First, thanks to Erich Wood, creator of Jagimo!, for stopping by AppyHour.tv's private bar for a quick chat about what exactly Jagimo is and does. I know the AppyHour staff have had a blast jagimo-ing around!

Asinine Poetry app developer Erich Wood is working on an app that has a lot of Chatroulette-esque tendencies as far as the random people part, but "flings" photos instead of video to the socialsphere. Jagimo! The Social Mashup app is set to launch at the end of June and Wood's idea seems to be right on queue for the evolution of photo apps.

Instagram does a really great job of sharing hipster-filtered photos with friends and random people, but I think where Jagimo's potential could help it become a breakout app is its ability to take random photos and their captions and through a "handy translation feature" provide an instantaneous easy-to-read caption that the person who receives that random picture could add to and "fling" again. Tell a story through pictures or make funny captions, Jagimo aims to help you create spontaneous mashups with random people from around the world.

I'm definitely looking forward to this app and I'm sure I won't be the only one. Video preview after the jump.

App description:
Jagimo! is the mobile social network that plays like a game. Sharing ideas and photos has never been so fun as you create spontaneous mashups with random people from around the world.

Toss a jagimo—random people catch it and add their own ideas and photos. Catch a jagimo—you have five minutes to retoss. Race against time trying to be as clever and creative as you can.

Jump in—you don't need friends or followers to enjoy Jagimo! And who you follow, or who follows you, is private. Meet new people from around the world. Translate international responses into your own language.

What do you think? Will you be downloading Jagimo! The Social Mashup app?
