Facebook attempts to clone snapchat through “Messenger day”

Facebook is copying the snapchats Stories format in countries where Snapchat isn’t popular yet. The company has been subtly and steadily experimenting with some Snapchat like features as of late. It launched “Messenger Day” in Poland which allows people to share illustrated filter-enhanced photos and videos that disappear in 24 hours, just like on Snapchat. It’s not the first time they tried to clone this very popular chat app. Frist it was “Instagram stories” then they launched ‘lifestage”. Now, Facebook is trying “Messenger Day” within its messaging app, which functions very much like Snapchat Story. This benefited Facebook being a giant company earning $2 billion in profit a quarter. Messenger Day may not stop people using Snapchat, but Facebook could hamper its competitor’s growth by racing to to bring its own Stories to the unclaimed parts of the earth.

The future of payment system

Hello all techies,

Are you tired of having a big bulky wallet with you all the time? Do you wanna rid of the trouble of carrying a big amount of money & 3-4 card credit card  with you? Fear not my pals for thy is here to save you.  (I’m talking about digital wallet apps :p )

Finding the best wallet app can be hard because there are many decisions to make about what features are most important to you. Here is my list of top 3 wallet apps.

·         1. PayPal: This digital wallet has the largest user base. If you already have credit card processor then read your contract to make sure there isn't an exclusivity clause that stops you from using a secondary processor. Otherwise, accepting PayPal is a pretty smart move.

·         2.Google wallet-Instead of tapping your credit card at the checkout counter, you just  wave or tap your smartphone on the machine to make your payments. It’ll identify the credit card information merged with your Google account. But Google Wallet needs (NFC) technology to work which unfortunately is only available on certain smartphones and tablets.

·         3. Samsung Pay-This mobile wallet is one of the newer options. The perk is that it may already work with your existing mag-stripe terminal. If it doesn't, just update your software. The fun of accepting this mobile wallet without updating your equipment or changing processors puts this wallet app at the list.

Let’s dive into reality!!!

 R U STILL sitting in front of your PC to play games?? Don’t you think it’s time to bring a little reality into your game life?? Fear not my friends for we have AR in our life. It overlays digital content on top of real things using something like a map or a camera. Here’s my list of the Top Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality games.

1. Pokemon GO- Pokémon Go has taken the world by storm! Produced as a joint venture between Niantic, The Pokémon Company and Nintendo. The game is close enough to the real thing that it’s being credited with bringing Augmented Reality to the masses for the first time

 2. Ingress-Pokemon Go may be the hot new thing, but Ingress is where Niantic first pioneered its GPS augmented reality gameplay. It’s a massively played multiplayer AR game. Players join river secret society to fight or to control over "Exotic Matter" leaking into our world around landmarks and famous buildings. Thus a science fiction thriller story unfolds.

 3. Invizimals: The Resistance- Released on 2015, it runs on Sony handheld gaming devices like PSP VITA. There are over 150 different creatures have fallen under the control of the evil Maximillian and can be captured in over 15 different ways, including online and offline multiplayer modes.

 4. Life is Crime- It’s another GPS location based game. But it’s a little more risqué    unlike Ingress. It features gangs that you can join or live chat so you can communicate with fellow players. You can fight with other gangs for actual territory and complete missions.

 5.SpecTrek- It’s a GPS based game for hunting down ghost & the paranormal. While it is a game for all ages, users have raved about how much fun this game is to play with kids. It’s a simple game but still fun.

 Well guys, Lemme know if u have a favorite. Dont forget to like & comment. CHAO J

Can’t wait for Google Duo

I have always wished there was something alike Facetime for android platform which will make my android phone more special. Thanks to Google for the idea of bringing Google Duo that will replace Facetime  for android.

Google Duo is a new video chat app releasing today. I have read about it, it’s fast, easy to use and without any complicated noise. Simply tap on the face of the person to start your one-on-one video call.

The app is available for android and iphones. Users need to sign up with their phone number from a carrier and they will receive confirmation texts. Users don’t need to maintain long complicated friendlist, Google Duo automatically updates the contact list with stored in device or phone number. Users can invite others to join by sending in app messages,

Currently Google Duo doesn’t have the feature of conference call or hangout style funny pirate hat on users head during call and it’s available for mobile devices only.

Another exciting feature is available for android users only, that is “Knock knock”. It allows users to see the live preview of the user calling, and lets the caller make funny faces, influencing receiver to receive the call. Users can turn off this feature if they don’t like it.

According to Google Duo testers, one-on-one video calling feature works very well for this app. Hope Google replaces the Facetime trend and gives us a handy app which can be used in different platforms.
