Specialists “VKontakte” began to create a new social network, which is expected to be run on the domain snapster.io, while it is based photoappendices put Snapster . Although the administration of the social network has not commented on this information, however, « News », citing a source dedicated to the plans of the company, says that the new network will be based on the concept of “fotokomnat.” In other words, here we are talking about the same public servers and communities who are working “VKontakte”, with the only difference that each post must necessarily be accompanied by a photograph.

According to the source, the new service will be to work so that the photos will not be merged into a single RSS feed, and stir it with other images, as in “VKontakte”, or Instagram. Moreover, in each of the “rooms” at the same time be able to work a few authors who will have the opportunity, how to publish new photos and text, and adjust the already existing content. But what is important, Snapster will allow users to more detailed work with colors, creating filters in its sole discretion, and, if desired, by sharing them with your friends.

photoappendices Snapster was launched in July last year and on the basis of their work almost completely replicated Instagram, although it had a more functional set of photo filters. On the other hand, it was too much integrated with the “VKontakte”, and photos that users were charged in application necessarily be duplicated in a single album in the most social network. In addition, in the news user display pictures, published both in Snapster, and in “VKontakte”. And since it is this fact were related underlying claims users, “VKontakte” have decided to fundamentally solve the problem, in fact, created a new social network.

Now we are working on a new application, and on the site snapster.io. At the heart of the new social network is the concept of “fotokomnat.” It is, in fact, the same Public and communities, as in “VKontakte”, but with the obligatory picture for each post. For every “room” will be to appoint a number of authors who will be able to publish or edit photos, and text. The source of “Izvestia” noted that the new service will not all photos in a single stirring the news, as it happens in Instagram or “VKontakte”.

The head of MDK (popular community “VKontakte”, published funny pictures, 7.1 million subscribers) Roberto Panchvidze noted that important for them to conveniently publish content created by them in social networks.

– I do not think that within this social network has space for Public, but Snapster have all the cards, is now at the peak of Instagram, a huge amount of content and a large advertising clutter – explains Panchvidze. – If Snapster avoid the mistakes of his chief rival, then it will shift Instagram. But it will be hard for one functional fotokomnat will be small. We will look, if we’re there we can create a new format, such as on Twitter, then we will gladly primknite. While too early to say.

Blogger Anton box-Zemlyansky also notes that in Instagram a lot of spam in the comments to create fake accounts and advertising accounts that are added to users in subscribers. The problem of spam is strongly concerned about the users, said the expert. For example, when the messengers Viber and WhatsApp was a lot of spam, users began to look for an alternative, it for many became just appeared when the service Telegram Pavel Durov.

– Zvednye people – politicians, actors, singers – very slowly migrate from site to site. When the area becomes uncomfortable with her start to leave. The Instagram a lot of spam, because of this read comments, and communicate it impossible. Here niche can take Snapster. It is known that “VKontakte” successfully fighting spam, and if it will continue in the new service will be very well – says box-Zemlyansky. – “VKontakte” it is necessary to pay attention to the emerging trends – for example, to give the opportunity to do live video in Snapster. That they stand out from Instagram. They need new features, because of which will go to them.

The “VKontakte” have already been attempts to create a third-party services based on the main social networks. This, for example, support for job search “VShtate” and video service “VKadre.” They did not find support among the users, and the result after some time, were closed.
