Keep in mind that Snapchat is a newcomer relative to FB and Twitter. Its "staying power" has yet to be demonstrated. When a new and shiny social network pops up and starts to compete with the big boys, then we'll see if Snapchat is truly here to stay. I'd argue that the most resilient social network ever created is without a doubt Facebook. I personally still use it for general news and to keep up to date with what my family and friends are doing.
