Apparently, Facebook has another win in hand. Just launched the functionality of video capture with Instagram , five million videos uploaded to the platform. The ball is in the field of Vine. Will you allow the pioneer of social microvídeos rob him the crown?
Reports of Instagram announced that, at peak of activity on the first day of service, up to 40 hours of video were uploaded every minute. This simple statistic to estimate the tremendous success of Facebook with new functionality in their product.
Now the question is: what does this mean? Well, you must first understand that it is natural that there is an initial peak in Instagram video uploads, and this is so for several reasons. First, it is a new feature that improves a service in itself is already very popular, and is regularly used by many people.
Second, launch day "coincided" with the day the Miami Heat faced the San Antonio Spurs for the NBA title, and social networking activity was much higher than normal.
Thirdly, the number of users of Instagram is ten times greater than the one Vine, the simple numbers give advantage to the product of Facebook. Sure, if the trend continues, and I came out, I'd be worried.
The simple truth is that at this time we do not have enough information to make an accurate forecast, and also need to wait to know what l new features that came as promised for their service just a day before the announcement of Facebook. Should actually be as revolutionary as Vine suggests, could be a factor that would make the fight for social video niche much more exciting. In any case, the beneficiaries will be the users of both services.
