What is Twitter?
Twitter is an online social networking tool in which users post 140 character updates of what is going on in their lives along with links to things they think are interesting, funny, or useful to their followers (“following” being essentially what “friending” is on other sites). People use twitter in many ways, some as a newsfeed by following prominent people or networks, some as a pseudo-chatroom by limiting their followers and whom they follow to close friends and family, and some as a microblog for updating people about the work they are doing and their personal lives.

What is Snapchat?
Snapchat is an app that allows users to send pictures, videos and short captions to friends 10 times faster than text messaging. Te app allows the sender to determine when the message will expire. Users have the option to send a “snap” to one person or a group of people. Once a message is viewed, it will disappear and cannot be retrieved again. However, the person receiving the snap has the ability to take a screenshot of the photo and save it directly to their device. It is important to understand that even though a message may expire, there is no guarantee a photo will not be re-distributed by the receiver. To learn more about the Snapchat app you can go to the Snapchat support website at https://support.snapchat.com/ca/howto.

What is Instagram?
Instagram is a photography app that is used with a mobile device such as a smart phone,
iPad, or tablet. You snap a photo, edit it, and then share it online with your network. The social networking part of Instagram is where the real appeal lies. There are several photo editing apps out there, but the social network attached to Instagram is what reels people in and what keeps people using it. As an Instagram user you can follow people (meaning their photos will be on your Instagram home page) and they can follow you back. Following people in this way enables you to “like” or comment on their photos. If you would like to learn more about Instagram, watch the following video tutorial:
