Ben Thompson: This, ultimately, is why yesterday’s keynote was so disappointing. Last year, before Facebook realized it could just leverage its network to squash Snap, Mark Zuckerberg spent most of his presentation laying out a long-term vision for all the areas in which Facebook wanted to innovate. This year couldn’t have been more different: there […]

La fotocamera dell’iPhone non serve solo a creare memorie
People wonder why their daughter is taking 10,000 photos a day. What they don’t realize is that she isn’t preserving images. She’s talking. It’s not about an accumulation of photos defining who you are. It’s about instant expression and who you are right now. Internet-connected photography is really a reinvention of the camera. And what it does is […]

Il social network che dimentica
Scrive il New York Times, riguardo a Snapchat: If we are to believe the theories about how people want to communicate nowadays — largely through anesthetized, hypermediated and impersonal exchanges — Snapchat’s recent surge in popularity makes little sense. […] Its entire aesthetic flies in the face of how most people behave on Facebook, Instagram and […]

You thought you understood how it looked too. Your friend’s face, fullscreen, front and center. Your face, smaller, off in the corner. (You […]
A cosa serve Snapchat
Bloomberg, in un articolo titolato “Come Snapchat ha costruito un business confondendo gli adulti“: The company says users watch roughly 8 billion videos on its platform each day, about the same number as Facebook, which has 10 times as many users as Snapchat. On a given day, according to Nielsen, 41 percent of adults in […]
Come usano Snapchat i teenagers
Ben Rosen, di BuzzFeed, ha preso sua sorella di 13 anni e l’ha osservata utilizzare Snapchat: ME: Tell me what your day is like on Snapchat. BROOKE: When I wake up, I have about 40 snaps from friends. I just roll through and respond to them. ME: How do you respond? Like, “haha good one, […]
Snapchat 101
Un paio di giorni fa ho riaperto Snapchat dopo mesi di abbandono — l’avevo installata, e poi mi ero bloccato: per l’UI complicata, per la difficoltà nel trovare persone da seguire, e semplicemente perché non avevo capito che scopo avesse. Sono tuttora confuso, ma il recente video per il Washington Post di Joanna Stern, in cui Joanna spiega Snapchat […]
