If we take a step back and look at what Snapchat is, it all starts with the camera.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Snapchat really has to do with the way photographs have changed. Historically, photos have always been used to save really important memories: major life moments. But today... pictures are being used for talking.
The fun thing about Snapchat is really the surprise and the joy that comes from learning how to use it.
I started hearing Snapchat in the same context as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. That got me curious.
It's not 100 per cent clear to me what's working about Snapchat.
Everybody around me had a Snapchat, and I said I would never get on it. I'm still on Instagram, you know? They convinced me to get Snapchat.
Nowadays, everyone has a camera phone, and you have to be careful about being caught out there looking crazy and ending up on the Internet.
People are worried about privacy, and its one of the reasons people are using a service like SnapChat.
I look at the camera as sort of a missing link between motion picture photography and still photography.
I can't stand Snapchat, but that will be extinct before it is relevant.
The essence of conversation is not which media format we choose to talk to each other with, so we don't differentiate between snaps and chats. It's just someone wanting to talk to you.
