I always thought Facebook or Twitter would have been No.1 Social Media Outlet...

While I have instagram, I dont really use it much and snapchat, I cant get away with it

You're lucky with the amount of social media around. We had Yahoo Groups, Faceparty, Forums, MSN Messenger and ICQ. MySpace and such started to take off when I was at college I think.

Yahoo chat was the best back in the day, and had my first MSN account in 1999/2000, was also signed up to AIM Messenger, my main place to socialise back then was the Metro Radio Message Boards and hung around a lot of Roleplay Wrestling Game Sites

Yahoo chat was nuts haha. People playing rave over their mic in the Newcastle rooms, and generally a load of people on the wind-up in the Liverpool rooms.

Aye, those were the days...
Young'uns today have it really good, when we first started using the Internet, it via a 56k dialup modem physically wired up to the phone hub box thing...It would take about 3 days to download one film, there were no such things as smartphones, I remember thinking I was the mutts nuts when I got a Nokia 3150...Polyphonic Ringtones lol and if we were lucky we would have snake as a game or a low res version of solitaire

I have absolutely no desire to participate in either Snapchat or Instagram-based activities. 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.

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.

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...

I am happy with Facebook, Twitter and the forums I am a member of

I only use Facebook, i did have snapchat but i deleted it because it was shit.

Here Here...what is so good about looking at something for about 10 second then it vanishes...If I want to see a photo I want a good look at it, ot blink and it's gone lol

Am I right in thinking Snapchat is mostly used to send nude photos as I often heard of one lass in particular who always seemed to be nude on there.

If anyone is wondering I never found this account so I can't send you a link.

It is, if you send nude shots over snapchat, you're asking for trouble. 

(01 Feb 2015, 11:45 am)Michael wrote It is, if you send nude shots over snapchat, you're asking for trouble. 

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.

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. 

(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. 

Just never take nude photos of yourself, ever!

Especially don't store them on things like the Cloud or any similar sites as they could be potential to hacking's.

Yes, it can be used for that Jimmi, as the picture dissappears after about 10 seconds, though there has been controversy in the past in that pictures can be saved somehow...

That kind of thing appealed to me when I was 18 for about 10 minutes lol

The Snapchat nudes leak wasn't an issue with the Snapchat service. It was down to people using 3rd Party apps, which are banned under the Snapchat TOS. 

I disagree though, as the app can be quite funny at times. As with everything, it depends who you have added on it.

Could see you running about in your birthday suit shouting 'I DO NOT BELIEVE IT'

Got to admit Michael, those Jennifer Lawrence pictures were nice to look at, very easy on the eye

(01 Feb 2015, 12:26 pm)MrFozz wrote Could see you running about in your birthday suit shouting 'I DO NOT BELIEVE IT'

Would that be upon discovering nude photos on some websites or do I just do that anyway.

Fozz, Fozz, Fozz.

I'm disappointed in you,
You say that Jimmi is Victor Meldrew, when Marcus has posted more in the thread than him...

I quite like Snapchat as a social media app. I only have school/uni friends and my cousins on it, but it can be handy for communicating, if say, I've ran out of texts or something. 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.

Am I right in thinking if you take a screenshot, the person who sent it knows you have took a copy of it?

I stole 1581 and drove to Newton Aycliffe, now I'm spying on you and forwarding info to Fozz.

I thought screenshots were in the phone's system - I wouldn't think that the sender would have known.

No...what I meant was I could just imagine a picture or video of you with nowt on shouting 'I DO NOT BELIEVE IT'

Creepy.

If you were going to spy on me surely you should do it in something a bit noticeable than an Eco Green liveried Wright StreetLite, I think I would notice that as the chances of seeing one of them in Aycliffe is slim.
