Actually an interesting idea - in this context Facebook's purchase of Face.com might seem prescient. Separately - as data gets cheaper and video chat is further optimized, video chat over 3G/4G becomes more feasible. Probably our answer to

Potentially, but I think the gap facetime/skype fills is real time, whereas snapchat is async no matter how you slice it. It's explicitly a call+response method of communication that the receiver can engage right away, or view tomorrow, and

Yep. The answer might be in someone who figures out how to optimize video chat for efficiency.

I experience this also. In addition, the UI is kludged into iOS - they just did their best to port the desktop UI. It works, as apps go, but obviously wasn't built from the ground up for mobile.

Fair point actually - didn't consider that the cost is embedded. That said, How often are those the data hogs? (Anecdotally from myself, I rarely come near the data caps). My assumption is that even today, video apps are the most data inten

Curious - all of our parents' preferred methods of communication cost money...letters, long distance phone calls, mobile phone calls. All of Josh's sister's (and her peer sets) methods of communication cost nothing (Instagram, Facebook, Kik

They never took it seriously to begin with, and now that its clear that this is a serious market, they're too late. I wouldn't put it past them to invest additionally in GoPro (or some competitor). Separately - who are GoPro's competitors?

I'd seen the elevator example, but didn't know the airport one. Sort of diabolical but I guess it works. The agony of waiting also extends to software. One thing I truly despise is waiting for web pages/apps to load or update, but I've noti

Does anyone have any idea (anecdotal or broad) how often this happens in startups dealing with large companies? Was the Best Buy case the exception or the rule? Pretty egregious.
