We all know Facebook is an industrial giant as it has many companies working for it and it plays a major role in the internet world. It has control over almost everything online but this news is pretty different and shocking.
According to a report by iDownloadBlog Facebook is urging its workers to switch to Android phones.
Cody Lee of iDownloadBlog explains:
The campaign has already started taking and posters like the one above in the picture are reported to be seen around facebook office campuses.
Personally, I don't see the need to run such a campaign, If facebook is an economical giant then so is Apple. Only employees handsets won't cause any harm to Apple's sales or usage. I don't understand the reason behind the campaign either.

Apparently Facebook has launched an internal campaign to get its employees to trade in their iPhones for Android devices. After years of giving its workers Apple handsets, the social networking giant is urging them to make the switch to Google’s platform in an effort known as Droidfooding…
What’s Droidfooding? TechCrunch states:
“Facebook is making a shift. Not just to mobile, but to a balanced focus across mobile through an informal program to nudge employees to Android. It was first mentioned by Business Insider’s Owen Thomas in August and I’ve since investigated. The campaign casually known as “Droidfooding”, a portmanteau of Android and dog fooding — eating your own dog food aka testing your own products.”
Personally, I don't see the need to run such a campaign, If facebook is an economical giant then so is Apple. Only employees handsets won't cause any harm to Apple's sales or usage. I don't understand the reason behind the campaign either.
Facebook's spokesman said:
“We’ve created more awareness that Android devices are available” Now, “there’s plenty of people here carrying around both devices, and not just engineers and not just mobile people.”So apparently facebook wants their employees to switch from other devices to Android devices but it seems they are getting Android devices but not letting go their iPhones and I completely understand that, they must be attached to their iPhone. Everyone is. Aren't you?

"Aren't you?" No, after a 2G and a 3GS went kaput on me I've had it with Apple mobile devices. Android I can use with Samsung, HTC, Motorola, etc. etc... With iOS I am forever worrying about network unlock, jailbreaking, etc. What a headache.
ReplyDelete^^ totally agreed, much more streamlined with android vs apple. You dont have to work to make the phone do cool stuff, it just does.
DeleteI completely agree with you guys on that. You get options and all that but I can't say if I like Apple devices better or Android devices so its a 50/50 for me.
