Snapchat.

  Snapchat is a photo-messaging app that has erupted in the past year. It was developed by Evan Spiegel and Robert Murphy, and then continued at Stanford University. Pretty much everybody I know has snapchat; it is especially popular in teens and young adults. Snapchat allows you to send a picture or video message to someone with a select viewing time. After that person views your photo/video they are unable to re-access it. The viewing time can range anywhere from one to ten seconds. You can write a small sentence or message to attach to your photo or video as seen below. People use snapchat to communicate sometimes rather then text message. Everyone likes a visual message. It is extremely useful to feel close and in touch with loved ones when you are away. Also you can show people exciting things you want them to see throughout your day. Snapchat is a lot of fun and it is understandable why in today’s social media boom it is so popular.
