Here’s How Much Time Snapchat Users Spend on the App

Snapchat users spend an average of about 30 minutes every day on the popular app, according to new data.
The photo messaging service, which has tried to break more effectively into the advertising space, has touted that figure in its pitches to advertises, BusinessInsider reported on Friday. A Snapchat spokesperson confirmed the number to the site.

According to BusinessInsider, Snapchat’s 100 million daily active users spend an average of 25 to 30 minutes per day on the app. Of those daily users, 60% are creating new content rather than just watching the stories of other users or checking out the app’s Discover feature.

The app aims to become an alternative to TV ads, especially as cord-cutting makes television a less effective way to reach millennials. A Nielsen study commissioned by Snapchat showed that the app reaches 41% of 18 to 34-year-olds in the U.S., while the top 15 TV networks in the country reach just 6% of people in the same age bracket, the site reports.

Sanders, for his part, did his best to hold his ground, justifying his criticism of the President and presenting himself as a change agent while pointing out Clinton’s own differences with Obama. Their heated exchanges over Obama’s legacy reflected how the President has b...

Oscar Pistorius Will Be Sentenced for Murder After Dismissal of his Appeal

A lawyer for Oscar Pistorius says South Africa’s highest court has dismissed the former track star’s appeal of his murder conviction. The ruling by the Constitutional Court on Thursday clears the way for a judge to sentence Pistorius for murder at a hearing scheduled for April 18. Defense lawyer Andrew Fawcett confirmed the Constitutional Court’s decision and said: “We’ll proceed to the sentencing.” Pistorius, who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home in 2013, had appealed to the Constitutional Court, saying another court erred when it overturned a manslaughter conviction and declared the Olympic athlete guilty of murder. The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, though a judge can reduce that sentence for what the law describes as exceptional circumstances. Pistorius is currently under house arrest. [ Time ]
