REMEMBER HOW YOUR feed was full to the brim with videos of friends (and friends of friends) doing the ice bucket challenge?
Chances are there are still a number of videos doing the rounds, but if you think that was only a blip, then you may want to prepare yourself for more videos appearing in your news feed over the coming months.
According to Facebook, there have been an average of more than 1 billion video views on the service every day, with 65% happening on mobile.
Most of that would have been down to auto-play videos, but it’s enough for the company to start adding more features to increase video views even further.
Starting this week, any video that is posted publicly will now come with its own view counter showing how popular it is.
Also, another feature it’s testing is the ability to be presented with related videos, similar to how multiple articles appear whenever you select one directly from the site or app. In short, this means that more auto-play videos will begin appearing in your feed over the coming weeks and months.
The company has made no secret of its desire to tap into video advertising, and the traction its auto-play videos have received in recent weeks will have helped out.
Thankfully, you can turn off the auto-play function on the app so you don’t end up with any nasty phone bills.

The word in the local neighbourhood is it’s the “Cream Crackers” that’s doing the damage, was the same again a few weeks ago. Sure why not?, this culture is vital to the Irish public and must be protected at all cost.

@Alberto Balsam: Taking the biscuit again. Ballybrack Says No (to work and mortgages) likely culprits. Rob everything.
@Alberto Balsam: Of course that’s the word locally. Never seen an area yet that will blame their own. It’s always someone else.
@Sherry Adams – Norn Iron Drag Artiste: Not me,I work,I have a mortgage,looks like you fell flat on your face with that one,yet again.
@P. V. Aglue: pity they weren’t
@Sherry Adams – Norn Iron Drag Artiste: I live in Ballybrack, had a mortgage, paid it in full 20 years ago when I was 33, don’t tar the majority with the few.
@Andrew Giles: in fairness.
With the lot in the government we are heading steadily backward.
@Lei tatt: were we ever moving forward under the governments we have had over the decades..
@Lei tatt: that’s individual behaviour

What time is yer man from the airport meltdown due in court? Can’t wait to hear the excuse….
@Sherry Adams – Norn Iron Drag Artiste: Lukas Kaunietis of no fixed abode. Would that be Lithuanian then?
I wonder was it vandalism or was it crime, i.e. theft of the cables. Not that vandalism isn’t a crime.
@Rob Goodbody: shopping trolley rob.
@Rob Goodbody: was a problem in the UK for years. Remote stretches of motorway between junctions, where cables for street lights were regularly liberated
@Ronan Mc: Roma and travellers job usually. Some got killed in France while stealing cables on a TGV line… low IQ people.
and Irish Rail can’t deliver the rail line from Athenry in Galway to Collooney in Sligo to civilised people in the Western seaboard.
More CCTV’s required and more security.
Oh. Not Pantograph Bliss then. Shocking.
