Maybe i am Old??..but what is Snapchat?..

Sophia · 05-22-17, 08:57 AM

My younger brother keeps telling me to join Snapchat. At first i was like "Yeah, i already have an account"..turns out, what i thought was "Snapchat" is actually "Instagram"

Good heavens i can't keep up! I guess social media is now on another level huh? I just confirmed i am ageing like fine wine

It's like What'sApp, but less functions, and pictures destroy themselves soon after viewing. One has to follow this nonsense to be "up to date" of course.

They all use and sell your data, which is why they "do not cost anything" (apart from your privacy).

Unbelieveble with what kind of sh.. you can make money today. Like with updates for light bulbs (WLAN ones, but still), or for your car's audio system. or engine.

You're not the only one lost with things like snapchat, Sophia. As Catfish said, people who area bit more sensible are suspicious of apps like snapchat and others for the reasons Catfish mentioned and I'm sure other reasons as well.

STEED is very old... he must be the oldest one here.

I don't even know what instagram is.

I assume these are different companies that run social media services?
