BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) 10 Supports Foko


The BlackBerry 10 now supports Foko- the photo sharing app.

Foko, is a popular photo sharing app which most of us are not aware of. However, when I heard the news that Foko is making its way to BlackBerry 10, I decided to have a look at this service and extract more details about this enriching app.

Foko is generally considered to be like Facebook Inc. owned Instagram app but with a more defined audience that is enterprises. The company is under the able leadership of Marc Gingras who previously headed Tungle which was later sold to BlackBerry Limited.

The concept behind Foko is pretty simple yet attractive. It is quite similar in nature to Instagram but targets the corporate world. Instagram is usually considered to be a fairly public medium, but Foko, on the other hand, allows users to share pictures privately. The company allows users to share visual content which includes prototypes, designs, ideas, mockups and everything that needs to be penetrated in the corporate world but ensuring privacy and target audience.

The company understands the photo sharing in the corporate sector is looked down upon as something being indecent and shallow. However, Foko wishes to change this image and thus for the same reason is propagating its fresher side by claiming that there is nothing to fight over it.

The company has an agenda to show the corporate sector that is immense room for growth and productivity in photo sharing as it gives a wider canvas to play with, allows firms to collaborate and is easier approach to show products and services.

The app can be downloaded from BlackBerry World which is compatible with BlackBerry 10 mobile phones.

The functionalities that will be available for Foko users on BlackBerry which includes capturing and sharing of content within your corporate environment privately, images will be shared, liked, edited or commented via your BlackBerry smartphone, content could be shared on popular social networking platforms, users will be allowed to add hashtags to optimize and manage searches.

Hence, in a nutshell Foko is the right solution for photo sharing within the corporate sector. The company has done the right thing to launch this service for Blackberry since its corporate usage is far more than regular consumption. The app is not just saturated to BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) users but is also available on iOS and Android for those who wish to share photos privately with their corporate colleagues. This is a positive step for the developer to be acclaimed at so many operating systems.
