It is the first time that Facebook copy the ideas of others in order to ensure your network social remain as the main digital meeting place.
In recent years, Facebook also adopted the hashtag, Twitter technique to mark major events and topics of conversation, and cloned a registration option in specific locations that was popularized by Foursquare.
In another act of mimicry, Facebook will introduce another tool called “Collage”, which automatically packaged pictures and video taken in the same place or at the same event in a slideshow. The concept reflects a tool that Google introduced its social network Plus a few years ago and that matter to your Photo application six months ago.
Initially the Collage option will be available in the Facebook application for iPhone before expanding a version for Android phones early next year.
Facebook is promoting live video and Collage as a breakthrough in their attempt to bring users even though they may be located thousands of kilometers away. The idea is to allow people to feel like they’re at the beach on vacation in Hawaii, in the same kitchen as they test a new recipe, in the same room opening Christmas gifts or in the same row of seats singing together for a concert of their favorite band.
Finally, the CEO of Facebook , Mark Zuckerberg hopes to implement virtual reality technology the company acquired last year in a purchase of Oculus 2,000 million to transform the video into an even more realistic game.
The live video option could also create legal headaches for Facebook and owners copyright, based on what has happened with Periscope. That’s because some people have used to share live video lapses movies and sporting events payment are protected by copyright. The practice has forced the owners of the copyright to monitor Periscope to find violations of their rights and notify Twitter so they can block or delete the videos.
