Well, looks like Facebook has been busy.
Mark Zuckerberg announced they are rolling out the 360 photos worldwide across
Facebook.
Have you been taking 360 videos? Zuckerberg said, “You can tilt your phone and
feel like you’re actually there. You can also check them out in virtual reality
for a fully immersive experience.”
Our world truly changes just about every
day. There are so many innovations. Choosing which ones to use for promotional
purposes, writing and marketing is what we need instructions on in order to
keep up.
Let’s face it, for those who use Facebook
for ads it would be smart to develop less text in ads. Be sure and do your
research before advertising so you will get the biggest bang for your buck.
We all like to see photos; it takes less time than reading a bunch of text and has so much more eye appeal. All in all that will be great for those that run ads.
However, for authors, we still have to be
concerned about text. We can’t fill our pages in a book with images and very
few words.
With the cost of printing color and
images, it also can be prohibitive for us to ad photos to our books.
In truth, that’s the way it should be.
When I get a novel, I like to dive into the words and immerse myself into the
world the author has created; I don’t want the flow of the story to be broken
with pictures popping up.
