    Snapchat’s Face-off With Facebook, A Bit Late?

    Facebook is known to copy Snapchat features. Not just Facebook but Wechat too was copying  Sanpcaht’s ‘stories’ feature for its own platform. There was a band of copycats that were interested in milking the hard work and originality of Snapchat. For long this was the case, but not anymore. If the latest plans of Snapchat works, it will be the end of copying features from it. In the latest report from Techcrunch, Snapchat officials have revealed a new feature to let other platforms embed its stories. Simply, why reinvent the wheel when you already have the option to use the existing platform to engage your users? Tinder, Houseparty and others can now let its users show their Snapchat stories within these apps as well. According to Snapchat officials, if it gets traction you have a good competition between Snapcaht and Facebook.

    A journey that started to promote electric car acceptance has finally paid off. The Netherlands’ Wiebe Wakker has completed the 59,000-mile journey in his electric car, starting from Amsterdam and finishing off in Australia. The tech sponsors behind this event include Adobe and Canon. It seems that electric cars really didn’t pick up as expected, but one company, in particular, Tesla is making the killing. For example in Norway, Tesla is the most selling car, year-on-year. Link.
