For my next observe I chose to do this new facebook app update I just so happened to stumble upon when I was going about my day. Recently facebook added a thing when when you watch a video and mid-way through if you swipe downward instead of going away it will be a minimized version of it in the corner of your screen. I was taken aback by this at first because I wasn’t expecting them to do this. The reason why I found this interesting however, is because Youtube has had a feature just like that where you can browse other videos while the one you are watching is minimized in the same fashion you see in the image. With the new Youtube update it has a version where the same thing happens but they changed the look of this minimized screen so it looks like where Youtube goes, facebook is a step behind them. I feel like this relates to an earlier observation I had where I said that Facebook is trying to monopolize the app industry by trying to ripoff features of others apps and I feel like this is a strong example of that again. Facebook is trying to encourage people to watch more videos on facebook by making it more “convenient” for them to watch, pause and do others things and later come back to that video. I feel likes its almost obvious at this point.
