On Facebook, my friends will post about their promotions; on Snapchat, they tell you about their anxieties at work. Though Stories is only a few weeks old, I have already learned a lot about my friends. “It’s not just their beautiful photos, but it’s who they are.”Whether this lasts is another question. “Because your five other friends posted pictures from some great concert at the beach, and you can’t compete.”For now, at least, I’m enjoying watching people let their freak flag fly. There’s a constant reality show on your phone, but an honest one, starring your friends.
