En una sorpresiva movida esta semana, la red social de Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, anunció un nuevo servicio que te ayudara a conseguir ese “pon” que necesitas para llegar a lugares si no tienes vehículo propio.
Esta semana Facebook anunció que llegó en un acuerdo con Uber para que puedas utilizar a Facebook Messenger para conseguir transportación directamente y la misma red social te paga los primeros $20 de la tarifa de tu salida y los que tengan ya cuenta en Uber, pueden enlazar las misma si estas en mercado participante.
Como toda red social, Facebook y Facebook Messenger le dejara saber a tus contactos que estas de camino a verlos una vez hayas solicitado el servicio directamente.
Messenger is your place to communicate seamlessly with everyone – from making plans with friends, sharing pictures and moments with your loved ones, sending money, and talking to your favorite businesses about a purchase or getting updates on your item’s delivery. Millions of people all over the world use Messenger every month to engage with businesses because it’s simple, secure, convenient and keeps everything in one place.
Technology can make all of our engagements with businesses better, and over the past year Messenger has added integrations with select retailers, household brands and hotels to make your most common and every day business interactions more productive.
Today, we’re expanding the services available to you with our launch of transportation on Messenger. With this new feature, you can request a ride from a car service without ever needing to download an extra app or leave a conversation. It’s super easy and doesn’t take you away from the plans that you’re making with your friends or family.
Whether you’re meeting friends for lunch, on your way to a concert, or running late for work, Messenger and our partners can get you to your destination faster.
To get started, download the latest version of Messenger. Then, from within a conversation, tap the more menu and choose Transportation. You can also search directly for Uber – our first partner – and tap the car icon to request a ride. From there, you’ll receive updates on your driver’s status and notify your friends that you’ve called a ride. With the ability to request, track and pay for a ride in Messenger, we’re making transportation as simple as sending a message.
Obviamente, son mercados selectos los que están directamente participando de este programa y se espera que más lugares sean agregados pronto.
