After the collaboration of Instagram with Facebook, people witnessed many changes in their features. In the beginning of the month of June, there were only rumors that Facebook might be adding videos to Instagram. Much news has been saying about the speculation for some days. Yet, it is a gossip or a fact it’s hard to tell. Rumors are still on or it ended! Let’s explore.
With the introduction of the video to Instagram will be a direct tough compete to the Twitter’s video sharing service, Vine. The public release of Vine in January 2013 has grown significantly within the next few months.
The clues are everywhere that video will be the next step for the Instagram to adopt, who no doubt have more than 100 million users. Facebook prevented Vine from using their user-friendly features and thus Vine reverted to twitter.
Facebook protects its brand and in a similar way it is safeguarding the Instagram uploads from being posted directly onto Twitter. However, Instagram users still can share their photos on Twitter platform, but users have to hit the link. Directing the users back to the Instagram platform, users then finally will spend more time on the application. It thus helps in maintaining the Facebook and Instagram brands.
From another prospective, it will be strategic for the Facebook to release the Instagram video, as it will make it more cozy and comfortable to make the video ad units become more extrusive.
Just from the June 20, after the product announcement, Facebook sent snail mail invitations with the outline of a coffee mug. Just after the launch of the hashtag application on Facebook, the social network has made the blogging platform powerful through the Graph Search. Users of Vine are already aware of the fact that it is a source of real fun and it’s a shame as it shows just as a link on the Facebook.
Videos are not as common as a feature on the Facebook. However, with the launch of the video Instagram component, it is sure to encourage more people to capture short clips of the moments in their lives. You will also find some editing features as there are for the pictures on Instagram.
You will come across a plenty of other apps too. However, the fact is that, Facebook owns the Instagram with a wild popularity and the app will surely make it more successful than the third party competitors will.
In such a case what will happen to the apps like: Viddy, Cinemagram, Socialcam (which are tagged as the “Instagram for video” at one time or another). Well, they are not going to give compete to the Instagram and their brand new feature.
Well all the hoax ended on June 22 when Instagram officially announced that the video sharing services would grow in leaps and bounds. Moreover, to prove their words people 5 million videos to Instagram just in 24 hours on June 21. The embedding protocols of the Instagram are similar to YouTube’s. On clicking, the “share” button below a video gives you HTML code that you can copy and paste onto your website. Facebook assures that embedded photo or video appears with Instagram username and clicking on the link will divert the user to Instagram.com where they can discover more of your photos and videos. You can upload videos of 15 seconds in length, a hard try of Facebook to give a tough compete to twitter Vine. Surely it is giving the compete it promised. With 130 million active users, Instagram’s video sharing figures is going to rise like waves soon.
So upload your video on Instagram now and have a chilling experience unlike 6 seconds Vine videos…now shoot up to 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..11..12..13..14..15..SECONDS!!
