Generally speaking, the people who come to work at Snapchat believe in personal growth. It's part of why Snapchat's stories are ephemeral, because you will be a different person tomorrow.
Snapchat is the platform I should have built at Justin.tv, so I'm jumping on the bandwagon and going hard on Snapchat.
I Snapchat in the bath. I Snapchat when I wake up. I'm giving people inspiration. It's like a TV show.
The main gripe I have with Snapchat is as a content creator, which I understand is not the normal perspective... How is anyone ever going to find my Snapchat Story if they don't have my username or my number?
Snapchat's the place where people are hearing and learning about culture.
The cool thing about Snapchat is you can get a lot of news on there now. There's CNN, ESPN, and I find myself reading the most random articles. I don't know how it actually benefits me, but it's interesting. I like to stay up on current events, so I have to give kudos to Snapchat: they've done a good job of that. But I'm on there way too much.
Everybody around me had a Snapchat, and I said I would never get on it. I'm still on Instagram, you know? They convinced me to get Snapchat.
The fun thing about Snapchat is really the surprise and the joy that comes from learning how to use it.
I'm late, right? I'm always late to every social media thing. I noticed my friends all did Snapchat, and, like, a lot of celebrities, so I was like, 'Oh OK... Maybe I need to get Snapchat.'
TV is no longer the best alternative to boredom. To kids not old enough for Snapchat, music is the best alternative to boredom. For Snapchat users, it's the best alternative to boredom.
Snapchat works because using a selfie is way easier than texting or tweeting. Stories should adapt to the medium and do so without cheapening the story.
Every camera shoots horizontal, right? So we're all super used to framing things with lots of horizontal room. We've seen this new wave of Snapchat stories and Instagram stories where people are actually framing for and recording in vertical. Whether it's better or not is debatable.
My oldest grew up on Disney, but my youngest is all about Snapchat and YouTube.
It's not 100 per cent clear to me what's working about Snapchat.
I don't send and receive messages on Snapchat; I never have. Stories is the only feature I use. I think of them becoming a more dynamic social network, and I think it's great.
People think they have a perfect idea of who you are from a four-second Snapchat video... and fake blogs, stories, magazine covers. In reality, that's not the case. Nobody knows who I am except family and my close friends.
