Social Media & Creativity

How often do you use Snapchat? A study found that 77% students from 1,600 social media savvy college students use Snapchat Daily.

What is it about sending someone 10 seconds video or a snapshot picture of themselves do? Snapchat, like many other social media, loves to attract college students. In the survey, Snapchat’s users use Snapchat to be creative. What can you do if it goes wrong? One interesting statistic that they found from the study is 2% of the poll use Snapchat to “sexting” and sending inappropriate messages. Snapchat has a feature to let the senders know if you take a screenshot of the picture/video they send you. It doesn’t mean that it’s safe. What do you guys think?

    Thanks for sharing the statistics! I wouldn’t have guessed the number of people using snapchat daily because not all of my friends use it. It is funny how our means of communication has resorted to this from face-to-face or phone calls. The screenshot feature is flawed because there is a way to save all the “snaps” you get from other people without it showing on their phone.
