Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy cofounded Snapchat in 2011 (Cite). Different magazines and newspaper companies are getting involved with Snapchat by having a story button where they can run of some of the top stories of the day or pictures that you are able to double tap and send out to your contacts. When these two created Snapchat they were college students, so I would definitely say I am a part of this companies original target audience. The first time I had ever heard of this app was by word of mouth and I just found it to be cool because it let me see what my friends were doing. Being that my generation enjoys actually being able to interact with people and places without having to physically be there is something that these founders really
Last with snapchat you can send something funny but not appropertet to 30 people but you don't have to show your grandma. If i took a video and you say a bad word i can send it to Ethan,Gael,Peter and Aaryn but not grandma,Unlike facebook where you put one thing on their and everyone can see it with snapchat you chose.If you want to tag someone it wont show that video to their friends.There is a thing call your story where you can post one thing and everyone can see it once.
I believe the younger generation lets selfies and other forms of social media affect them by creating dishonest performance from who they truly are. The ones who are not affected by this and seem to present their true identities in most cases is the older generation. Social media has become an everyday thing for teenagers. They are constantly on the lookout for what new trends are going on and what they can do to get in on this trend. For example, in my past experiences I have seen friends as well as other people from school that see something popular on social media such as clothes and buy them to just try and fit in on this trend. They would post selfies with their outfit of the popular clothes to fit in and get the recognition of others, but when all this seemed to not be so popular anymore and people would jump on something new they would not wear it anymore and try to sell it. This comes to show that teenagers focus so much on social media that they distance themselves from their true image to try and fit in with what’s
Many people make assumptions on what things are without doing research, I admit I have done the same. People seemed to have made assumptions especially on what happens when Net Neutrality was repealed. People assumed that Snapchat and social media was going to be affected, but realistically it was internet in general including texting which is already throttled.
Americans today tend to believe that social media has benefited them to connect with others quickly. Nearly two-thirds of Americans (65%) use social networking sites, up from 7% when Pew Research Center began systematically tracking social media usage in 2005 (Perrin). Technology has contributed many benefits for our society to enjoy and one of this is social media. Social Media refers to an online application such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, or Pinterest that people enjoy to share photos or videos. These applications can be accessed through computers, laptops, IPads, tablets, and smartphones. Today nearly two-thirds of Americans own a smartphone, and 19% of Americans rely to some degree on a smartphone for accessing

Have you ever looked through a magazine and found it to be really interesting? That is because you are part of its target audience. You are part of a group of people that the magazine is trying to appeal to. There is a reason Sports Illustrated is more of a man’s magazine and Family Circle is more of a woman’s magazine. The people that run that magazine put certain things in those magazines to attract their audience. More commonly, men are interested in sports and anything to do with sports. In Sports Illustrated, the reader would find sports, and that is it. The reader would not find an article titled “How working women balance their careers and home lives.” An article such as that would be found in a magazine like Family Circle, as it is targeted more towards women who have a family. For the purpose of this audience visual analysis, I will be discussing the October 8th, 2012 issue of People magazine. Looking at this issue and reading through the magazine, it is evident that the publishers do have a target audience in mind. This visual analysis will discuss who its target audience is and how the reader can tell. Also, the essay will discuss how the magazine makes the advertisements relevant to its audience.

In 2011, Snapchat, a photo sharing app became publicized. It was launched by Evan Spiegel, and Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown who were all brothers. Originally, Snapchat was used by Rebecca Minkoff so that she could allow others to see her spring clothing collection before she had models walk in the outfits on the runway. Eventually, various people began using Snapchat for other reasons. Snapchat allows people to take photographs using the app and share them instantly. However, there is an unexpected catch. Once someone sends a picture to a friend of his or her choice, the friend can only view the picture of maximum or ten seconds. Once the ten seconds are gone, the picture may never be seen again. On the other hand, the picture can be screenshotted. If this occurs, the Snapchat team will instantly notify the user that his or her photograph has been screenshot. In addition, users are also allowed to make stories. When making a story, one is able to combine photographs and videos in sequential order. The story can be as long as the person may choose, but after twenty-four hours the story is no longer visible and it is gone forever. Recent headlines exclaim the worth of Snapchat is around nineteen billion dollars. Nevertheless, Snapchat has about one-hundred million monthly users who are less than twenty-five years of age (“Snapping” 2015). Unsurprisingly, that number is steadily
“What’s your Snapchat?” is one of the most commonly asked questions when I first meet people. No, it’s not “Do you have a Snapchat?” instead it’s “What IS”. Snapchat is a way for teens, celebrities, brands, and those alike to share short pictures and videos of what they currently are doing. These pictures and clips can only be seen for a maximum of ten seconds at a time, unless the sender sets the visual as their snapstory. If something is set as a snapstory, the poster’s friends can view the post as many times as they want for the next 24 hours (unless deleted). Snapchat enables a user to post funny, entertaining posts that really have no significance other than pure amusement. Most snapchat’s also feature a caption directly onto the picture/video in order to explain to the audience exactly why it was posted. These captions do not have to be anything special, more of just a way to justify why you decided to send a 10-second picture of a
If you ever thought about influencers ' social media success, you 've probably noticed a number of factors that are involved in the influencers popularity. There are certain common things which take their personal brands to the next level such as a huge number of followers, a dedicated audience, and the regular re-sharing of their content.
Facebook, is the Social Media platform that has captured this generation. It is Universal. If an account for Facebook is not owned then that individual is defamed. Without Facebook, this individual will be missing out on status updates and pictures from their friends. In the eyes of a millennial this individual would be unsocial. Facebook is popular because of the way it connects users with their friends.
Social media avenues are a new, upcoming, and popular way to advertise for businesses and for people to connect to each other. Alexis Ohanian once said that "Being effective at social media, whether for business or personal use, means capturing people who have short attention spans. They 're only a click away from a picture of a funny cat, so you have to make your thing more compelling than that cat. And that can be a high bar." (Ohanian) Powerful usage of social media can have a big impact.
Good writers should decide on the audience of the literary work before they start writing procedure. When one writes a paper or essay, it is possible that he or she actually forgets to decide the ‘definite’ audience of the piece of literature. However, one always writes targeting an audience, even if he or she does not think about it consciously: sometimes one considers the instructor as the audience, sometimes much generalized group of readers, and sometimes one writes for himself or herself.

Identification of the audience helps the writing process and enhances the essay whereas dropping of the audience concern restrict the boundaries of the essay.
