Top 3 Great Uses of Snapchat

Snapchat is a popular photo sharing app. It owes its massive success to the brilliant idea of having photos and messages promptly wiped out of the Internet. It erased the notion that, “What is put out over the Internet stays in the Internet.” However, Snapchat has evolved and is no longer just a photo messaging platform. Let’s explore other great uses for Snapchat…

Snapchat is the Simplest Video Calling App

Snapchat has already evolved into a video calling app. It’s simpler and much easier to use than the more famous Skype. With a simple swipe of a name or photo, you can easily talk to your family and friends. The video and the call quality is good enough to make personal calls. Although unconventional, no one ever said you could not use it for more important calls. Hmmm… Could it be effective for business?

Snapchat has a Discovery Feature

Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram have their own live feeds, trending topics, hashtags and what-not. But they don’t have a Discovery feature like Snapchat’s. From several players, you can explore news topics and stay updated on what are the latest happenings around you via CNN and Yahoo News! You can discover educational tidbits, from National Geographic for example. Snapchat even has its own channel where you can get three hot conversation topics every day. Amazing discoveries are at your fingertips!

Business

Last year, Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles, who is also one of Snapchat’s board of directors, revealed at a conference that mobile shopping and e-commerce are coming to Snapchat. Wow! That’s really some Discovery news! Users can even simply take a photo of a product, add captions, and send to followers who can be potential customers. Now imagine if influential users promote it to their huge following! How would that impact their business?

Snapchat has always made headlines. Especially now with its recent Initial Public Offering. Loyal Snapchat users—and there are millions—get excited with every news and every added feature that’s rolled out. And who knows how they will soon transform e-commerce? Let’s hope we find out soon!
