The social network “VKontakte” decided not to publish photos and hyperlinks to pages in the user Instagram. Now, to go to the service, users need to manually copy and paste them into the address bar.
These changes have appeared in the Monday August 3. Press secretary of “VKontakte” George Lobushkin confirmed “Gazeta.ru” that the social network does not support links Instagram. Although the causes are not known and, many believe that this is due to the release of Snapster – own photo application from the “VKontakte”.
«Restriction Instagram link to this page from” VKontakte “likely is effectively connected with an attempt to popularize their own photoappendices Snapster. However, the administration “VKontakte” has chosen a very strange way to transfer the audience to a new service, “- told” Gazeta.ru “a leading iKS-Consulting analyst Maxim Savvatin.
According to him, the audience Instagram throughout the world today is constantly increasing, and Facebook still uses the full potential is far from belonging to her service. “Despite the fact that the restriction clicking on the link does not affect the positions of” Vkontakte “and Instagram, the administration of Russia’s social network has chosen not the best option promote its counterpart popular photoappendices” – summed up Savvatin.
At the same algorithms social network when you insert a link to a picture in Instagram continue to automatically load it on their own servers, as is the case with the usual pictures on the Internet. Similarly, reference to Instagram operates in the personal information of the user. Thus, the changes are only references to the pages in Instagram, who sent in comments, publications and personal messages.
Presented “VKontakte” service Snapster largely similar to Instagram, but it is deeply integrated with the parent social network. All publications in Snapster fall into a special album tied to the profile page “VKontakte”. Using them is possible without registration in the Russian social network, but in this case the tape updates will be much poorer if you do not subscribe to their friends individually.
The founder of “VKontakte” Pavel Durov, is currently working on its own messenger Telegram, praised the new application.
«VKontakte” – is not the first social network that has decided to switch to a silent struggle with Instagram. Previously, from the integration of this PHOTO refused Twitter. First when publishing links on Instagram to Twitter, along with her photograph appeared and for which the link leads. However, in 2013, Twitter made the decision to abandon this practice because Instagram competed with their own tools to publish photos microblogging.
In addition, the previously “VKontakte” had a similar confrontation from YouTube. During the conflict, the counter does not count views YouTube videos that were made through the interface “VKontakte”. It all started with the emergence of video advertising on YouTube. “VKontakte” was against the presence of YouTube advertising in a video posted on a social network, which is why decided to “cut” it in its video player, in which are embedded videos from YouTube.
As a result, this has led to what many videoblogery forbidden to post their videos anywhere, except on the YouTube, since it automatically led to the loss of money per impression advertising, audience and, consequently, the number of advertisers. The conflict between the two services was settled only in 2015.
