Who's being real?

And it randomly asks your friends at the same time to do that, right? So everybody should post Snap at the same time now, because I've only got a few friends on there, it's not quite syncing that way. But I think it would be cool if there were more people that I knew on the app. And the other thing is it gives you this little diary that only you can see, like a calendar

It's interesting you bring this up. I just read an article, I think it was yesterday or the day before that was talking about this new app and that instagram is attempting to create a let's say a facsimile of it to incorporate, just like they did with reals and real response to tik tok. It'll be interesting to see if it takes off and how popular it does or doesn't become. But to answer your question, I'm not on that app

But if you look at the feed of everybody else, like if you put it in the public feed, they're just really crazy. Nobody is posing or it's not a nice picture, it's just be real. So what I find interesting, apart from everybody that you know, sending in the picture at the same time because it's just like things like a guest, because there are people who are at work or whatever. I want the tube

Thank you. I can't foresee myself having any interest. I do think it's intriguing, like you said, to like, sort of look at a calendar of all these random photos of ourselves in the situations we were in, but not enough that I really want to be get part of it. I don't know. But you know what? I said these kinds of things about Twitter way back in the day. Not that I'm a prolific Twitter user, you know what I mean?

But in the moment I did it and I was like, okay, so it's cool. And now I'm using it. It's not very consuming. It's not like something that consumes your time much. So there you go. I'm doing it for fun. Who knows if I carry on using it? Depends, really. But it depends, really, if there's other people on the app, I suppose

Hey, Markr, you know, I'm having breakfast, by the way, in a cafe. Or I've had my breakfast in the cafe. They tell me something if I sign up for this will get notifications out of the blue, and the notifications will interrupt me doing what I'm doing and distract me because I have to, as quickly as possible, snap. And is it myself that I have to Snap? Take a quick photo of it? Could I photograph a field full of cows?

And at present, in my friends list, I've only got a few people and so it pings us all at the same time. Like today, I've literally only got about three people on there and they all just posted their pick. Sitting there watching TV. I was sitting with the cat or whatever it was, right? I was looking at the window. Yeah, so I just posted it and so it's between us. It's just fun

Sorry, Mark. I am not downloading yet another app. I'm so over this technological addiction that we have going. How many platforms do we have to connect on? Why can't we just write an aerogram like the good old days? Bye

There four there's four of us, but there's a lot of people in the public using it. So you can look in discovery. It's just fun, but it doesn't suck a lot of my time and kind of enjoying it, but, yeah, I get it. I don't think many people would join that. I know. And whether they keep using it, I don't know, but at the moment, I'm enjoying it
