Week 2 [20.03-26.03.2017] Snapchat

Snapchat is an application for placing pictures and videos, which are removed after viewing. That was the idea of this application.
Personally I uninstalled and installed it several times, because I thought it was unusefulFor about 2 months I use it more regularly (up to once a day). I do not have many friends on the Snapchat, because it doesn’t work like facebook. It would be difficult to mark the sending of a photo to a hundred people :)
Sometime ago an interesting feature appeared – face swap. Probably thanks to this addition I have not yet thrown this application :) As the name suggests we can swap with faces with another person and I think it is cool and fun.


In addition, different filters appear every day. For example, on the day of St. Patrick's Day you could look like the picture below.
Each such photo can be sent to a friend or inserted into stories. The stories are not visible to everyone as it is for example on facebook
Interestingly, the snapchat has so far been unprofitable and you can buy its shares at the New York Stock Exchange. Shares can be bought for around 20$. Unfortunately from the beginning the shares lost value by nearly 25%.
Snapchat is a constantly evolving application. Added ability to chat with friends, re-see the snap etc. but in my opinion filters are the best. Many applications have copied this functionality. In the aforementioned facebook we have a weak clone. Instagram and Twitter introduce something based on Snapchat’s my story. You can tell that the Snapchat sets the trend
Another thing I wanted to mention is the lack of a web application. It surprised me very much, and over time I understood it. This is a dedicated application for young people. And sometimes I get the feeling that I do not fit in there.

The last thing I wanted to write was a group of programmers. Maybe it's crazy, but it might be useful to somebody. I invited some of these developers to my friends. The link below is over 250, so there is something to choose from.
