Twitter
is apparently not taking the fact that Snapchat has surpassed them lying down
as I'd pointed out in my blog article
entitled “How
Snapchat 150 million Daily users surpasses Twitter and threatens Instagram”.
On
Monday June 27th 2016, Twitter
rolled out virtual stickers as per their blog post article “Introducing
#Stickers on Twitter”, published Monday, June 27, 2016 By Sasank Reddy, Twitter.
From June 2, 2016 |
Check
out this Tweet on their @Twitter Feed:
Coming soon! Unleash your creativity by adding fun #Stickers to your photos on Twitter: https://t.co/Ph92Oivyhy pic.twitter.com/NZoM6nHenD— Twitter (@twitter) June 27, 2016
Hundreds
are available at launch; standard Unicode emoji and original works of art from
Twitter.
You
can place as many sticker on a photograph as you wish and they're rotatable and
resizable
Stickers
are the new economy of social networks and messaging apps and is even set to
become a source of Revenue for rival Snapchat as predicted in my blog article entitled
“Why
Snapchat buying Bitstrips heralds Polaroid trend for Personal Printable Emoji
Stickers”.
Twitter,
however, allows you to search their stickers like hashtags; best of all, they
have many planned for almost every occasion all year round. Twitter may even
monetize this, with advertisers paying Twitter to link business ads and bots to
certain specific Stickers.
Once
you click on a sticker, an alternate timeline appears that lists everyone else
using the same sticker as noted in the article “Twitter
adds stickers for photos and lets you search them like hashtags”, published
June 27, 2016 by Casey Newton, The Verge.
One
thing is for sure; searchable Stickers indicates a maturing Sticker Economy on
Social Media, moving away from temporary art form to a more permanent statement
of individualism.
So
twitter users, one more reason to stick with Twitter and avoid the Snapchat
Crowd!
