Snapchat: This is an interesting app that is getting more and more attention. It is a different way of communicating with your friends: real-time picture chatting. It works very simple: take a picture, write a short message, if you want to, and send it to your friends. When you send it, you set up a time limit the picture will stay on your friends screen before it deletes (up to 10 seconds, I think). Once it is opened by your friends, the picture will only be available for the time you set it up for. I can already see this app having some interesting uses!!! Here's the link.
