Is anyone here actively on Snapchat?
I'm betting not...seems mostly the under 20 crowd.
 
It used to be for trading nudie pics, but has gained some credibility among a wider audience lately with the addition of new features.
 
My profile has a video of my wife making a Filipino dessert, and me talking to my dog right now....but those videos expire in 24 hours.
My username is: kmgjkos

I'm keeping our kids off of it at their ages and I don't have an account for it. I'm 'old school.'

I have an account so I can see the pics my friends send around (usually just being goofy at bars and such) but I don't see a use for it in my life. If I'm going to take a photo, I don't want it to go away.
 
Was reading somewhere about a lady who didn't really understand snapchat and used it to record a friend's wedding... was mighty upset to see it all vanished minutes later.

I have it on my phone but can't easily find people or figure out how to search for my friends because you can make your user name anything. I don't have all their email address either. I don't like making videos of myself either although I do like watching the ones of the 4 friends I have lol!

Snapchat is actually gaining use amongst the older crowd as of late. It's a great marketing tool if you know how to use it correctly. I've been having a lot of fun with it.

Does the picture/video? delete 24 hours after it is sent, or after it's opened?

@Whit If you send it to one individual (or 3, 10 or whatever) it deletes after they view it. If you post it on your "Story" it lasts 24 hours and then it disappears. And by "disappear" I mean you can't see it anymore but we all know things don't really ever delete once online.
 
There is also a way someone can "screenshoot" your photo but the app will tell you when they do that, although there's really nothing you can do about it if they do. They can then share that image through Twitter, FB, etc.
 
I SnapChat with my kids here and there--mostly send selfies or short videos of what I'm doing. I post short videos of my day for my other photographer friends, especially if it's photo-related and I follow them for the same reason.

There is a Bradley U. group snapchat?... called Hilltopmadness. It has been the center of some controversy not so long ago with some greek houses engaging in Nazi vs Jew drinking games and some shenanigans with 'black face'.

@Mahkno How do they run a group Snapchat -- they share the same username & password with a bunch of people?
