Snapchat loses their "best friends".

I'm writing this post because I find it hilarious how upset people got over Snapchat's recent update.  As we all know, they got rid of the best friends tab.  Well Twitter went crazy after this. Mostly people were mad because they now weren't going to be able to keep track on their significant other.  Others just admittedly like being nosey and seeing who their friends are snapchatting.  I find it interesting how it use to be Facebook or Twitter (where practically anyone can look you up) that people would stalk other people but now even our closest friends can stalk us on Snapchat..or they could. What is the obsession with staking people online?  I mean it is scary how much you can find out about someone without even so much as saying one word to them, just from a couple of websites.  Maybe this isn’t a bad thing though.  Maybe it actually makes our life easier.  We don’t have to spend all that time getting to know someone only to realize we don’t actually have that much in common.  But what about the times you think you don’t like someone from seeing their online profiles only to get to know them in person and find out they’re actually really cool?  What does that say about social media?  I mean are we completely honest about who we are on social media or do we put out an image we want people to think we are?
