I'm also very optimistic about Snap - it's one of the only social networks I use regularly.

> There seems to be a hard boundary with reaching the demographic of users in developed nations and both Snap and Twitter are there I think Twitter and snap are very different. Snap is a messenger app and has the same potential as FB messenger or wechat. Twitter will never be that. The latest news has Tencent making a strategic investment and bringing chinese style monetization to Snapchat. I'm very optimistic about this.

    Games, payment, micro-transactions.
