Breakdown: Instagram Stories v. Snapchat Stories
It seems like just yesterday the entire internet was freaking out about Instagram stealing the stories function from Snapchat. People were laughing in the face of Instagram stories, convinced it wouldn’t be able to overtake the Goliath that is Snapchat.
Fast-forward two years later… and here we are. Snapchat stock has been plummeting, due to some posts by the ultimate influencers Rihanna and Kylie Jenner, and Instagram stories are blowing up with 400 million daily active users. They’ve even introduced new emoji reactions to the stories, similar to their parent company, Facebook. Internet influencers have been flocking from Snapchat to Instagram to reach their audience, simply because viewership is so much higher on the photo-sharing app rather than on the…other…photo-sharing app. In fact, many influencers have taken to posting the same stories taken and edited on Instagram to their public Snapchats.

When planning a recent trip to Europe, I found myself — in true social media manager form — following a variety of city-specific influencers to find the most Instagrammable places & restaurants possible. After realizing what I had done, I made it a mission to seek out some of those spots, get my own Instagram-worthy shots — and find out if they were the real deal.

In this week’s social report we’re celebrating World Emoji Day, a day where we can share our love for the little yellow faces that help us express ourselves better than we ever have before (seriously, how did we share gossip with our friends without the steaming tea emoji?) The world truly embraced this day of emojis with the new iOS update featuring redheaded emojis (can we get a “finally!”), Twitter overflowing with love for the underappreciated aerial tram emoji, and Instagram adding emoji reacts to stories, a la Facebook. In addition to Emoji Day, the internet also celebrated Malala Yousafzai’s 21st birthday and her creation of an Instagram account!
