Facebook is crushing you.
It’s generally agreed that the moment you turn 35 years of age you are too old for Snapchat. And here you thought 40 was the new 50.
While this still-trendy social media technology made its mark with “disappearing” pictures designed for teens to get around snooping parents, it’s now a go-to technology for “stitching” together pictures and videos into a 24-hour “story” you share. You, of course, know all this. You've also looked into Stories on Facebook if you have any sort of stake in corporate communication.
A few months ago, Facebook introduced “Stories” functionality which effectively works the same way as Snapchat. You can take pictures, videos and post and fashion them into a 24-hour (or longer) story that you share on your corporate Facebook page.
But what about the “Google Eyes” and “Rainbow Puke” filters made popular by Snapchat, you ask? Yep. They have those too. And they are not quite as gross. Funny looking corporate “pins” instead of puke, cool goggles instead of bulging eyes, etc..
In short, you can duplicate the same exact “Snapchatting” functionality as Snapchat without having to teach a bunch of 35-year-old relics how to install the Snapchat app.
