Snapchat unveiled updates to its Live Stories feature in November. Previously, the Stories displayed a selection of snaps from a particular location—such as a festival, concert, sports match, or other event—with the images curated by Snapchat. That curation will continue, but now the new Story Explorer gives users the ability to see an event from different vantage points. By swiping up, users see multiple shots of the same real-life moments.

BidPal offers two options for mobile bidding at an event. The original system, which the company has offered since 2009, is run on a closed Wi-Fi network and attendees log in using their smartphone or an iPod Touch provided by BidPal. Last year the company also began offering a cellular–based system due to the increase in smartphone usage and improvement in cellular signals within venues. Later this year BidPal will offer a hybrid solution that provides both cellular and Wi-Fi access at one event. BidPal can be used for general donations as well as bidding on auction items, with instant “outbid” alerts, and pledges can be displayed on a leaderboard. Users can check out directly on their mobile device. Planners can also use BidPal’s event management functions, including single-ticket and table sales, donor thank-yous, and post-event reports that provide data such as which items had the most interest and when most bidding took place. Pricing is based on a combination of a booking fee and an event fee.
