Introduction
SnapChat is one of the most popular iPhone and android apps on the market today, and sees hundreds of millions of photos and active users through its platform every 24 hours.
Even though the SnapChat early adopter market was pre-teens, teenagers, and college students, its popularity has led to a wider range of demographics and daily users of all ages. SnapChat caught on in popularity initially because its temporary nature made it a magnet for users that didn't want any evidence of their communications.
However, SnapChat has evolved into a communication platform that has a wealth of possibilities, not only for its users, but also for businesses and marketers that want to reach their target market in a whole new way.

Chapter 1: What is SnapChat?
Nathan Jurgenson, a culture theorist who works at SnapChat, explained in a fascinating way what binds SnapChat to the impermanence
of communication today, and why this makes SnapChat the best of the very best:
The social media profile attempts to convince us that life, in all its ephemeral flow, should also be its simulation; the ephemeral flow of lived experience is to be hacked into a collection of separate, discrete, objects to be shoved into the profile containers. The logic of the profile is that life should be captured, preserved, and put behind glass. It asks us to be collectors of our lives, to create a museum of our self. Moments are chunked off, put in a grid, quantified, and ranked. Permanent social media are based on such profiles, with each being more or less constraining and grid-like. Rethinking permanence means rethinking this kind of social media profile, and it introduces the possibility of a profile not as a collection preserved behind glass but something more living, fluid, and always changing.

SnapChat is a messaging application that shares photos temporarily with one or more contacts. The photos only last temporarily, for an amount of time that is set by the sender. This can be anywhere from 1 to 10 seconds. Afterward, the photo is inaccessible and cannot be seen by either the sender or the receiver (however, receivers can take a screenshot of a SnapChat, but the sender is notified).
Besides taking a photo and captioning it, users can also
