Snack Social Summary-Changes to Snapchat’s Discovery feature, Google+ scaled back, and copyrighted jokes on Twitter?

You may notice something a bit different about the Discover panel on Snapchat— the Yahoo and Warner Music Group channels have been replaced by BuzzFeed and iHeartRadio, perhaps in an effort to cater to Snapchat’s younger users.

Planning a trip to the African desert or the South American mountains? No worries, you might still be able to keep up with your Facebook notifications. The company is introducing a drone to deliver internet to remote areas from the sky.

While Facebook is expanding its global boundaries, Google is scaling back the reach of social network flop Google+. Doubtful that anyone will be shedding too many tears over this news.

Want to take credit for someone else’s joke? Here’s a hint: Don’t do it on Twitter! The social platform is clamping down on copyrighted jokes by removing any tweets which have been blatantly copied.

And finally, PC users could be treated to a totally new Twitter experience. The new Windows 10 software will feature a Twitter desktop app customised specifically for the platform. At last, something that iOS users don’t have yet!
