This book contains information on what, why and how's of Snapchat. Jones starts with a brief introduction about Snapchat, it's history and eventually proceeds to topics such as Snapchat paid Advertising.Developed by three Stanford University students (Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy and Reggie Brown) as a part of a class project, Snapchat began under the name Picaboo. When Evan Spiegel (pictured to the left) debuted their idea to the class in April 2011, the other students scoffed at the idea of impermanent photos. Little did they know that this idea would go on to become insanely popular.In 2014, the Snapchat app was the fastest growing social app, boosting a 57-percent growth in the course of the year. While Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook Messenger also had a high rate of growth, none of them could come close to keeping up with the amount of downloads Snapchat was/is getting. While there are many different platforms out there that incorporate images and videos, Snapchat has found a niche in the social media universe. It has become one of the most popular social networks around. And it shows no signs of stopping. Snapchat is a social media app that allows you to take pictures and videos and send them to others without having to worry about whether or not it'll still be there the next day - in particular, worrying about your embarrassing pics and videos. This is because Snapchat was designed to specifically delete or remove the pictures or videos - also called memories - that you post from its database within 24 hours after being posted on its platform. And more than just being about pictures and videos, Snapchat is all about short-term content, also called transient pictures and videos. That is why, by default, all you can see on the app's home screen is just a simple camera view. And with such simplicity, it's very easy and convenient to send your pictures and videos to just about anyone on Snapchat. Here is a preview of what you will learn...Snapchat and it's historyGetting Started on SnapchatHow to take and Send a SnapHow is Snapchat different from WhatsApp and FacebookGaining followers on SnapchatSnapchat Paid AdvertisingConverting FollowersAnd More.....

Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage love in a futuristic society where people connect to the Internet via feeds implanted in their brains. Winner of the LA Times Book Prize. For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play around with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who knows something about what it’s like to live without the feed-and about resisting its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., M. T. Anderson has created a brave new world - and a hilarious new lingo - sure to appeal to anyone who appreciates smart satire, futuristic fiction laced with humor, or any story featuring skin lesions as a fashion statement.

When their mom's boyfriend took them in, Della had Suki. When that same boyfriend did something so awful they had to run fast, Della had Suki. Suki is Della's own wolf--her protector. But who has been protecting Suki? Della might get told off for swearing at school, but she has always known how to keep quiet where it counts. Then Suki tries to kill herself, and Della's world turns so far upside down, it feels like it's shaking her by the ankles. Maybe she's been quiet about the wrong things. Maybe it's time to be loud.
