Facebook is coming out with something new. Right on the heels of bringing forth a great change to its “Like” button, Facebook is back in the news with another introduction: the Live feature. With this new feature comes the ability to live stream a video across Facebook which can be seen by all your friends.
Of all the things that Facebook’s billion+ users have been requesting, arguing, clamouring and signing petitions for, nothing is more prevalent and has gained more support than their cries to include a “Dislike’ button. And to a point, it’s with good reason. If, for example, a friend was to post something tragic on their wall, “liking” it doesn’t really seem like an appropriate response.
Last year, Facebook’s live streaming was allowed only for popular faces but this has drastically changed now. Anyone with an iPhone can broadcast live videos through Facebook’s new live streaming feature.
Though this feature is implemented for US iPhone users currently, Facebook live streaming is expected to reach the rest of the world within a short while.
The world is moving faster than ever. Technology gets outdated in no time, attention spans plummet and brands compete with each other to gain a strong online presence. Videos on Facebook enjoy a whopping 100 million hours of viewership every day and each moment can make a big difference for advertisers. Facebook video ads can take your business to success and add value to your brand.
Many thousands of start-ups and home-grown businesses get on to Facebook everyday in a bid to achieve their business goals.
As we move towards 2016, it is an excellent time to report the status of all social media networks, users and figures for the year ahead. These facts pave the way for the new year, being the determining factor in our decision making process on key social platforms.
