NEW #SAMSUNG COMMERCIAL

 Samsung announced quite a few new devices yesterday at its Unpacked event including the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus as well as a new version of the Gear VR headset. With the official reveal behind us, it’s now time for Samsung to start spending some money to promote its new devices to consumers all over the world.

The company has just released a cool commercial that’s very well made and quite funny. It shows an ostrich, a flightless bird, that accidentally puts on a Gear VR headset with the Galaxy S8 inside that runs a flight simulator.

The ostrich likes what it sees and immediately starts believing that it can fly. After trying for some time, the bird finally succeeds and takes to the skies. The commercial then ends with a great tagline that reads “We make what can’t be made, so you can do what can’t be done.”

The commercial really is great and we’re looking forward to seeing more of them from Samsung soon. Especially the ones that will be focused mainly on the recently announced flagship smartphones. For those of you who don’t know, LG also released an interesting commercial for the G6 a few days ago, which is definitely worth checking out.

#Facebook’s #Messenger Day

Facebook has a new feature for Messenger users this week, rolling out to all Android and iOS devices. Called Messenger Day, it allows users to share all their happenings into a Instagram Story-like roll of videos and photos. 

If this sounds odd, that’s because it is. You see, Facebook owns Instagram and Instagram has Stories. The features of Stories and Day are basically identical. Users can snap a photo and add stupid stickers, or take a video and add stupid stickers or neon-colored text to that. Once you have something you think is worthy of sharing with friends, you post it to your “Day,” which can then be viewed by anyone on your Facebook friends list.

The real difference is the interaction FB hopes to take place between people, which is something not pushed by Instagram. While you can comment on a post via Instagram Stories, Messenger Day is about talking and meeting up with friends.

Here’s the complete rundown on how it works, should you be interested.

How It Works

1. First make sure you’ve updated your Messenger app so you have the latest version.
2. Open Messenger, and tap on the camera highlighted with a sun to celebrate this launch. Doing so drops you right into the full-screen camera. Or, tap the “Add to your day” button at the top of your inbox to get started.
3. Snap a quick selfie or take a photo or video of what’s around you.
4. To add art and effects, tap the smiley face icon in the top right and then tap to add to your photo or video. You can also add text over your images by tapping the “Aa” icon, and you can overlay a drawing by tapping the squiggly line in the top right corner.
5. Once you have your photo or video the way you want it, tap the arrow in the bottom right corner. You can then add directly to your day, save it to your phone’s camera roll, and/or you can choose to send it to a specific person or group of people. The photo or video that you add to your day will be viewable for 24 hours.

To use Messenger Day, head on over to Google Play and make sure you have the latest version of Messenger.
