What seems powerful about this idea is its more like a common physical space you gather in with your friends than a phone or video conference. You show up "in the house" (treehouse, cafeteria, club, call it whatever) and some of your friends are there, some aren't. You don't have to call people up and interaction just happens naturally more like it would if you walked into a room of your friends. I wrote off Snapchat with many of the same kind of flip dismissals and I was pretty wrong about how popular it would eventually be. I'm too old for this app, or even snapchat, but think back to when you were a teen and remember what it was like to just shoot the shit with friends after class. Thats the kind of interaction they seem to be trying to facilitate.
