#BAZAARGoesSocial Hot Snapchat Tips
#1. When you open the Snapchat app, it immediately takes you to the camera. You can either take a photo (hit the button once) or a video (hold the button down—you get up to 10 seconds).
#2. If you want, write a short message on your snap by clicking the image. A semi-opaque black bar will appear, on which you can type.
Man_Repeller- The always witty Leandra Medine gives you a quirky, behind-the-scenes look at The Man Repeller. Consider Leandra’s Snapchats your front row ticket to New York’s fashion scene and all things cool.
Diplo- Who doesn’t fantasize about hanging with Diplo as their best friend or permanent companion? The swaggy DJ takes insider videos into his jet-setting life where users are able to see him changing (ahem, while shirtless) into his Grammys outfit, to listening to exclusive beats he’s working on. Whatever the case, it’s obvious that it’s Diplo’s world, we’re only watching (avidly on Snapchat).
Now, talking is chic…
Editors across the disciples took up the challenge and have created their own snapchat identities. But how far do we want to take the Snapchat debate and its relevance in the publishing industry as a form of medium – be it in the world of print, digital or social?
