I like the speed and conciseness of snap picture messages. The disadvantage is the loose video talk that bores\u00a0people<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>in the same way as in vlogs.

The most enthusiastic snappers are TV and radio celebrities\u00a0such as Arman Alizad\u00a0who market their own shows. But who wants to follow a stream of ads?<\/p>\n<p>The public sector offers some good examples: the Finnish Tax Administration uses Snapchat togive concise instructions and to translate tax terms into plain language.

The snaps combine worthwhile content with personal viewpoints.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve given thought to the merits of open versus private sharing of snaps. Private messages work well in this medium; success with open content requires additional work for the person snapping, and the actual benefits can be minimal.\u00a0As with other social media, it&#8217;s not enough just to be on Snapchat; you need to have a purpose, and you need to plan your approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m more enthusiastic about\u00a0Snapchat\u00a0than about Instagram.
