Snapchat is social, not media
Evan Spiegel
has a piece on Axios, “How Snapchat Is Separating Social from Media”.
I got his
tweet, and retweeted with the comment that I don’t use products that don’t
store what I said. (I can just use the
phone or be in person, or maybe Skype).
I have to admit that as I go down my own agenda for my books,
screenplays, music I could encounter people who want me to be able to use it to
communicate. I’ll reconsider. (It’s also
a little dangerous not to have an account – someone could impersonate you –
this almost happened with Instagram).
Spiegel has
a good point in that algorithms ought to focus more on what “you” do rather
than what “your friends” do. Maybe that played into the susceptibility of Americans
to the Russian fake news attack.
The other
thing is that the “ethics” of wanting to create media may lie below relationship
building, which puts your skin in the game.
But, “I hate speed-dating”.
