Acum cateva saptamani cei de la Facebook au hotarat sa plateasca 1 miliard de dolari pe Instagram, una dintre cele mai populare retele sociale dedicate pasionatilor de fotografie si nu numai. La WWDC 2012 am putea vedea noua retea sociala si ea va functiona desigur prin intermediul ecosistemului iCloud. Utilizatorii vor putea publica poze pe profile care vor fi cel mai probabil publice, iar altii le vor putea vota pozele si le vor putea comenta, deci teoretic vorbim despre ceva asemanator cu ceea ce ofera Instagram, Flickr, Facebook, etc.
The new features, expected to be announced at Apple’s world-wide developer conference beginning June 11, will allow iCloud users to share sets of photos with other iCloud users and to comment on them, these people said. Currently, users can only store one set of photos in iCloud through a feature called Photo Stream, which is designed to sync those photos to other Apple devices, not share them.
Apple is also working on a new feature that will allow iCloud users to sync their personal videos via iCloud, these people said, as well as allow users to access “Notes” and “Reminders”—two of its apps for jotting down quick thoughts—through iCloud.com. Currently, those items have to be accessed via apps for those features.
Avand in vedere ca 125 de milioane de utilizatori folosesc iCloud, aceasta retea sociala va deveni probabil extrem de popular in extrem de scurt timp si miliardul de dolari cheltuit de Facebook s-ar putea dovedi a fi doar un exces de zel facut la momentul nepotrivit. Mai multe despre acest serviciu vom afla cu siguranta in saptamanile urmatoare si ramane de vazut cata lume va parasi celelalte retele sociale de fotografie in favoarea sa.
