Richard Drew/AP hide caption toggle caption Richard Drew/AP A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that Snapchat should be held legally responsible in a case in which a young man used the app's "speed filter" feature before a fatal crash. Richard Drew/AP Three young men got into a car in Walworth County, Wisc. in May 2017. They were set on driving at rapid speeds down a long, cornfield-lined road — and sharing their escapade on social media. As the 17-year-old behind the wheel accelerated to 123 miles per hour, one of the passengers opened Snapchat. His parents say their son wanted to capture the experience using one of the app's filters that documents real-life speed, hoping for engagement and attention from followers on the messaging app. It was one of the last things the trio did before the vehicle ran off the road and crashed into a tree, killing all of them. Was Snapchat partially to blame? The boys' parents think so. And, in a surprise decision on…

When developing a digital strategy that integrates Social Media use, organisations should consider several factors that relate to age demographics, location of their audience, and the available social media metrics. The use of the most popular social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Snapchat and YouTube among other sites depends heavily on the age, employment status, advertising strategies and preference of users. Currently, Facebook is the most used social media site with about a third of the world’s population having about 2.7 billion users actively engaged on a weekly basis. On the other hand, platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and WhatsApp follow. These platforms attract people of different ages and work categories. One underlying factor that contributes to how a site is used is how interactive, functional, responsive and personal it is. Through researching their target audience, small-medium organisations with limited resources can maximise on the benefits of user-generated content from their loyal follower-base. Utilising the advantages that a personal post, response and comment can create online visibility. When followers feel heard and connected on any platform, they easily convert into loyal clients and advocates of the brand and the cause they follow. Therefore, it is…

YouTube, Snapchat, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook’s Instagram have overturned the movie and TV businesses, with another rush of cinematographers, directors, and entertainers utilizing developments in innovation to make new work and associate straightforwardly with billions of purchasers to see it. Today, a startup is declaring some subsidizing as it hopes to have a comparative effect in the realm of music. Rapchat, an application that allows individuals to make music tracks — raps, as its names recommend, or something different — utilizing a stage that publicly supports beats and allows individuals to put vocals on top of them, has raised $2.3 million. Co-drove by Sony Music Entertainment and NYC VC firm Adjacent, this is an expansion to Rapchat’s seed round of $1.7 million back in 2018, and CEO and fellow benefactor Seth Miller reveals to me it’s coming as the startup is preparing for a greater Series A. With no association with Snapchat — not present at any rate, then again, actually, originators Seth Miller and Pat Gibson thought it was an interesting quip at the time that they were first imagining the organization as a side hustle while still in college in 2015 — Rapchat has effectively gone very some…

As far as social media platforms go, Snapchat is one of the most fun and versatile. However, its image-focused nature means that it is potentially one of the more sensitive. Think of the kinds of things users post: Selfies, pictures of friends and activities, even their active location. You can, and should, have fun on Snapchat. But you should also make sure that you are doing so safely. How to Access and Adjust General Settings for Privacy There are a couple of general rules that you should consider on any social media account, including Snapchat. These are things like not including your full or real name in your screen name and handle, and being cautious of what you post. For added security, you can sign up using an email that you don't give out so that other users can't find you by importing their contacts. However, for more specific controls, you can access a special selection of privacy tools within Snapchat's settings menu. To find these tools, select your bitmoji from the upper-left corner of the screen to access your profile. From here, select the red gear in the upper-right corner to access your settings. Before scrolling down to the…
