Karma
Facebook does not stop coming out to the informative arena during these days. Together with the IPO of the world's largest social network and the wedding of its founder , Mark Zuckerberg, now we must add the purchase of an application calledKarma A movement that had not been announced, but which follows in the wake of the behavior that has us used Facebook lately.And it is not the first time he has done something similar.
Well-known and high-profile was the billion-dollar purchase of the Instagram app A network social based on photo retouching using filters andeffects that has achieved great success among users of iPhone, and even more so with its subsequent arrival on the Android platform But it's not the only one. We recently learned the details of the purchase of Lightbox, another application focused on photo editing and retouching from smartphones A clear commitment to image, and it is that it moves a large public.
Well, now we know that Facebook has bought Karma , a curious tool created to not forget any birthday or celebration, allowing you to make gifts of all kinds and never look bad.And it is that Karma collects the special dates and allows you to buy objects such as stuffed animals, lots of cosmetics, champagne, etc to send it to the desired people together with a postcard All without worry about knowing the address, because Karma sends the desired person a text message , a email or a Facebook message notification that there is a gift for him or her In addition, you are asked flavors, smells and tastes to specify the model of gift. And it is he or she who enters the address where they will arrive, so the process is practically automatic.
Now, what can you use Facebook the application Karma ? What is considered in Internet is that you only use the technology of this tool to improve how your app works for smartphones, which is still a bit cumbersome to use.The same has happened with Instagram and Lightbox, at least for now, since both tools continue to work independently And we say for now, because we do plan to add filters retouching to the mobile applications of Facebook In addition, the employees of Lightbox have finally been absorbed by Facebook, but will a gift service be implemented on this social network?
From Karma's own official blog it is explained that its operation will continue invariable In fact, they are happy to have the support and the huge Facebook community, affirming that there are only things good to come However, on behalf of the social network and the way in which it will operate withKarma nothing is known.
The application Karma is developed for both Android and for iPhone However, only works in the United States, so it's useless to download it on Spain Of course, it is free
