Snapchat has led the way in the departure from Facebook's “anything and everything to anyone” sharing practices, and there continues to be a growing demand for digital social experiences that are more private and less permanent. The app Xpire is gaining popularity among younger social media users by allowing the ephemeral sharing of “content that automatically self-destructs” on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr after a set amount of time. The app also offers features that help reduce one’s digital footprint, like in-depth word searches and tools that calculate the riskiness of a post. (Netted,TechCrunch)
