Facebook, and occasionally Twitter, are the only social media platforms I engage with on a regular basis. I also have a Linkedin account which I hardly ever use.I am not a not a big lover of instagram, I am signed up and look at it every sp often and I dont get the appeal for snapchat...
The Internet wasn't really around when I was at school. I first started using the net regularly at college in 1995 although I had a brief introduction to the world-wide-web sometime in 1994. There was a modem-based system called Portcullis (I think) available at local libraries in Gateshead during the early 90s - it was basically teletext which could be edited.
When I went to college, mIRC was all the rage for chatting while website guestbooks were also used before Forums became popular.

If anyone is wondering I never found this account so I can't send you a link.
(01 Feb 2015, 11:45 am)Michael wrote It is, if you send nude shots over snapchat, you're asking for trouble.
(01 Feb 2015, 11:48 am)Jimmi wrote Yep, I'm told nude photos often end up on porn sites.
All I think to say to stuff like this and celebs phones being hacked and nude photos end up online is don't take nude photos of yourself especially if you're famous.
(01 Feb 2015, 11:52 am)Michael wrote Look at Jennifer Lawrence, all those nudes she done although not over snapchat, i think it was the cloud?, they were leaked, it can be dangerous to.

It also has a comical aspect if people are bored, so I often get snaps from contacts with random stuff on.
To answer Fozz's query, one way to save Snapchat photos is to take a screenshot. I've done that in the past a canny few times for the funny snaps that I sometimes get.
