Staying in Touch + Snapchat Group Chats
When I ask people what they think of Snapchat, they seem to either love it or hate it — with not a whole lot of feelings in between. Those that love it and use it every day are usually part of a younger age-group (< 25), but there are certainly many exceptions (including myself!).

My Sister Moves to Austin + Instagram
