Twitter Should Have Bought Instagram

I was not very happy when Facebook bought Instagram because I wanted Twitter to have made the acquisition. Personally I just feel Twitter would do better a job with Instagram and keep it simple and integrate it into the social network. Facebook does not plan to make any changes to Instagram and make it similar to it’s social network. Facebook has said it wants Instagram remain how it is and not be effected in anyway.

I guess Facebook knows Instagram’s potential and do not want to lose all the users that Instagram has at the moment. Post your opinions on my video on YouTube or on this blog post.

People Changing my Mood!

I was in a really good mood today till someone on my Facebook left her chat on. That person is a good friend, think. When that person left her Facebook on someone started chatting to me and stated they were the profile users friend. Anyways I got judged before they even read any pages of my life. I got judged because I had an education, job and creative hobbies. Anyways below is the chat we had:

Facebook Friend: I mean like….whats your crack? (I.e what you all about e.g like and dislikes in gernal)

Me: oh k haha

Me: well finished uni in july..got a degree in business and marketing management. love marketing, creative stuff, swimming, music, tech, business stuff, art.

Facebook Friend: one. Didn;t ask for your CV two. Degree you do realise you meant as well have cut it out the back of a cereal box its worth that much soz to be harsh but I’m a bit of a big mouth.

Me: thanks for judging..

Facebook Friend: tahts what I do thats*

I’m a total keyboard warrior mind I’d be as sweet as pie if you met me in person haha

Me:well means alot to me and its a big reward for me cuz it paid off with the job i have. thats just ur perception..

k

Me: well u didnt be nice to me there

Me: i was just glad to tell u what i did and liked bt u made me feel bad abt what i’ve done in life

Facebook Friend: I also worked for student loans for 6 months and I fucking loath students with every inch of my body from speaking to them every day and they actually called me a fat bitch and black bitch so ya naa

Me: well its a minority of ppl.dnt mean everyone is like that. its like me judging people who i’ve never met just cuz of where they work or what they do in life.

i give ppl a chance before judging. bt it seemed u judged me before reading the book

—————————————————————————-

This spoilt my mood. What is it with people in Newcastle? Do they enjoy coming on Facebook to start a chat with me just so they can hurt my feelings. I hope these people who hurt me when I don’t target any individuals ever and bully them get what they deserve. I hope bad things happen to them and I CURSE them to suffer!

Twitter is Honest and Direct

Social Networking has changed the World and we understand that very well in 2011. Twitter was something which was not used by celeberities a few years ago but now they use it for many reasons, example industry exposure, reflection of their personality and etc.

Twitter has helped raise awareness for anything out there in this world or outside it. Trends on Twitter causes users to Tweet or Retweet worldwide and this helps others to be informed live. Media was the source for all the information when celeberity relationships were formed or broken but now Twitter is a place where the World can find out the latest news before it appears on any magazine, newspaper or even television. Twitter can even now be considered a social network which can damage relationships, example employee and employer, boyfriend/husband and girlfriend/wife and many other.

A social media tool for many who use Twitter and can even be used to achieve any goals you may have set. For example if you want to win a TV award you can tweet to your followers to vote with constant tweeting. It is how you use Twitter that creates your online perception and many people try to attract a lot of public attention, desperate is the word some people may suggest.

In the modern Twitterverse we usually see celeberities tweeting and craving for the publics attention. This has helped average people view the lives of celeberities and find out they are also normal human beings and they make mistakes as well. Many celeberities have made mistakes by tweeting something offensive or uploading a photo by mistake to all their followers.

There is much more to happen with Twitter in the centre of it and we can not wait for it.

Twitter Layout Twitch

Just last week Twitter decided to change its web layout. I do not mean layout as in the whole web page but the information that you could view from options such as Mentions and Retweets. The retweets option to view anyone who had retweeted any of your tweets was replaced with Activity where you could find out who your followers have started following recently. The mentions option had then the retweets list integrated into it which made it a little difficult to read instantly who had retweeted your tweets and who has mentioned you.

The changes were reverted just about Sunday/Monday and now everyone has the normal 2011 Twitter back on their screens. This seemed like a trial from Twitter to see if there were any bugs in this new integration which they may roll out. However it maybe possible that they decided it was not integrated properly and confused Twitter users when trying to see mentions and retweets quickly.

UPDATE:

Since posting this Twitter has again changed its options to ‘Mentions’ and ‘Activity’. What are they upto now? Users must be feeling confused when Twitter keeps going back and forth. Must be serious tweaks they are trying to make from experimenting it on the Twitter users first.

Facebook vs Google

Facebook vs Google

Google+ has attracted a lot of attention in it’s beta testing phase, 10million+ internet users have registered to the new social network. Basically Facebook thinks the new video chat feature will give the social network a competitive edge over Google+. This quick release from Facebook seems like a desperate attempt to attract and retain users, Facebook have become partners with Skype to help integrate a smooth video chat feature for it’s users.

Google in the other hand can be seen as the Mount Everest of  the World Wide Web furthermore Google has been providing a service long before Facebook arrived. Google now provides a variety of services to it’s users, services that ensure an effective and efficient day. For example Gmail, Calender and Documents are services provided to it’s users for free and help make life easy. These services are also integrated into modern devices such as mobiles, iPods and tablets to ensure life is easy while on the go.

Many mobile users may be seen using Facebook from afar away while waiting for a train but infact many users are using Google or Twitter for live information. Facebook only provides latest information on the friends you have added or the pages you ‘Like’, information is limited in this social network if you do not have many ‘Friends’ or pages that you ‘Like’.

Google has integrated its services very effectively and any Google+ user can then be a click away from GMail or the Google Search Engine. Facebook adding the video chat feature does not help the social network compete with Google+ because it has no email service or search engine. Facebook users instead have to leave their page and visit a search engine if they are to attain new informtion. Google+ has great potential and can encourage Facebook users to make the ‘Switch’, Google+ and Facebook is a battle which will only be won by developing smoother integration between search engines and social networks, Google+ is an example of “social engine networking“.
