Snapchat turns down $3B offer fron FBook

[Kitten Diver]

Anyone ever use this app? It seems it would have been nice to have back in my single days. Apparently it went from $400k VC money to $3B valus in less than a year..

My cousin who is 22 and at uncw uses it a lot. I wish he would show me the girls. There's also a twitter that's something like LeakedSnapchats.

I probably send or receive 50 a day. It's kinda sad. 

[Kitten Diver]

So its just for titty/dick pics? Is there another use I'm not seeing?

[Hawk]

did someone say tittys?

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

I think its usage is dying down a lot. Should've taken the 3 billion...

As a 20 year old at a large educational institution (UT Austin), I can say that this app is WIDELY used. It's not only for titty/dick pics, but many people do use it for that purpose. It's just like any other "modern" iOS social media app, like instagram and vine. It was a clever idea, but I mean, it's just a flash in the pan. I don't think the app is sustainable enough to generate more profit in, let's say, 5 years. 

 

All you old geezers are fascinated with social media and titty pics hahaha

:P

It tells people when you screenshot one of their pictures though, so it makes the whole promiscuous pictures a little bit more difficult.

 

But I'm a young stallion, I can finish in less than 10 seconds if need be.

I'm on it. Lots of the models I shoot use it and send out some crazy poo in the middle of the night.

[Kitten Diver]

Sharing is caring Zod. I know you have the skillz to leak these without them knowing

[Panthro]

Shoulda taken the $3Billion.

 

Technologies like this are fad-esque and as soon as it is deemed not cool....its done for

 

Also trying to think of a business use for it. Facebook wants it because it has a huge demographic that facebook has admittingly been losing. teens

I think it was pretty dumb to pass up this.  3 BILLION dollars?  His family for generations would be set.  You could take that money and create something else, and this time not worry about loans or anything.   It is true, technology comes and goes, you make money when you can and run.  Look at MySpace and how quickly its value fell?

That's an insane amount of money, they should've taken it.

 

I heard that fb had offered them like $1B last year... maybe they're waiting for more... I have a concept of what you can do with $3B.  Maybe they don't...

Exactly.  My concept is not having to work ever again, swimming in 100 dollar bills, getting a fruit punch fountain in your room like Mr. Deeds, seeing any sporting event you want, etc.

 

Greed may turn out bad for this guy.  We'll see though.  I mean how much isn't enough?
