allows everyone/anyone to view your

Keek is a free online service that
allows its users to upload video
status updates, which are called
"keeks". Users can post keeks to the
Keek website using a webcam or via
the Keek mobile apps Users can also
reply back with text or video
comments, known as "keekbacks",
and share content to other major
social media networks. There is also
an embed option so users can embed
their keeks into a blog or website.

4. Using the application, users can
take photos, record videos, add
text and drawings, and send them
to a controlled list of recipients.
These sent photographs and
videos are known as "Snaps".
Users set a time limit for how long
recipients can view their Snaps (as
of April 2014, the range is from 1
to 10 seconds), after which they
will be hidden from the recipient's
device and deleted from
Snapchat's servers.

5. Twitter is an online social networking and
microblogging service that enables users to
send and read short 140-character text
messages, called "tweets". Registered users
can read and post tweets, but unregistered
users can only read them……..

want lots of followers and want to be
able to interact with everybody…….
