Draw that dividing line on the other side of the phone and Snapchat &quot;snaps&quot; into clarity for me: Snapchat is for &quot;enjoying the moments you spend with friends&quot; when those friends are <i>somewhere else</i>.<p>If you&#x27;re <i>alone</i> at a bar, but you take some snaps and send them to your friends and they reply while you&#x27;re still there, it&#x27;s sorta-kinda-almost like you&#x27;re hanging out there with them.<p>Or, for a more powerful example: sending snaps of random things over the course of your day to someone you&#x27;re in a long-distance relationship with. It&#x27;s the minute-at-a-time version of exactly what Justin.TV could have done: let you &quot;hang out&quot; with your SO while in another country by being pushed a feed from the camera on their shoulder. (While presumably also being able to text or talk on the phone with them as you like, as well.)
