Twitter #Stickers Makes Photo Tagging Fun

June 27, 2016 By Lori David Leave a Comment

Twitter Will Make Photo Sharing and Connecting Easier with #Stickers.

#Stickers are scheduled to arrive to Twitter for Android and iOS in the following weeks.

On Monday, June 27th, Twitter announced the arrival of #Stickers. The new feature will allow Twitter users to tag their photos and images by choosing and applying one of the hundreds of stickers soon to be available.

The #Sticker feature will allow all such tagged public images and photos to be searchable, in the same way Hashtags are used to search Tweets.

Some could look at Twitter’s visual hashtags and call out the microblogging site on attempting to imitate Instagram. The latter boasted on reaching 500 million active users earlier this month. With Twitter user activity averaging out at close 310 million active users, the service could be seen as trying to catch.

#Stickers is not Instagram though, just as much as Twitter is not Facebook. Although #Stickers could end up serving a similar service of visual entertainment, it only adds to what Twitter already was.

While Instagram has half a billion active users liking, commenting, and sharing content, the actual number of daily posts has been scarce. Twitter, on the other hand, is flooded with millions of photos which tend to be more frequent and spontaneous than Instagram’s.

#Stickers allows users to organize their own photos, to give them a unique twist, and to provide them with the opportunity to be shared in an easier way worldwide.

The feature will be available to Twitter users, through the already integrated image editing option. Stickers will be organized in several categories, and the current library has several hundreds of them. Based on how much popularity the feature will be gaining, more stickers could be coming, similar to Facebook Messenger own sticker system.

#Stickers will also have a Featured category, which will include Live Stickers connected to world news, calendar events. The Stickers were obviously designed to make sharing and connecting easier and fun.

A Sticker can only be used in photos and images. They can be placed anywhere in the picture, with additional options to resize and rotate. Possible options like changing the color or combining stickers could be soon coming if there is enough demand for it.

Tapping on a Sticker already placed in a photo will take the user to a Timeline view of all public Twitter photos with the same sticker.

The feature will be made available for Android and iOS in the following weeks. #Stickers will be integrated into the Desktop Twitter and official extensions as well.

Latest Facebook News: Facebook Now Allows Stickers in Comments

October 14, 2014 By Brandi McCants Leave a Comment

At the beginning of this month we covered the news that Facebook is planning to add an in-app digital payment service to their Messenger application, which would allow users to send money to friends, over the app. Today, we’re going to give you some details about a new feature: Facebook now allows stickers in comments!

Facebook Now Allows Stickers in Comments

In case words fail you when you feel the need to comment to your friend’s status updates, links, videos and pictures, you need to know that Facebook now allows stickers in comments. Let Pusheen do the talking for you, or let the ever-so-eloquent Tuzki express your feelings for you, without having to type in the words in the comment box.

Facebook has been ignoring its users for years about a much needed dislike button, but it seems that it caved in and Facebook now has sticker supports in the comment sections. Stickers have been around Facebook for more than a year, having been introduced in April 2013, but now things are getting more serious!

Facebook has begun rolling out this new stickers in comments feature yesterday, so don’t worry if it’s not yet visible with your account, know that it’s coming. You get a small pop-up message that tells you about the new feature and then it goes away as swiftly as it had appeared.

Facebook Now Allows Stickers in Comments

Nobody expected stickers to be so popular and it seems that they’ll grow to be even more popular in the months to come, after Facebook allowing them into the comment section. There’s a wide range of sticker themes to choose from, starting with the classic Meep, to Pusheen the fat cat, Power Rangers, the Pixar Pack, Party Fowls, Biscuit and Opi. Sports related stickers are also available and the good news is that they’re all free!

Do you like stickers? Are you going to use them when commenting? What are your thoughts on the fact that Facebook now allows stickers in comments? Drop us a line and tell us about it!
