Blogging – Instagram + Ads = Why?

I know why… Facebook. Okay, maybe I don’t, but I really think Facebook has a lot to do with it. I haven’t read anything on this yet because it’s 1 in the morning but I have seen people talk about it.

My thing is, because it’s has a feed like Tumblr does, I don’t think this will be all that bad. Only if it shows ads the way Tumblr does. Tumblr is a one column stream of media that shows ads in the one stream, so if you’re just scrolling you’re most likely gonna scroll right past it. But if, every now and then, there’s this fucking shit that pops up- NO. Don’t do that. THAT’S fucking annoying. And I think that’s what a lot of people might be fearing.

I think they might think that the way the ads will appearer will be something like how Pandora does there ads just without sound. That will suck because no body wants that. I feel like, because it’s on your mobile device and it’s a one column stream, that it will show their ads a lot like Tumblr shows their ads.

Ads suck, I know, but if they do it that way it’s a lot less annoying and you don’t have to pay attention to it, BUT you’re still viewing it so they still make money. And, I think, that’s how Tumblr does so well with their ads because it’s there… But it’s NOT there. You’re still scrolling, it doesn’t stop your from scrolling, you’re still viewing it WITHOUT REALLY VIEWING IT, and they still make money.

If Instagram did ads like that, I won’t be mad. I have nothing to be mad about because it’s not bothering me. So let’s hope that Instagram will show their ads like Tumblr does. Then again, the way Instagram is set up, I fell like that’s the only way they can do that.

Instagram is now Vinestagram

Today as I was on twitter, tweeting like normal people, I saw Instagram tweet first that they now have video features and then everyone else started tweeting about it too.

REALLY?! FUCKING REALLY?!

I think it’s a stupid ass feature they never needed! I don’t have a Vine today because I don’t like it.
Facebook did not need to put this on Instagram.

*hard sighs* Oh fucking well…

A Twitter wannabe?: Facebook’s doing it again

Hashtags, photos in comments, and now videos on Instagram.

I have to say, the Hashtag thing was GOING to happen. Everyone is using it and you know Facebook was going to do it. The photo posting in comments thing, after testing it out today I found myself very addicted to do just like the hashtags and the feature that you can post emoicons of how you feels.

But when you start giving Instagram the feature to make short videos, I can’t get behind that. Facebook, like it or not, is one of the most used and successful social networks to date and for Facebook to be coping another feature from Twitter is like the girl who had everything plus the perfect boyfriend (the Internet) but over time found out he was cheating on her with Twitter because not only did Twitter have a  personality but she has the boobs and butt that Facebook didn’t.

That’s how I see it.

Facebook saw that so many people are using Twitter’s Vine app and that; “maybe I can get my boyfriend back with I do the same thing!” So of right now, it is just being talked about, it has not happened YET. I do believe that this just might happen because it seems Facebook wants to be better Twitter.

BUT HERE’S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT, FACEBOOK: Add Gifs! Let the site/app be able to read gifs! That’s all we really want.

The Facebook Phone – Just Why?

Just wanna talk about this. Facebook had made a phone with HTC called ChaCha and Salsa but NOW they’re making a new phone with HTC called HTC First with an Facebook OS or launcher that’s going to be better. I don’t know about this.

The OS is going to be called Facebook Home and they’re going to release an launcher for Android, the app will also be called Facebook Home.

If I am right, it is an OS for the HTC phone but it could also just be a launcher for Android. I’m really want it to be both, to be honest. For a Facebook roleplayer , I want to really see what this phone can do and what it will have. I don’t want to get a phone that runs Facebook so bad that it makes the fucked up app seem better.

This can either be great for facebook lovers and rpers like ourselves. Or horribly, horribly bad. I really want to see for myself though.
