RIP.
Browsing friends' creative AIM away messages were the precursor to that Snapchat status(?) feature I hear about.

In that case, it's a bit different. Snapchat (and Instagram) stories are a gallery of photos and videos that you upload, where the photos and videos are removed from the gallery after 24 hours. Essentially giving you a rolling 24 hour window into peoples lives.
I've become a big fan of instagram stories as a way of keeping up with what my friends are doing, since I've moved overseas. It feels a lot more appropriate than using something like a Facebook status to share what you're doing.
Ugh, really? That sounds like a lot of work. Pass.
Usually when I take a photo, I say "neat!", so I feel like Bender in Futurama (https://gph.is/1LilXnT)
Anyway, my point is they've made it quite seamless. Pull out phone, swipe for camera, maybe type some text, and hit the upload key.
