Facebook Snapchat-like Feature Soon to Win Users Hearts

I am not familiar with this app called Snapchat but after I checked it out, I see the reason why Facebook is setting gears in motion to create the same for their users.

What is Snapchat?

Snapchat is a photo-messaging service that allows users to send photos that is set to self-destruct after a specific period, say 1-2 minutes.

You might ask, what is the point of taking a picture and sending it to someone only to destroy it right after?

Apparently, these photos are not taken from a reunion, a church service or anything that includes a common courtesy for decency.

In fact, the practice of using Snapchat is often referred to as “Sexting,” as users commonly use the service to exchange nude photos of each other. If you were bold enough for a fleeting moment and shared a photo of yourself unclothed, would you like Snapchat to archive it for future use? No way!

Facebook and Photos

With the way photos are overflowing on our Facebook archive, it is plain to see where Facebook is heading with this plan of a photo-messaging self-destructing service. Not that Facebook is going into the sexy and shady side of the business (if you know what I mean) but my guess is that Facebook is trying to steal Snapchat users and make them prefer the social network to it.

Think of it, if Snapchat users know about Facebook rolling out the same feature and with their friends all on the site, they will no doubt jump ship in a matter of seconds, leaving Snapchat bereft of users.

The day that this photo-messaging service rolls out will be the doomsday for Snapchat. It seems like Facebook is extending its arms trying to usurp every working and successful app service it can get its hands on.

Will you use this feature once it is available on Facebook? Or do you find this Snapchat-like photo-messaging service disturbing?

BRM POV: Twitter Releases Own Instagram-like Photo Editing Features

Yesterday I tackled about the somewhat strained relationship of two great networks patronized by many netizens (internet citizens).

Let’s have a little recap: Instagram just pissed off Twitter by suddenly disabling photo sharing integration with Twitter cards.  Yep. Because of that, people have to go through Instagram to see the photos shared on

Twitter since all they will see on the micro-blog is either a cropped photo or a link.

Instagram is a bit of a meanie by suddenly pulling that stunt.

Well, news is out! Twitter is launching own photo filters that are Instagram-like. In fact, Twitter has introduced this feature today. See, the rumor is true; the site is actually cooking up something.

This makes me think that perhaps Instagram got wind of their plans so they took the first drastic step of challenging Twitter.

Check out this YouTube video to see what I mean.

Buy Real Marketing likes the fact that Twitter is holding their own with all this stuff. I am not really a fan of Instagram. I can’t really understand the big deal about this Instagram and photo filters. It’s not as if you can’t find photo filter features around the web.

I apologize if I offended anyone with this. Maybe you can help me understand the merit of Instagram compared to other applications having the same feature.

Anyway, if you don’t want to get in the middle of this photo crossfire, perhaps you can either leave Instagram or Twitter and settle where you are most comfortable at.
