Amid reports that Facebook is looking to unify its messaging apps, and it owns the most popular ones, it has now allowed admins of Facebook Pages to respond to their Instagram Direct Messages right from the Page’s inbox. This would make it much easier for them to communicate with their audience spread across the two Facebook-owned platforms.

The announcement came in a press release for the Facebook Communities Summit which took place in the presence of more than 400 community leaders at the company’s Menlo Park headquarters. The company announced a handful of product updates to help them to continue building their communities on the world’s largest social media platform.

The new features added include additional post formatting tools and ways to manage groups like how to inform a member when they violate a rule. A pilot program has also been launched which allows groups and brands to collaborate, bringing subscription groups to more partners.

In addition to that, Page admins have now been allowed to respond to Instagram Direct Messages from their Facebook Page inbox. This could be the stepping stone to enhanced integration between Facebook’s services as has been reported recently. It does make sense for Facebook to allow users to do this as it ensures that they can spend additional time on the Facebook site itself.

I don’t know about you but I really hate mowing the lawn. I’d rather be inside in the air conditioning, relaxing. Well, it looks like iRobot has finally unveiled a robot for lawn mowing that is like the Roomba you use inside your home.

The iRobot Terra robotic lawnmower is designed to perform the chore for you. All you have to do is charge it, set up the wireless beacons around your yard, connect it to the phone app, and let it do its thing. It goes into its charging dock when it needs some juice. It likely won’t cut very thick and tall grass since it is small and just has a small electric motor, but if you already keep your lawn well maintained it will likely do the trick.

It looks pretty easy to use and the best part is that while this thing is mowing your lawn, you can be relaxing inside watching TV or reading a good book. I say reading a good book, but honestly, I’m going to get sucked into binge watching cat videos. Again.

The iRobot Terra robotic lawn mower will be available in Germany soon, and then there will be a beta program in the US later this year.

With most of the specs, features, and designs of Samsung’s upcoming flagships already known, all that’s left to ponder is when the Galaxy S10 will land in stores and for how much. With as much as four models available, some in various configurations, it might be a somewhat daunting decision-making process. Perhaps it is good, then, that at least one … Continue reading
