I have been using Snapchat for quite a while now, and it is a social media platform that I quite enjoy. Today, Jia Jia and I decided to try using Snapchat for one of our sketches. We chose to go to Flipboard Café, and it was only then that I began to really explore all the functions the application had.

For one, you could include a timestamp that would let viewers know the time at which you did a certain thing. Snapchat also provides stickers according to your location, so we could easily put a Melbourne one if we wanted to. They also have one where you could share the temperature of the place you are in. And if you’re looking to add a description of some sort, you could also add text to your Snap.

We found this quite convenient, especially when we were reviewing the café, because we were able to include quite a lot of necessary information following our Snapchat videos, and it felt very personal because viewers got to see things from our perspective.
