Science seems to be something infallible. But it is actually based on mere observation or experimentation. Using logic we have ways of inferring things that we don’t see, but that doesn’t necessarily make them true. They are some kind of incomplete deduction (even if the rules of logic say they are).

Logic is another thing that man probably “invented” so he can better explain things.

Even if we observe something a million times, once we stopped observing it, it may actually change. So does science hold the answer? To the questions we posed, yes. But there are still the ones we haven’t asked yet.

So, always let room in your life for the unexplained. Otherwise, life becomes boring.

Read me out. What if all religions are right? What if all the religious books are actually true stories that have been altered by time? What if they are talking of actual beings, each having his / her own traits?

I come to wonder how all the different races came to be. Maybe they were all one at the beginning of time, then they split up because of natural human curiosity and they just adapted to the environment they lived in, they just evolved to survive their surroundings?

Sometimes I feel like I am on the board of  one of the coolest games ever: the game of life, of evolution. What if Earth is actually the playing ground of an alien race who made an experiment to see how their world came to be?

There are a lot of questions, all without answers. All I say is, don’t choose only one answer, but explore them all. Otherwise you will be missing out on actual life.

Also, be aware that all the “proof” we have right now is mere speculation, based on our interpretation of what we observe around us.

There is no one truth, there are many.

I used are because I am referring to the team of people building that amazing product.

I don’t know why I hadn’t seen the connections earlier! The new paid sticker business model they are probably trying to implement is a certain winner! It even has a cool name: Sticker Store. You already expect them to be paid at some point. Your brain has already been induced that expectation when it first saw the word “store” and saw the shopping basket. The first time I entered I wondered where the paid ones were, that’s how normal it felt in my mind.

They are monetizing on something people do right now in heavy amounts: texting. Or, better said, Facebook Chatting, as almost every device is connected to the Great Internet. With a lot of people using this way of communication, they are going to score big. Who wouldn’t want “premium” smilies others don’t have, so (s)he can boast? How many are willing to pay for it?

They have about three options of making money out of this:

1) Make their own icon packs, then sell them for 99 cents per pack. Instant profit.

2) Allow designers to upload their own pre-approved packs, split the sales.

3) Sell integrated campaigns to big companies for a looooot of money (see the Despicable me stickers).

Now I also have an answer for the size of the stickers: you have a big (and dynamic) canvas to work on. Chatting as you know it will be changed forever. Just you wait and see.

Facebook would be an interesting company to work for nowadays, a lot of cool, social stuff to develop with such a big and diverse user base. Good job, Mark! (Also, good job, Mark’s team, you are a bunch of awesome people)

Because it increases engagement. If most people are like me, once they see the Seen on the bottom of the conversation, they come back to see if there is any reply and end up browsing Facebook for whatever other reason.

I am really curious how much it increased the engagement with Facebook since they introduced the Seen time feature to conversations on the site.
