It seems that the social network of Mark Zuckerberg does not stop their advance nor a moment, and does not conform with milestones as your output to bag or purchase of service Instagram. Now presents an application (at the moment only for iOS) designed to give "hints" to our friends, in which the message, picture or video sent disappears without a trace after viewing it a few seconds.


Have you wanted to send a message with the assurance that there is no evidence that you comunicasteis such information? Perhaps show a person a slightly uploaded photo of tone, that I would not like that end up in the wrong hands? Or perhaps show a funny video yours to a group of friends, but without the risk that you put in ridicule if ends in a site similar to YouTube? All we are concerned about privacy, and Mark Zuckerberg's social network is the first aware that certain things should just be shared appropriately.

Why present the Poke application for iOS, which allows us to send messages to a contact or to several at once, including text, images, or a short video. The peculiarity is that the sender always decides How long you can view content: 1, 3, 5 or 10 seconds, and once past this period disappears forever from the device. As it is obvious that many will be those who employ a very "discreet" application for sexual purposes, the option of reporting those communications deemed inadequate by the receiver is enabled. The program is now available for free in Apple's App Store.

The truth is that the way in which Facebook expands the concept of "touch", but this novelty will be doomed to compete with heavyweights like WhatsApp or Line, that would not be strange that they copied this feature is interesting. The social network, after his departure to bag and the purchase of Instagram, seems that you don't want to let surprise users, and this new Poke it may be an interesting addition to the more youthful audience. We will see in the coming months what is your hosting, and if it has no problems with the law in more than one country.

What you think about this development? Useful and necessary, or dispensable and destined to oblivion?
