One such example was Alfred. Years ago, it was considered a staple among power users. But now, Spotlight has gotten smarter. It can find Wikipedia articles and YouTube videos on the web, retrieve weather reports and stock information and understand natural language. Is Alfred, the once king of search for Mac users, still necessary, or can Spotlight find pretty much everything you’d need at this point?

But the similarity is only in the visual nature of Friendsheet. The photo viewer does not borrow any of Pinterest’s mechanisms like pinning photos on image boards. I wish Facebook had thought of it themselves because the grid-style layout makes for a much better display and view experience....
