Another One Spark Creator that we were really excited about talking with was WeVue, and they did not disappoint. WeVue is a photo-sharing application built around events. The 'photo-sharing' description doesen't really do WeVue justice, however. It is much, much more than, say, Instagram or Flicker. WeVue is really unique in a couple of ways. [...]
