Buyers Remorse?
Do you think Zuckerberg will be suffering from it at the moment? Here we are several days after the announcement of the purchase of one of my favourite little apps, Instagram, by the corporate douche that is Fuck-book™.
In my short internet journey since the early 2000’s, I’ve seen several companies swallowed by larger ones. The list goes something like this:-
- Flickr/Yahoo
- Posterous/Twitter
- Tumblr [changed TOS] ok technically not a takeover, but is there a possibility it will change hands at some point in the future, & only fool would say it can NEVER happen.
I’ve also seen the only viable alternative to Fuck-book™ barely gain legs thanks to another monolith corporation, can I say Tyrell-like? Starting their own, and yes I’m talking about Diaspora and Google+.
How will Facebook make changes, if so, and when, and by how much, are the questions running through most folks minds, well by most I mean mine?
Only time will tell. One thing is for sure, the reason I enjoyed Instagram so much was because of the minimal interface, the ease of sharing and the spontaneity, I doubt Facebook could or would actually take that away?
I hope not. [While we’re at it experience instagram in a whole new way]

Google + FTW?
I have yet to receive an invite, but am waiting eagerly for it, this feature alone has me wanting “switch”.
“Instantly upload photos and videos to the cloud, but decide later how to share them Google+ mobile apps (coming soon), will have an auto-upload feature so that any photo or video you take on your phone using the app (rather than the phone’s built-in camera) will automatically be uploaded to your account, ready to share. The content doesn’t go public right away, so you can decide later who will get to see it. The next time you log into Google from your desktop, a number in the status bar will show how many new uploads you have on deck, ready to share. Uploading photos and videos this way removes the worry of making an embarrassing photo public to every person you’re connected to (or in Facebook, anyone who can see your full profile). Currently, photos and videos in Google+ stay ready in the queue for only eight hours after upload.”
