Trouble For Snapchat Again, As Facebook Tests ‘Stories’, A Snapchat Clone.

Facebook seems to want to penalize Snapchat for refusing to sell to the former.

After introducing the ‘stories’ feature, a feature exclusive to Snapchat on their subsidiary, Instagram, Facebook Inc. doesn’t seem to have had enough of the cyber business bully.

On 25th of January, 2017, Facebook launched Facebook Stories in Ireland on iOS and Android, planning to bring it to more countries in the coming months. “The feature lets you share ephemeral photos and videos in a slideshow that disappears 24 hours later. The little circles to watch friends’ Facebook Stories appear in its main app above the feed so you can’t miss them”, according to Josh Costine of TechCrunch.

Facebook is by far the largest social network, in terms of numbers and everything.

The company tells TechCrunch:

“Facebook has long been the place to share with friends and family, but the way that people share is changing in significant ways. The way people share today is different to five or even two years ago — it’s much more visual, with more photos and videos than ever before. We want to make it fast and fun for people to share creative and expressive photos and videos with whoever they want, whenever they want.”

As to whether Facebook Stories will be popular than Snapchat stories isn’t the debate here, because we are aware of Facebook’s huge numbers. The unanswered question is; how will this work for desktop users?

We keep our fingers crossed, as always. As the battle for cyber world supremacy unravels.
