Like Snapchat, there are various of ways to edit and customize your posts - as noted in our previous post on Messenger Day, the filters and overlays available are designed to prompt users on what to share with friends to evoke response, so there are things like 'Lets go to the movies' and expressions of how you feel. My model for today is Leia Organa from Alderaan See that black header at the top? That's because Messenger Day is layered beneath the main screen - you swipe down and you're on the Messenger Day composition screen, which looks like this: I'll go through how it works.įirst off, when you open Messenger, the home screen presentation is clearly different. On this front, Facebook started testing out Messenger Day in Poland earlier this month, a new social storytelling option built into the Messenger experience.Īnd now it's available in Australia - which means I get to use it. Facebook invented the news feed, for example, which is now used by most platforms, Twitter was the originator of hashtags and As such, social storytelling tools, which are now available, in some form, on Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Twitter (through user-generated Moments), are just another expansion of social innovation.Īnd given their popularity, you can expect to see more of them.
In those initial interviews, Systrom explained that while Instagram Stories is a copy of Snapchat's device, it's more about innovation and utilizing social tools in new ways. Given the prevalence of such tools now, it makes more sense to label them 'social storytelling' features, as opposed to 'Snapchat clones', but obviously that's where the inspiration comes from - as noted by Instagram chief Kevin Systrom on the launch of Instagram Stories:
This is how Matrix democratises control over communication.īy default, Matrix uses simple HTTPS+JSON APIs as its baseline transport, but also embraces more sophisticated transports such as WebSockets or ultra-low-bandwidth Matrix via CoAP+Noise.Facebook's new 'Messenger Day' feature is a simple social storytelling device that makes it easy to create and share longer form pieces within Messenger. This means that every server has total self-sovereignty over its users data - and anyone can choose or run their own server and participate in the wider Matrix network. Even if your server goes offline, the conversation can continue uninterrupted elsewhere until it returns. There is no single point of control or failure in a Matrix conversation which spans multiple servers: the act of communication with someone elsewhere in Matrix shares ownership of the conversation equally with them. When you send a message in Matrix, it is replicated over all the servers whose users are participating in a given conversation - similarly to how commits are replicated between Git repositories. Matrix is really a decentralised conversation store rather than a messaging protocol.
