With a user base of 400 million users, Instagram has remained one of the few social networks that displays the contents of a strictly chronological manner. With the exception of sponsored posts - that are inserted in your diet based on various clues - what you see in Instagram is a reflection of society.
The Times reports that Instagram will begin testing a change to this system, the use of algorithms to help determine what to do when the application is opened. What you see first, it may be determined by the history of interaction with the user, time of day and the popularity of the photo.
In the Times report, co-founder of Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom said users lose about 70% of posts in their stream Instagram CEO co-founder Kevin Systrom said users lose about 70% of positions in their food and "this is about causes 30% you see the best 30%."
Yet, one can imagine that users do not necessarily like the fact that they no longer control the order in which photos are displayed. Facebook game face its algorithmic decision on the news feed again in 2009 and faced a Twitter game for its attempts to replace your calendar in recent months. In the case of Facebook, users eventually give up and accept the new reality (that users usually do when Facebook made a sudden change).
another co-founder of Instagram, CTO Mike Krieger told the Times that the move to Instagram might not be as big a problem for users, as their diet consists of images and users often follow people around the world.
Although the change happens, do not panic too much yet. Systrom told the Times that the deployment will take time and that the appropriate tests to go into the development of the experience. "It is not that people will wake up tomorrow and have a different Instagram" he said.
That's good. However, only the announcement of such a change is sure to cause reactions. Tell us what you think in the comments.
