‘Sexting App’ That Deletes Naked Photos is Scary at Best

According to the folks at Snapchat, their iPhone/Android app is all about making social media fun again. How does it accomplish this goal? By letting users send photos to each other — then deleting those images mere seconds after they’re viewed.

You might wonder why you’d bother sending a photo to someone in the first place if you wanted it to self-destruct. Well, you might have taken an unflattering photo, or you might want the freedom of knowing the image isn’t going to be shared outside your conversation.

Or, you know, you might be sending out a picture of your genitalia. In theory, this would’ve been a great application for Anthony Weiner — but 1) it’s marketed for teens, and 2) it’s not exactly bulletproof.

Using your Kindle for school

One of the biggest complaints from kids during the school year is‘My backpack is so heavy!’ When you consider everything a student needs to carry around on a daily basis, it seems like a wheelbarrow might serve them better and actually hold everything they need!

When you start thinking about your Back to School needs this year, how about you mix things up a bit or think outside the box, er backpack? Did you know you can rent textbooks viaKindle Textbook Rentals? By choosing this option, you save up to 80% off textbook list prices by renting from the Kindle store, pay only for the time you need, can read it on the go anywhere and access your notes and highlights anytime. This is convenience for school work at its best!

SnapChat – A Popular App for Teens But With a Dark Side

THIS MESSAGE WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN 10 SECONDS!! Seriously!

Snapchat icon The Basics:

SnapChat is an application for iPhones, iPads and Android devices that allows subscribers to send photos to other subscribers. However, unlike sending photos or text messages in other ways, SnapChat allows users to set a 1 second to 10 second expiration of the photo. So, users can send time limited photos that might be embarrassing or just silly without a significant fear that it will find its way to other social media sites where it might live forever.

The Origins:

SnapChat was developed by Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy, two Stanford University students who were convinced that emoticons were not enough to transmit the emotion that a person might be wishing could be sent with a text message. But they were also nervous that a quick snap of a cellphone camera showing a particular emotion might end up being inappropriate for a social media site where the picture could be posted for all the world to see. So the concept of a time-limited photo sharing application was born.
