April 24--It's Chicago's turn to shine--even in overcast weather.
Snapchat, a mobile photo sharing service, is aggregating short video submissions Friday from Chicago users to create a story of the day in the life of the Windy City. Videos already displayed by Snapchat show people in a boat on the Chicago River, the view of the city from a CTA train and a man showing off his Bulls tattoo.
It may be the first time Chicago has been the focus of this feature. Previous stories have showcased life in Los Angeles, New York and Amsterdam.
Only Snapchat users in Chicago can submit videos but Snapchat users outside the city can view the stories using the app.
Snapchat has become a popular photo sharing service among teenagers because photos are only viewable for a limited time. Snapchat, which launched nearly four years ago, last year reportedly reached 100 million monthly users.
