What are they selling? Ads on sexts? (Serious question it doesn't say how they intend to monetize).
- coryl 13y ago
  Most likely ads that are actual snapchats.
- AlexMuir 13y ago
  Themselves.
alexjeffrey 13y ago
what kind of a mad world do we live in where an app for sending pictures to your friends with a slight twist is worth $1B? That applies to both snapchat and instagram...
- krapp 13y ago
  I keep feeling like I've shown up to the platform 20 minutes after the money train left...
  - w1ntermute 13y ago
    That's because you need to build the money train yourself if you want to have one, even if it's guaranteed to fall off a cliff in the long run (like Snapchat).
    - krapp 13y ago
      well that's not how trains are supposed to work at all ;_; ... fine. I guess I'll go get my hammer then.
- kenshiro_o 13y ago
  And some say there is no bubble in start-up world... If someone has any idea what is going on here please explain to me because I do not understand how we have come down to this.
  - ebf 13y ago
    There are 450 million Snapchats sent a day. Their engagement is insane and so is their month over month growth. Snapchat has created a new form of communication that a lot of people enjoy using. If we use other startups as benchmarks (Tumblr, Instagram), the valuation does not seem far-fetched.
    - thedrbrian 13y ago
      Do either of them make any money?
minimaxir 13y ago
Given the graph in the article, it wouldn't surprise me if Facebook made another get-all-users-so-it-doesn't-threaten-core-business acquisition a la Instagram. Although in this case, Facebook tried making a Snapchat clone (Poke) and failed miserably, so such an acquisition might show a weakness in Facebook product strategy and be somewhat embarrassing.
- finkin1 13y ago
  I would love to see Facebook try to acquire Snapchat. They were so arrogant when they launched Poke, claiming they made the entire app in 12 days. I thought it was pretty low to make a full blown copy of Snapchat.
  - untog 13y ago
    I actually wonder to what extent Facebook really planned Poke. The way it was always described, a small team built it over the course of a weekend- I can see it being a random project people decided to do that got launched without any major strategy behind it.
- ebf 13y ago
  Facebook already tried to acquire Snapchat and obviously was not successful. I would assume that's would spurred them to make Poke.
- zacman85 13y ago
  Snapchat was likely trying to value itself in comparative terms to Instagram. Instagram was a threat because it had both the meteorically rising product AND the engineering team capable of scaling ahead of that growth. I think Facebook created Poke not to compete directly, but as a response to the comparison to Instagram. Facebook "coded Snapchat in a weekend", literally.
  - jmonegro 13y ago
    It was actually 12 days.
finkin1 13y ago
How Snapchat will actual monetize remains a mystery, but if I had to guess I would say they are working on a paid snap system. I'm not sure how they would go about creating ads that are relevant to the user. If I got a snap from a random company I imagine it would just piss me off. Maybe they will offer an ad free version via subscription model.
mc-lovin 13y ago
I don't see how you can base a long term business model on a technology that can easily be broken (i.e. cracking the app so that photos aren't deleted after some time like the sender intended). I guess in the short term they can make some money and transition to some other business model, but I feel like "SnapchatKeep" is just around the corner if it doesn't exist already.
- ojr 13y ago
  if they had a feature to upload saved snapchats online, I would do it and share it through facebook and twitter, in fact I already do http://olaji.de/snapchat http://olaji.de/snapchat a lot of my friends find it hilarious and I have almost double the amount of snaps saved on my phone right now, than on the site... I plan to upload more and more while snapchat value goes up and up, I am a 20 year old college student, a lot of you older guys have trouble understanding...
  - mc-lovin 13y ago
    >a lot of you older guys have trouble understanding... Maybe when you're 30 you will be able to form a complete sentence.
    - ojr 13y ago
      sorry "understand snapchat", ojr is my snapchat, I should give you my password, you'll see a few of my college girl friends send you snaps and maybe you will be closer to undertanding...
- untog 13y ago
  It's not based on a technology. It's based on this sort of idea of transient photography- compare it to Instagram where everyone carefully curates every photo and ensures it has the right filter, etc. etc.- people Snapchat photos of themselves making stupid faces to each other. I'm not saying that makes it worth $1bn, but I think the criteria is different than you make out.
te_chris 13y ago
Crazy valuation, shit load of funding and no way to make money? Quick somebody should let Yahoo! know...
- stock_toaster 13y ago
  No "e" in the name? Check. Yup. Meets all the qualifications for a Yahoo! purchase.
