The largest issue with search is that we learned about it when the web was young, when the universe was ‘complete’ – the entire web was searchable! Now our digital lives are utterly fractured – in apps, in walled gardens like Facebook, across clunky interfaces like those in automobiles or Comcast cable boxes. John Battelle
One of the things that’s making ArcGIS come alive is apps. Apps are opening up the ArcGIS platform, making it available to everybody in your organization as well as to the public. Jack Dangermond

We’ve all been inundated with so many ingenious, must-have, time-saving apps and tools that we really don’t have a second left to spare. Ryan Holmes
In the age of social media and dating apps, so many people are able to hide behind their Instagram page or their Raya page or Facebook. And it’s like, ‘Let’s set something up! I want to meet face-to-face.’ And ‘Take Me’ was about, ‘Are you going to take me out? Do I have to be the first person to make the move?’ AJ Michalka

Mark Zuckerberg

Rana el Kaliouby

If you’re building a consumer app, you’re necessarily coupled to the intrinsic time cycle of human fashion in that it’s a fashion-driven space, and we see that in the cycle of these various apps. I think for infrastructure that that just naturally tends to play out over a longer time horizon. Patrick Collison

What we know is smartphones are everywhere and they are rich in data. What we know is that there are apps once downloaded by the consumer that will also in turn download the consumers’ contact book. Most consumers don’t want that to happen and don’t know it’s happening. Kamala Harris
On Apple’s special store for the Chinese market, apps related to the Dalai Lama are censored, as is one containing information about the exiled Uighur dissident leader Rebiya Kadeer. Apple similarly censors apps for iPads sold in China. Rebecca MacKinnon

I have used dating apps a couple of times in the past and met people, but it is a difficult thing because you’re meeting someone who you really don’t know and you have no link to. I have friends who have had great relationships after meeting on Tinder or Bumble, so I’d never say never, but it hasn’t worked for me. Georgina Campbell
While Google has given away pretty much everything it has to offer – from search and maps to email and apps – this has always been part of its greater revenue model: the pennies per placement it gets for seeding the entire Google universe of search and services with ever more targeted advertising.

The average small-business owner uses 18 apps to run their business every day, and if those applications don’t allow data to flow seamlessly and they don’t integrate, it’s going to become a point of friction. It’s going to prevent the small business from being successful. Brad D. Smith

Marco Arment
The growing role of enterprise social media, plus the growing budgets and authority of CMOs entrusted with choosing the best platforms, translates into an exciting future for apps that harness social potential for large companies. Ryan Holmes

In the area of field apps, Collector for ArcGIS is great, but where do you go? There’s a navigator app. And then what do you do when you get there? There’s a workforce app. So all of these apps work hand-in-hand to support field workers. Jack Dangermond

In the future we might not prescribe drugs all the time – we might prescribe apps. Daniel Kraft
Search is now more than a web destination and a few words plugged into a box. Search is a mode, a method of interaction with the physical and virtual worlds. What is Siri but search?

I use a lot of the Web 2.0 apps that I’ve seen out there, and I think there is incredible work going on there. Phil Schiller

The launch of Google+ apps sends a powerful signal – the personalized web has begun. What this means is that the way information is structured and accessed will turn on the individual, or rather their personal profile which is a composite of all the data collected on the basis of what they have searched for and shared. Simon Mainwaring
We’re very focused on making News Feed really good, making our photos experience really good, making messaging really good, and creating great location apps.

Using the correct apps can completely change how your photos look. It’s really exciting because once you’ve already taken a good photo, it can become 10 times better if you use the right combination of apps. My favorites are VSCO Cam, Afterlight, Facetune and SKRWT. Connor Franta
