Facebook is trying to get its employees switched on to Android with a series of witty posters asking them “Do you ##Q##droidfood?
Employees at the social networking giant have previously been given iPhones but the massive rise in the number of people with Android phones has made Facebook realise they need to cater better for Droid Dudes among their one billion active users. The firm launched an updated Facebook app for Android back in 2011 which made it easier to share photos and made it possible to respond to friends and stay updated without leaving the page you were on.
In a clever campaign based on the theory of eating dog food ie tasting your own products, Facebook is reminding workers that Google OS is likely to bundle with double the number of devices as Apple in the next four years.
The firm has realised that it needs to beef-up its knowledge of all things Android pretty smartish to keep up with demand from Facebook users who will expect as good a service as Apple users.
Initially, Facebook, which started in 2004, didn##Q##t see too much of a problem because the first Android smartphones were nothing like as good as Apple. But with the massive rise in interest in Android operating systems Facebook needs to make a move now and start droidfood as a program for employees.
droidfood equals new Android phone
Company testers get the chance to play with the latest version of Android apps and Facebook has incorporated droidfood Rage Shake, where if something goes wrong, testers shake their phones and their problem is automatically logged with tech support.
This means that more bugs are reported by more people. Nobody has to log on to fill in complicated forms for tech support, and hope someone will get back to them to discuss the issue, probably taking them away from other work.
If only Rage Shake was available for every Android problem! We could all droidfood for Facebook.
