Snapchat vs. Twitter
Social media is a huge part of how people receive and view news. Snapchat has a whole page full of news. But unlike Twitter, most of the news on that app is not actual news but more like celebrity news and sports news. There are a few articles on Snapchat that actually have stories about problems and other things going on around the country. Twitter is more of an actual news source. They have a trending page where you can find the top news stories and you click on one and are able to read all about it. Both have an easy way to access news but they both have a different demographic. Snapchat has a much younger audience compared to Twitter so that is why the "news" is much different than Twitters. In the article I read, Andrew Spelnek spoke about Snapchats interface saying, "Confusion is not a good business model." I agree with this but also disagree. I think it is very easy to find the news page, but to find what exactly you are looking for is quite difficult. I ultimately think that because Twitter has real, raw news it will do much better because more of the population chooses to use it.
