He CEO Of Meta seems to have changed course and is back to focusing on apps. After a test in the United States, the new function will be available instagram. It is broadcast channels, a one-to-many communication function.
Indeed, the creator will be able to interact with his followers via public outings, as is already possible on Telegram. Subscribers can’t respond via text, but respond via emojis and participate in polls. Content creators will be able to create the channel in a very simple way, by sending the first message from the inbox instagramall subscribers will see a notification that allows them to subscribe to the channel.
There’s also the option to leave or mute the channel at any time and choose between notifications, selecting “all”, “some” or “none”. Creators will also be able to advertise the channel through stickers in the stories of instagram or only allow subscribers to subscribe to the channel. In short, it seems that all social networks are moving more and more towards one-to-many communication by creators, to facilitate the time and work of Instagrammers.
instagram is an application that needs no introduction, widely used by influencers and not, the change of course of Zuckerberg it’s just driven by wanting to keep up with other widely used apps, such as the ones mentioned above Telegramwhich has a function similar to broadcast channels currently being tested in the United States.
Instagram and applications, the future of Meta
While some have interpreted this announcement as a lack of interest on the part of CEO Of Meta towards the Metavers, I do not entirely agree. The competition is making great strides in the development of AIs, although some behave strangely, such as ChatGPT are Binggoing through a loop worthy of Asimov’s best work if you ask her if she considers herself a sentient being or not, also showing some bugs, one user in an answer put 2023 before 2022 in chronological order.
It is a technology designed to simplify the use of a search engine, or any application. The market therefore remains interested in the software and the Metaverse of Zuckerberg it sounds like an almost childish idea, a whim of a creative mind with lots of money at its disposal.
However, with the spread of VR, also due to their use in games, the future probably holds an expansion of the market in this direction, and therefore also a change in social networks and applications, at least those of Metawhich will “transcend” into fully metaphysical form via the Metaverse.
These are obviously speculations and personal considerations, it seems that in any case, for now, the market remains with its feet on the ground, although it is presented to the public, as always, with dreamy prospects of technological futures in which we will live as gods immersed in the Ambrosia binary code. The fact is that it is the demand that makes the market, and if the demand remains on the Apps, the market evolves, or updates in this case, in this direction.
