The founder of photo sharing app admits that “all the credit” is Snapchat.
The photo-sharing app Instagram announced Tuesday that launched a new feature, if you’re using Snapchat will sound familiar.
it’s “Stories” , photos and videos that will serve as a daily update of what is doing each user and disappear within 24 hours.
it is the same as They make the “Stories” Snapchat. And, like these, Instagram also include the ability to add graphics, letters and colors strokes to each image.
If you sound like an imitation shamelessly so. The own CEO of Instagram, Kevin Systrom, told a journalist specialized site TechCrunch: “Totally, they deserve all the credit ”
“When you’re innovative, it’s amazing. Systrom- said. Just as Instagram deserves all the credit for bringing the filters (for photos). This is not about who invented something, it is a format and how you take it to a network and give your own touch “.
the move Instagram seems part of a strategy of Facebook, which owns the app, to occupy the most of the ‘time cell’ of its members.
On the one hand, the company Mark Zuckerberg launched the live streaming videos Facebook Live, direct competition from Periscope, owned by Twitter. Now, try to steal Snapchat niche disposable images, those funny or flashy moments that people post to soon forget about them.
It is an important separation of the original spirit of Instagram, an application in many people show carefully selected and edited images.
the reaction of the users of Instagram was not enthusiastic. Although many gave “like” the article where the company announced the change, who commented did to regret such a radical change.
“If I wanted to use Snapchat, I would Snapchat downloaded, “said one user. “Snapchat is so different, oh God,” someone scoffed. “Bring back the chronological order, nobody wants Stories” said someone else. “I see, Instagram ran out of current ideas,” added another.
The reaction was equally harsh on Twitter, where many users complained of “innovation”.
