Social Media Takeover

This week I participated in my first live chat on twitter, it was the #SMChat and to be honest I thought it wouldn't be very fun but i was surprised and spent almost a full fifty minutes in the chat room replying and just seeing what others had said about certain topics. I only answered a few questions and then mainly spectated for the rest of the time. I answered the first question which was, what percent of your applications do you use a day?


Also as I watched others in the chat room i dont think i saw anyone who said that they used less than 50% of their applications on a given day, thats a lot of time people (including me) are looking at their phones.
The second question was when the narrator asked what the number of total apps on my phone was and I replied with:

After doing this live chat I realized that most of the people on twitter use a lot of the apps on their phones, which would make sense because most of the people in the chat are in the same PR class as I am. But none the less I noticed a common occurrence  of applications that different people kept saying they used daily or at least had on their phones. The main applications that seemed to pop up most were Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, and Instagram. all of these applications also have a messaging section which links them together too.



. I also noticed a lot of people were using texting lingo in their chats and shortening words like "you" to "U" or even misspelling words with out even noticing and then having to go back and send another tweet to fix the mistake.
