Apple announced that it is rolling out a new category in the App Store just for users who enjoy taking and sharing photos of themselves. The Sharing Selfies section in the App Store brings together apps such as Snapchat, Picr and Frontback, which allow users to take, edit and share informal self-portraits. Named by Oxford English Dictionaries as the Word of the Year in 2013, the selfie was recently in the news following the 2014 Oscars, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres. A selfie snapped by the TV presenter featuring Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep among others was retweeted a record three million times.
