>I'd expect this sort of thing from an app where people are sending private images, against the initial intent/design. But Snapchat? The thing about Snapchat is that it's basically held together with sticky tape and string. It's not totally dissimilar to where Facebook was a year or so from launch (2006 or so): code that was pretty much thrown together, and hasn't had much time for improvement. I haven't seen the codebase itself, but I'm coming to this conclusion based upon pulling apart both the client apps and the god-awful API that's used. Perhaps in the last few months it has improved somewhat, but it was still pretty dodgy back in May or so.
