Jamaica Becomes The First Caribbean Nation to be Featured on Snapchat

Yesterday Snapchat users in Jamaica received a message, notifying them that for 24 hours, Jamaica would be a featured location.

Snapchat is a messaging application for sharing moments and reportedly has over 100 million monthly users.

Users can take photographs or videos, add  captions and send them to their friends.

Friends can then view ‘Snaps’ for up to 10 seconds, before they disappear.

Being featured on snapchat is a big deal as it means that for 24 hours we have a grand opportunity to share aspects of Jamaica with many people around the world.

The announcement has created palpable excitement across the island and if the person who tweeted this below is right, it may also be a rewarding day for some of  major telecom providers.

Jamaica is the first Caribbean nation to be featured on the popular platform.

Though only a limited number of snaps submitted by Jamaicans will be selected by Snapchat’s curation team for the world to see, many Jamaicans have already submitted snaps highlighting Jamaica in their own way.
