It's a better case than twitter though. There is no obvious way of monetizing twitter, while there are many ways that I can think of that snapchat can monetized. For example, Line and Kakao have massively succeeded with their sticker/character business, and snapchat could bring something similar. There are many other ways I can list. So, the issue is not "What are possible methods of monetization?" but "How do I optimize profit?" This is definitely a more favorable setting than twitter.

So 4B for a selling stickers business model?

  Kakao's business model history is actually rather fascinating, and they keep grabbing sizeable market shares in unlikely or previously inexpressive markets to great success. > In 2012, KakaoTalk's $42 million revenue is broken down to 67.5% ($31.1M) gaming, 26.2% ($12.1M) advertising, and 6.3% ($2.8M) emoticon sales.

    $200MM rev is crumbs when you're taking billions. I don't think this provides a good example of how it can work.
