fun fact! 

In the editor, tap on the first cell in a draft to reveal the "Select All" option to mass edit the headline, caption and location. You can also save to your device, merge into a movie, or move it all to another draft.

Excerpted Betabeat interview with UV founder Neil Voss

So why is it the right time for Ultravisual to take off?

It’s the right idea for where people are right now. Instagram is taking off, and that’s creating a foundation for people to communicate visually, but there’s more critical thinking ahead. People are going toward broader, global visual communication.

So instead of expressing ourselves directly, with posts, tweets and text, we’re using images and videos?

Yes, and we’re in an early stage. Everybody is doing the obvious thing: if you hand someone who’s never communicated visually before a phone, and said, “Tell me something about yourself using a photo,” they’d point the camera at themselves and take a selfie. Eventually, they’ll want to communicate something deeper.

So the selfie is a sort of Visual Communication 1.0?

It’s a great way to say I’m in a bad mood, look at my messed up hair, whatever the story is. But you can take people that are doing that — especially younger people — and inspire them by putting them next to others who can teach them to create design experiments. To draw someone out of being a visual thinker into being a budding designer.

Ultravisual collections are like collaborative Tumblrs, centered around common themes, with slightly less porn.

Of course, Tumblr, Instagram and Pinterest are developing users’ aesthetic pallets. How is Ultravisual the next step?

We’ll inspire you by putting you around people who have similar interests, and what they’re doing to express themselves. It’s not about the merits of your existing social graph, it’s what are you interested in. Collaborate on those things, and then you’re connected to the world.

Did you know? 

The headline color of your UV post is determined by the strongest color in the image or video. If you use a filter from another app or a UV Look, the color of your post's headline may change as well.

Find and follow Collections that inspire you

We love discovering the new posts and Collections that are created every day. To see more frequent and relevant posts in your feed, follow Collections that resonate with your interests.

When you follow a Collection, you'll see new posts from that Collection in your feed.  When you follow people, you'll receive notifications of their activity but not their posts. Following people is a great way to discover newly-created Collections.

You can keep track of the Collections you follow by swiping left from the feed.
