Name of the Text: SnapchatDate/Time: September 2011Where did you find it? Friends at schoolGenre: CommunicationWhat is the purpose? Institution producing the text:  The purpose of using snap chat is to communicate with people that you are friends with but it is also used to show people on the "stories" what you have been doing or what events are happening. You can also send photo images to people to communicate to show people what your doing. 
Target audience: The target audience really ranges between 12-30, this is because lots of people use it as their main part of communication so it is used a lot. However, snap chat has sometimes been misused and has got some people into trouble where the exchange of explicit images of themselves has happened, this is also illegal and shouldn't happen so those who do use should be warned however many people use it as part of their communication and that is mainly it.
