It's great for a light, whimsical touch. Throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks. Photos of yourself making a fool of yourself, everywhere, all the time. Stupid puns, stupid jokes, stupid selfies, stupid stuff which is really the best stuff, if you ask me :). No ultra well thought out filtered perfect square omg look at the color chroma jesus on my toast kind of photos. That'd be a waste of time. Just passing thoughts, fleeting moments. It's so great for a light touch to keeping up with far away friends and family. You don't need a reason to send a snap of just your face doing O.O. And it reminds you of each other. But you wouldn't do that over e-mail or Facebook :P.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoDo people really have that much time to create and view junk? Random photos of whatever? I'm unsure how this is better than SMS/MMS/iMessage, or how it has more value. Twitter with pics and video in private groups?
- argonaut 10y agoHave you been in a new relationship recently? Anecdotally it's pretty common for a couple to send pictures to one another of their faces through Snapchat - just nice to see each other and see what each other is doing. This is a classic Snapchat use case.
- SmellyGeekBoy 10y agoMy wife and I do this all the time and we've been together 16 years...
- randycupertino 10y agoHaha... exactly. today I didn't even have time to eat lunch at my desk. How do people have time to create and view that many random snaps?
- dirtyaura 10y agoWork-oriented people seem to have hard time understanding what makes most people happy. Friends, family, sex. Maybe they care about their friends and loved ones? Maybe seeing them brings happiness to them. A honest intimate photo which is not meant for public consumption.
- lmm 10y ago> Do people really have that much time to create and view junk? Random photos of whatever? Yes. It's the equivalent of a casual conversation. Think watercooler/bar. Or indeed HN. Do you really spend every waking minute doing stuff for the ages? > I'm unsure how this is better than SMS/MMS Cheaper. Working group support. > /iMessage Not iphone-only > Twitter with pics and video in private groups? Does twitter even do that? Don't you have to upload the pics/videos somewhere? Certainly I would never think to open the twitter app and send a photo or video with it.
