  • Publication number: 20150269393
    Abstract: The invention is directed to improved systems, methods, and media for sharing digital content through social media. More particularly, the invention provides for sharing digital content using fragments. In some embodiments, two users share digital content with one other, where each digital content being shared is obscured and overlaid by fragments. Each user will take a turn to select a fragment to be revealed from the digital content being shared, and both users continue revealing fragments until all fragments are revealed. The revealed digital content can be further updated from an obscured format to an unobscured format. The revealed digital content can be available for both users to view for a predetermined period before it is deleted or recalled.
