The Most Important Question On The Planet: Snapchat Vs. Instagram Stories

Oh, so you already Tweet/Facebook/Blog/Instagram/Snapchat? Cool! Except not really, because a) Twitter is for cavepeople and b) now you need to be creating Instagram Stories too.

(YOU GUYS. I JUST joined Snapchat like four weeks ago – @ramshackleglam, if you’d like to see Kendrick choking on peppers and me wrapping my feet in delayed-action acid – and I am already one of the Olds who does not understand what the spring chickens are up to these days.)

OK, so I love Snapchat. I didn’t participate in it for a long enough time that it got weird, given what I do for a living, and then I started doing it, and discovered that it is my absolute favorite outlet precisely because I can just be 100% myself and have fun on it. And then, like two days later, I found out that Instagram was trying to co-opt Snapchat by giving users their own way to post embarrassing/terrible/inexcusable videos that would disappear within twenty-four hours (unless someone takes a screenshot, but that’s a different story).

My job involves social media (and trust me, if I didn’t I would have cashed out around the time when I learned that my Instagram had to be a “carefully curated feed” with a “coherent aesthetic”. My life is incoherent, and usually not very aesthetically pleasing, as life tends to be.)

Anyway. I’m doing my best to put unique content on both my Snapchat and my Instagram Stories (with moderate success), but if you want to cheat a little – and if that’s so, I totally feel you – here’s a handy tutorial video that’ll tell you how to do exactly that.
